Oh my… I’ve been there so many times, myself. I had to laugh, as well… the laughter of one who knows the pain all too well, and is infinitely relieved that I wasn’t the one going through it. It really is awful, isn’t it? But such is the life. Thank you so much for building this. And thank you for sharing about the process.
So funny and painfully relatable. I ran into the exact same issue with my first Replit build, though my app was waaaay simpler than StackShelf. It was a little PDF tracker (kind of like WeTransfer but for documents, so you could see who opened it, when, if they downloaded it etc). And yup… authentication broke everything. Repeatedly :))
Would love if you shared that reusable prompt that saved the day.
Anyway, enough of my rant.
StackShelf looks awesome, can’t wait to finally have something to sell just so I can put it there haha. Cheering you on!
This is great Karo! Sorry to hear about the bugs but glad you were able to fix them! I've checked the app and it's so user-friendly. I was able to edit my shelf with ease. Thank you so much for building this!
I can so much relate to that :)) I know exactly how it feels. Thank you for making this reality, Karo! It's an amazing product and the community needs such
Karo, this is incredible! My days have been so packed, and I’d been meaning to carve out time to read your post and explore your app, and I’m so glad I finally did. It was absolutely worth it.
You’ve brought together such an inspiring group of builders and creators. I loved how you described each one, it’s such a unique touch. Also really appreciate your kind words on me!
And your building process… I couldn’t stop laughing while reading it. I’ve been through every single one of those complaints myself. Developing solely on Replit? You have my deepest respect.
The stumbles you faced, I totally resonate with them. And yet, you pulled through. Huge cheers to you!
Also, shout-out to your awesome tester, Kacper, his patience deserves a medal.
Thank you for creating this. And most of all, thank you for sharing it with us.
as non-coder willing to challenge myself while building a new mini-app a month with AI (I am at my 4th one already), I share so many of your bumps and ugly surprises. Thanks for making me feel less lonely in this journey.
You have done a fantastic job in getting so many great people to assist and support you. What an inspiring model for Substack entrepreneurs.
P.S.: Excited to read about Stackshelf... it does sound very interesting. But I must be blind... I can't find a link to it in this article.

Thank you for your support Yana!!
I had given up on Google oauth on my ask-bubba.com site I built with replit… maybe I’ll try it again after reading this.
@Shrivan I'll be sharing some tips this weekend, hopefully it'll help!
Looking forward to it!
Thanks for this.
Thank you for reading!

Hey Robin! Thank you so much! Here's the link: https://stackshelf.app/ Are you also documenting your journey? I'd love to read it!
Thank you Karo, much appreciated.
*Yes, I am documenting it but not nearly as well as you are doing.

Tomorrow I should release the next one.
Awesomeeeeeee! I subscribed! Will dig into your articles tonight. Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you Karo for such a warm welcome.
Please give me your critical advice and feedback!
P.S.: I just released my 4th mini-app: https://goodtools.substack.com/p/cape-canaveral
I will, definitely! On my to do!
Thank you for the shout out Karo! Do you know if the StackShelf link is workable and can be inserted in our Substack bio? 🙏🏻😊
Great question Jerry! I wasn't sure if it'll work in the bio section, but I just tested it and it can! So we have 2 options:
1. Add your shelf as one of the social links (you can see what it looks like on my profile )
and/or
2. Paste the link directly into the Substack bio.
I see! That's awesome 😎 I'll attempt option 1 right away...
Sounds interesting !
That was a really fun debugging session we had, I am amazed how it actually turned out!
I absolutely love my avatar and that you used my quote 😄
Heheh, that's the least I could do 😂
I feel your pain! But these also tend to be the most rewarding accomplishments to look back on!
Thank you Joel! And thank you for your support!
Thank you Joel 🤗
