| These aren't my projects, but inspiration I've found around the web and started keeping track of recently. https://indielurker.com/#8dff6575218049a78b6b86e977c8d66b Some of my favorites: - Nomad List started as a Google Sheet. - Product Hunt began as a simple list emailed out to people. - Levels.fyi was powered by a Google Sheet until 2021. - Crave Cookies was making $200k/mon according to their interview using a SQlite DB which started as a JSON file. - Headlime started as a JSON file sitting on his frontend with no DB - then sold for $60k a week later Tools I personally am exploring: - DB: Google Sheets - either through API (numerous services like sheet.best for this or self-hosted) - DB: Airtable - it provides API out of the box and has forms and whatnot too, keeps things real quick to start - Whole Shebang: have only built toy examples, but Glideapps and Softr seem like handy options to spin an idea up really quickly and not getting distracted by tech rabbit holes |
