awesome, i am happy that our tool will help you a little ;-)

thanks for an interesting observation with the back button, we will take a look at it.

i think there are still no flights to/from ukraine because of the war.

i was hesitating to answer because i did not know what was the product - now i know.

it looks like a niche product for developer community. what i would try:

* write content around how to create web form in different language + add to each article reason why they should use your saas instead

* create a youtube video that would show how to use the product, focus on researched keywords, e.g. how to make a secured web form

* join slack and facebook group communities

* try to promote your tool on producthunt, not because of the sales - but to gather the feedback

* there are many great products out there and some of them have better product market fit + marketing = what i want to say it is more like a marathon than a sprint

good luck!

My side project is Kingpin browser: https://kingpinbrowser.com/

It is private browser for Mac and Windows. Paid for Mac users and Free for Win (Win version still has some bugs)

1) do the proper research, there are plenty of articles talking about saas side project ideas, like this one https://www.blocshop.io/blog/15-saas-ideas/

2) check producthunt monthly winners, those are the apps that won during the voting https://www.producthunt.com/time-travel/2021/5

Congrats! You have made something of value that people appreciate. Getting the first paid user is usually the hardest.

I would not sell the project at this stage as you would sell it for not a big value. You would need a couple more paying users to prove your concept.

Once you have a few hundred paying users, you would see interesting data. Like how many months they keep paying? How many of them churn? How much can I afford to pay for acquiring a paying user?

I am one of the makers of https://www.gleek.io What diagram do you need to create, ERD? If yes, we have those.

However, the app cannot do drill down yet (and don't know what app can do it).

i would not call cryptocurrencies investing. and i would not recommend it to someone who is just starting / as the question suggest.

yes, it requires a change in the mindset. we were also fighting with it at the beginning. but i work in a small company, cca 30 people, i guess it would be harder in a big company.

I believe asynchronous communication is the key for remote work. It is super-hard to learn and requires a trust, however, I find it the most efficient style of work. Of course there will still be some regular meetings / synchronous communication, but more asynchronous you can do more focus time remains.

I use mostly Entity-Relationship for designing a database, and UML Class diagrams.

Personally I prefer typing to drag-and-drop so I use https://www.gleek.io/

Check templates and turials, or ask me if you like to know more ;-)

We are makers of gleek.io diagram maker https://www.gleek.io/ and we use this tool internally as well.

When I create diagrams I prefer typing than drag-and-dropping and gleek.io is pretty fast.

You can check the diagram examples:

* Basic shapes https://app.gleek.io/diagrams/basic

* ERD crows foot https://app.gleek.io/diagrams/erdiagram

* UML class diagrams https://app.gleek.io/diagrams/class

* UML sequence diagrams https://app.gleek.io/diagrams/sequence

Recently we made also video tutorials, hopefully it helps when you are learning to work with a tool:

that is a great feedback, the tool is not for everyone. out of curiosity, are you a developer?
