Remove every technical term and pitch 'your idea becomes a business'

David… Shipper, you can build websites, web apps, mobile apps, Chrome extensions, and all sorts of bots for apps like Telegram, Discord, you name it. We looked at all of our competitors' Trustpilot pages, we looked at their public roadmaps, and we've joined their Discord servers. We were just looking at what their users were complaining about, and we even got people on our customer support chat saying, 'I want to turn this website into a mobile app.'

DavidThat's how we came up with the idea of building mobile apps. We started Shipper with the core idea of eliminating any technical terms, because even though Lovable or Base44 were aiming to serve non-technical people, they still had certain parts that felt kind of scary. Instead, we made it clear that Shipper transforms your thoughts and ideas into a live business that can make money with zero skills required. So, from the start, we saw an opportunity to go beyond just websites and web apps.

Pat WallsThis is the thing that I think a lot of people get wrong. A lot of people watching this are looking for that new idea. Instead, go look at massive spaces, big companies, growing companies, and then doing the indie thing, the bootstrap thing, and winning just exactly like you are. The last question that we ask all founders who come onto Starter Story is: if you could give your younger self advice before you got started, what would be your advice?
