The Web Got so Good You Can Build a Startup in 1 Day

10 years ago, building for the web was pretty hard.

Wanna charge a credit card? At least a week of work.
Wanna store user info? You better know how to run and host MySQL.
Want to go live? Good luck configuring Nginx or Apache.
Want a dynamic experience on the frontend? Browsers don’t even use the same JavaScript.

Nowadays you can conceptualize and launch a product in 1 day. React makes it super easy to build webapps, UI kits mean you don’t need design skills, Gatsby makes your stuff fast, GraphQL makes it easy to get data, Serverless means you never have to configure a server again.

We live in the future. It’s amazing

This talk, inspired by the #24hrstartup challenge, is about how all of a sudden you can build a startup in one day. From scratch.
