Hi everyone! I'm Jan, joining you from Germany. As a freelance web designer / ux ui designer, I'm drawn to the world of SaaS and excited by the potential of low-code tools. I specialize in using platforms like Webflow, Bubble, and Softr to craft engaging web experiences. I'm here to learn from this knowledgeable community (finally bring all the figma prototypes to production) and share insights from my journey into web app development with a UX perspective. Cheers!

I'll begin

As a quick example I made a "Xano Lambda Function" button that sits inside Claude and helps me write lambas. This is just a quick example of the tool and isn't optimized in any way. Just wanted to show how sweet it is to build custom buttons in Claude that help you with prompting. https://www.loom.com/share/3482465f825b4b3891bfaf195bb5222e?sid=598ac973-f1a7-42bc-b476-724c563fb59e

When you joined this group, the goal for many of you was to build and launch your own SaaS product. I share that same ambition, but speaking with you in the weekly calls has lead me to a realization. My success in SaaS wasn't found in creating my own product; but by creating the products and services that clients desire. A Shift in Our Journey Together: We're now embracing a slightly different, yet very powerful path - building a high-ticket development agency, mastering client acquisition, project management, and providing top-notch technical consulting. Why This Matters My own success has stemmed not from launching individual SaaS products, but from building custom solutions for clients and diving deep into technical consulting. This is where I, and many other successful agencies, have struck gold. Selling the Shovel In this era of a SaaS 'gold rush,' while many chase the dream of creating the next big SaaS, agencies have found success in providing the development – the 'shovel.' In any gold rush, those supplying the tools often reap the greatest rewards. Introducing a SaaS Agency Guide To complement our new direction, I'm developing a live, evolving SaaS Agency guide. This resource will grow in real-time, capturing the latest insights from our experiences. It's not just a guide; it's a shared journey of discovery and growth. What This Means for You Our guide will dive into this philosophy, teaching you how to be the indispensable provider in this tech era. We'll cover everything from client acquisition to high-value technical consulting – the skills that make you indispensable in the tech gold rush. Building for Today, Preparing for Tomorrow While our current focus is on client-based project delivery and consulting, the foundational skills you'll acquire here lay the groundwork for any future tech endeavors, including launching your own SaaS. Your Role in Shaping Our Guide Your engagement, feedback, and perspectives are crucial. This guide is a collaborative creation, shaped by our collective insights and experiences.

Hi all, I'm Solomon Good to be here! I've been mainly a marketer during my career but formal education in tech. Main marketing gig right now is in tech too. Have experience building websites in webflow for clients. But as I've been looking to transition and start building my SaaS idea for awhile, never knew there was a whole community of webflow users building webapps—sounds awesome. Hoping to learn from others here and share my learnings with others as well.
