my crm mvp

As a software developer, one is constantly dealing with new technologies that need to be learned and applied. However, it can sometimes be difficult to find the right tools that meet all requirements and simplify project management. Even as an experienced developer, I have often had to deal with this problem.

Over the years, I have tried all common tools and platforms available on the market. But every time, I encountered limitations and missing features that I absolutely needed. My projects became more complex and extensive, and I needed a better way to keep track of everything.

Therefore, I decided to switch to no-code tools to quickly and easily create an MVP that would help me solve my problem. I had a clear idea of how the tool should look and function. But despite my best efforts, I repeatedly failed to create an MVP with the various no-code tools. I lacked the options to design the MVP the way I had envisioned.

Discouraged, I gave up for the time being and wondered if I really needed such a tool or if there might be an easier way to complete my tasks. But as I continued to struggle with the challenges of project management, I finally decided to make one last attempt.

This time, I wanted to do things differently. I decided to create an MVP with my preferred tools and also learn a few new tools that I had never used before. So I started building an MVP with Next.js, Prisma, trpc, and Tailwind.

And lo and behold - I actually made progress very quickly! Working on the MVP was fun again, and I was able to implement all of my creative ideas. With Next.js as a framework, Prisma as a database ORM, and trpc as my API, I had exactly the tools I needed. Tailwind helped me design the MVP quickly and easily.

Working on the MVP showed me that sometimes you have to be a little creative and also take new paths to find a solution to a problem. I am very satisfied with the result and will report more on it in the coming days and weeks. I would also be happy if enough people would like to test the MVP to give me feedback and see how they like it.

Overall, I am convinced that as a developer, one should always be open to new ideas and technologies to be successful in the future. With my new MVP, I now have a tool that will help me manage my projects better and provide my clients with better service. And who knows, maybe in the future I can also help other developers by sharing my experiences and tips.
