Announcing Wasp Launch Week #4: Waspolution + win swag! ๐Ÿ‘•๐Ÿ

The beginning of October was both the craziest and busiest time we've ever had at Wasp - we ended up on GitHub Trending (almost at 7,000 stars - thank you๐Ÿ™), MAGE (our GPT web app generator) exploded with 20,000 apps created, and more people than ever used Wasp!

Crazily enough, we've even had a first startup project made in Wasp that has been acquired (GPT-powered, of course)! ๐Ÿ’ธ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ’ธ

To top it all off, we have a new launch week incoming that brings a ton of new exciting product updates! If this is your first rodeo, check out our previous launches:

Launch Week 1: Beta ๐ŸŽ‰
Launch Week 2: Pizzazz ๐Ÿ•
Launch Week 3: Magic ๐Ÿง™

How do I win the swagz? ๐Ÿค”

To celebrate this launch week, we're giving away the ultimate Wasp swag pack - all you need to do is follow the instructions in the tweet below! ๐Ÿ‘‡

Enough chit-chat - let's see what will go down next week! We'll present a new feature (or more of them) every day. To stay in the loop, follow us on Twitter/X (@WaspLang) and join our community on Wasp Discord!

As the tradition goes, we'll kick things off with a launch party on our Discord! You will be able to meet the team and be the first one to learn about the new features we'll be revealing for the rest of the week. We'll also answer community questions, discuss plans for the future, and of course, hand out some sweet swag (finally, get your hands on that Da Boi plushie)!

The party starts at 11 am EDT / 5 pm CET - sign up here and make sure to mark yourself as "interested"!

Monday: I am Speed ๐Ÿš„

We all know that developer productivity is a hot topic these days. At the end of the day, why waste time use many keystroke when few do trick?

That's exactly what we will feature on Monday! Wasp is already famous for its brevity and prototyping speed, which is powered by its high-level configuration language, but we found a way to make things even simpler!

When: Monday, October 16 2023

Tuesday: Safety first ๐Ÿ‘ท

safety

In every industry, they have strict safety protocols - we believe programming should be no different! Especially when it comes to types - imagine if you had a piece of data running around your application, without even knowing what it looks like!? No, sir, not under my watch โฌ‡๏ธโŒš๏ธ.

When: Tuesday, October 17 2023

Wednesday: Wasp x AI x ...base ๐Ÿค–โšก๏ธ

The best things happen when you combine multiple amazing things together - and that's exactly what we did! I don't want to spoil too much, but let's just say it has become much easier to do a certain similarity search with Wasp ๐Ÿ˜‰.

I don't want to overhype it, but it might be one of the coolest things you've seen so far - see you on Wednesday!

When: Wednesday, October 18 2023

Thursday: A glimpse into the future ๐Ÿ›ธ

Although there is plenty of work to refine the existing features and polish the overall developer experience, we still always have our eyes on the future and take time to experiment. This is what we will present here - a really cool feature that is possible due to the Wasp's unique approach, that will illuminate a lot of possibilities for the future!

When: Thursday, October 19 2023

Friday: Polish ๐Ÿ’…

Sometimes, the best thing you can do is take care of what you already have! As we mentioned in the intro, Wasp is becoming all about DX, feature completeness, and elegance of use. And this is what we will demonstrate today!

When: Friday, October 20 2023

Monday: SaaS-a-thon!

saasathon

As the ancient scrolls say, every launch week must end with a hackathon, and this is no exception! We'll share more details soon, but as the title says, we'll equip you as well as possible to create the SaaS of your dreams in no time!

When: Monday, October 23 2023

Hi! How much has Mage costed you over 22,669 apps? My basic app was $0.20, so how much would an average app cost? If it was the same price, which it is very doubtful that it is, it would be $4533.80. But how much was it actually? I am intrigued to know and find your tools very interesting!
