Hey Dev Community ๐
I'm Ahmed, an engineering student and a front end developer.
Between lectures, exams, and the slow dorm Wi-Fi ๐
, Iโve always had this desire to build something of my own โ something that wasnโt just for practice, but actually useful and out in the world.
For months, Iโve been studying front-end development in small chunks of time โ usually at night or during weekends.
I learned HTML and CSS, then moved into JavaScript and started playing around with Next.js and Tailwind CSS.
The Problem:
I kept watching developers online launching templates and tools, and I thought:
โWhy not me?โ
The only thing stopping me was overthinking:
- โWhat if itโs not perfect?โ
- โWhat if no one buys it?โ
- โWhat if I can't finish it?โ
But I decided to stop worrying and just build the simplest thing I could that still had value.
The One-Week Challenge:
I challenged myself to finish a clean SaaS landing page template in one week .
The result is:
๐ GreenWave โ a modern, dark-themed, glassmorphism SaaS landing page
๐งฑ Built With:
- Next.js 15 (App Router)
- Tailwind CSS v4
- Minimal animation
- Mobile-first responsive design
- ~1MB final product size
I tried to keep it developer-friendly and visually modern.
๐ The Launch:
I published it on:
- ๐ฅ๏ธ Live demo: see it in the description of Gumraod ๐
- ๐ Gumroad: https://codecraft071.gumroad.com/l/greenwave-template
It's my first ever digital product โ and my goal isnโt to get rich off it.
It's to start. To finish something. To share it.
๐ฃ๏ธ Iโd Really Appreciate Your Feedback:
- What do you think of the design?
- Does the structure make sense for other devs?
- What would you change or improve?
- Would you use a template like this for your own SaaS/app?
This is just the first step in my journey.
I plan to keep building, learning, launchingโฆ and hopefully turning these projects into real income streams someday.
Thanks for reading ๐
And if youโve ever hesitated to start your first project โ I get it. But honestly, just go for it. Ship it raw and improve it later.
Let me know what you think!
