You’ve got a great product idea, now what? Going from the scratchpad to a finalized product isn’t a self-explanatory process. Luckily, makers are constantly developing tools to help other makers develop and launch their products:
Ross Chaldecott (ex-Atlassian, Campaign Monitor, Shopify) and his co-founders (also from Campaign Monitor) felt that launching new software products was a complicated process with many barriers to entry. In hopes of making the SaaS building space more accessible, they built Kinde—a development infrastructure for software teams. The goal is to get “SaaS products to market faster with all of the building blocks software teams need in one place.” Kinde is equipped with user management tools, feature flags, monetization tools, and the ability to acquire users with passwordless authentication, all on one dashboard. The all-in-one platform can help makers building SaaS products save time on building infrastructure so they can focus on the core offering of their product.
FlutterFlow 3.0, a no-code Golden Kitty winner, is back with more features to help makers launch cross-platform apps too. The makers introduced a marketplace of plugins and templates (like Google Maps, Stripe, and Algolia) and the ability to build and deploy web apps. Makers can also use FlutterFlow to quickly translate their app into 100+ languages, collaborate in real time with their project team, add custom code, generate code with Codex by OpenAI, and more.
In the post-launch stage? Ignition launched a changelog tool to help makers collect customer feature requests, allow customers and teammates to vote, discuss, and prioritize feature requests, and more.
Now is a great time to be a maker. If you try these out for your product toolkit, make sure to leave feedback for the makers and let them know what you want to see.
