Gatsby Days Video: Using Gatsby to Launch Your Side Hustle for Free

Gatsby Days, initially planned as a live virtual event, was transformed into a video content series to maintain focus on the Black Lives Matter movement while still sharing valuable knowledge from scheduled speakers. The series features presentations like that of Makenna Smutz, COO of Meeshkan, who utilized Gatsby to launch an online apparel shop called "Just Be Freaking Kind" at no cost, integrating services such as Printful, GraphCMS, Stripe, and SendGrid. Makenna's presentation covers the selection of a tech stack for e-commerce, leveraging tools like Netlify for serverless functions, Stripe's pay-once-you-earn model, and Chakra UI for consistent website design. The Gatsby team plans to hold another event in October, with details to follow on Twitter.
