Firebase auth is the best. I have used it in both my SaaS websites [Simple Ops](https://simpleops.io/) and [Visa List](https://visalist.io/). For NuxtJS there is even a module of firebase which makes it pretty easy along with firebaseui library.
Question:
How do you normally add user authentication to your Saas project?

It could be that people don't need your product right now or its not appealing in the current form. Try talking to people personally and see what they think, based on their feedback, try to change things and launch again.

It's more of what i wanted build than how to learn to code. I would suggest try to figure out what you want to build , break it down into smaller pieces, try to see how you can build those small pieces and which tech stack best suits you, you then start to build those pieces. In the end you combine them and you have a product ready.
Question:
How did you learn to code? Let me know some good references for programming beginners.

Usually one in every two months. It's easy to get ideas to solve a problem but every idea will not make a profitable business which is important atleast in the beginning. I do have multiple ideas but if it's not profitable i park it aside and move to the next one.
Question:
How many ideas do you validate in a month? I usually come up with 2~4 ideas and validate it just 1 because of time lack.

I suggest you go solopreneur. You have the freedom to build anything that you like at your own pace. Also you have so many platforms and different means to market your products. You can easily learn those skills. Why choose one when you can be both.
Question:
As a software developer, should I go solopreneur or find a marketer to build a product?

Organic search, that's the most reliable and long-term source of users who actually need to use your product. There are other ways like social media, paid marketing, ads etc but they are for short-term only. Always concentrate on SEO or ASO.
