saasform VS exomind

Saasform: https://github.com/saasform/saasform

I had to prioritize another project (solokeys).

I still really believe both: 1) in an open source alternative to auth0, 2) in combining auth+payments for saas.

However, because they’re two problems, it’s probably best to focus on just one. For me trying to launch Saasform the issue has been to find and onboard customers quickly and at scale.

I also purchased Landkit, but eventually found it very heavy. I then essentially remade it on top of Fresh [1]. Code is here if anyone needs it [2].

If it's a web saas, we're building Saasform [1] with your use case in mind.

One relevant example is launching your MVP as a serverless API (e.g. on Firebase) + react/vue front end. Just iterate on your core product and features, we handle home page, registration and payments.

For mobile apps I'd recommend Expo [2] and, if you can, stay with their managed flow. If you want to iterate fast, you need to take into account the time to release to the stores and Expo can help with that. Similarly as for the web, I'd look into a serverless API model to start.

For email notifications I'd go with Sendgrid.

I personally never used no-code solutions but different people recommended Bubbles [3].

Starter kit to "transform your project into a SaaS", with auth+payments.

Saasform: shameless plug, this is my project, modern (at lease I hope), written in typescript

We are also doing something like that lol. It's a crowded field I see. Of course any cross contamination of PR is more than welcome :-)

I made this exercise to guide myself throught the process of starting from a list of features, summarizing benefits, prioritize them, sparkle some keywords and finally output a marketing page.

Working to make a marketing/public site for a micro-saas I was building, I realized there's plenty of articles about the structure of the landing page, sticky header, include quotes, etc. but there's little on how to actually write the content. I worked w/ different marketing professionals in the past and, though everyone has their own style/processes, the tldr is "talk about benefits, not features".

If you're making a marketing page, I hope you can find it useful too!

Please lmk if 1) the exercise makes sense to you, 2) the format is clear/unclear - what can be improved, 3) should I maybe write an accompanying blog post? other ideas?

For context, I expect to launch a number of micro-saas in the next months, so I wanted to build a repeatable process. I then plan to run all these sites out of config files like this [1].

Is your PDF reader open sourced? It's a feature I'd like to implement at some point in my own personal project (https://github.com/appaquet/exomind)

I just added a few screenshots in the README: https://github.com/appaquet/exomind

As for the Gmail integration, it is quite crude at the moment. I use it mostly to organize incoming emails, but I still use Gmail to send or reply to my emails. Exomind inbox is synchronized with Gmail, so all emails that you remove from one or the other get removed / archived on the other side. It also supports multiple accounts.

If you are interested to try and not afraid of the rough edges, just let me know. I added Discussions to the GitHub repository.

Exomind[1], a personal knowledge management tool that takes the form of a unified inbox in which you can have your emails, tasks, notes and bookmarks organized into collections. I have an iOS and a web/electron client at the moment. I plan to eventually add files (blobs), definitions and support extensibility via WASM applications.

Its backend (Exocore[2]) is built on top of a personal / private blockchain and is made from the ground up to be hosted in a semi-decentralized fashion on your own personal devices (your computer, raspberry pi, a cloud instance, etc.)

It has very rough edges, but I'm using it daily to organize my life. It has also been my learning playground to improve my Rust skills over the last two years. If all goes well, I'm a few months away from some kind of tech preview.
