Haha, I'm working on my second SaaS for one person :)<p>The first is drfreezr.com , something I built for a friend who manages a bioresearch lab and had trouble enforcing diligent bookkeeping about what samples are stored where in what freezers.<p>He and his lab colleagues are very happy with it, and they use it on a daily basis. But now I have to start marketing it. So the typical thing I do is optimize the code/UX/data model instead of finding more customers.<p>And now I'm working on a small-scale CRM for my wife (prototype phase) and her colleague who's she's started a consulting business with :)
I'm really really amazed how creative and productive someone can be. Meanwhile I can't even find one ideas. It doesn't help that I'm not an app user. I keep my digital stuff minimal.
I appreciate people like you, who see a need that someone has, and takes the initiative to help them.<p>The project matters, but less so. Being a person who is willing to help others is what makes the world go round.<p>I have no need for BI software myself, but I appreciate the fire you have inside of you and wish you good luck if you take this further.
tl;dr: I built a glorified spreadsheet app called Bicycle (<a href="https://usebicycle.com" rel="nofollow">https://usebicycle.com</a>) in seven days. Now I'm refining it for one user's needs based on principles from Do Things That Don't Scale by Paul Graham and the 1000 True Fans theory.<p>Also, working 90hrs in a week is draining.
This looks great, but just wondering if you have looked at something like Airtable (<a href="https://airtable.com/" rel="nofollow">https://airtable.com/</a>) to solve this? I had a couple custom tools that were similar, but I've been able to replace them w/ Airtable and it has been nice to not maintain those anymore.
This is awesome! I'm working on a very similar mission. When do you plan on monetizing the product?<p>Also, a bit off topic but how much time do you allocate for your blog?
