The Problem: The âFirst Weekendâ Trap
Weâve all been there.
You have a great idea for a side project on a Friday night. Youâre pumped. You open your terminal:
npx create-next-app@latest my-awesome-idea
Then the questions start:
TypeScript? (Yes)
ESLint? (Yes)
Tailwind CSS? (Yes)
App Router? (Yes)
Two hours later, youâre still:
configuring Shadcn UI components
fighting with auth providers
setting up your database schema
trying to remember how you like to structure your API routes
You still havenât written a single line of code for your actual idea.
By Sunday night, youâre exhausted and sitting on a half-configured repo youâll probably never touch again.
Thatâs the âFirst Weekendâ trap, and it kills more side projects than anything else.
The Idea: What if you could just prompt it?
I built Synoppy because I was sick of this cycle.
Most AI coding tools today (Copilot, Cursor, etc.) are amazing at auto-completing functions or writing small snippetsâŚ
âŚbut they donât own the whole project. You still have to glue everything together.
Synoppy is different. Itâs an AI agent that behaves like a junior full-stack developer.
You give it a high-level prompt, and it scaffolds a complete, running application.
Instead of writing config files, you write something like:
âBuild a landing page for a SaaS that sells coffee subscriptions.
It needs a pricing section with 3 tiers, a testimonial grid, an FAQ accordion, and a footer.
Use a modern, dark theme with orange accents.â
In about ~60 seconds, Synoppy spins up a live sandbox with:
â A Next.js 14 (App Router) project structure
â Shadcn UI installed and wired up
â Tailwind CSS classes applied for the dark/orange theme
â Clean, component-based code you can actually read and edit
It doesnât just give you code blocks to copy-paste.
It gives you a running app.
Iteration Is King
The first prompt is rarely perfect, so Synoppy is built around iteration.
Once the initial app is generated, you keep talking to it:
âChange the hero headline to something punchier.â
âAdd a Sign up button in the navbar that links to /signup.â
âMake the pricing cards pop more on hover.â
Synoppy remembers the context of your project and edits it intelligently instead of dumping new code every time.
You stay in âproduct thinkingâ mode instead of âwhere did I put that component?â mode.
Free Plan: More Room to Play
Even if youâre not ready to pay, I still want builders to be able to experiment properly.
During launch + Black Friday, the Free plan now includes 20 credits (up from 10), so you can push more ideas all the way into running sandboxes before you ever upgrade.
Launch Week + Black Friday = A Pretty Wild Deal đ¤Ż
We literally just launched Synoppy last week.
Weâre brand new â and I want to see what devs, indie hackers, and builders actually ship when they donât get stuck in boilerplate hell.
So for Black Friday week, weâre doing something a bit aggressive:
đ¤ 50% OFF all Synoppy Plus plans
Example for the Plus 100 yearly plan:
Was: $228 / year
Now: $114 / year
Thatâs about $9.50 / month
If youâd rather just test the waters:
Plus 100 monthly is $11.50 for the first month with the discount.
Basically: if Synoppy saves you even one âlostâ weekend of config, itâs already paid for itself.
You can grab the deal here:
đ synoppy.com
â discount is auto-applied, or use code BLACKFRIDAY at checkout.
Iâll Be in the Comments
Iâm hanging out in the comments today:
Ask me how it works under the hood
Tell me what kind of apps youâd try to build
Or just roast my landing page, pricing, or UX â I can take it đ
If this resonates with you, Iâd love to see what you end up building.
Happy shipping. đ ď¸
