💡 What It Is
A Micro SaaS (small, hyper-focused software-as-a-service) business that solves one specific problem for a very specific niche — for example:
- Appointment software for mobile pet groomers
- Booking tracker for local tour guides
- Inventory tool for handmade sellers
- Job scheduler for small landscaping crews
You either build it yourself using no-code tools like Bubble, Glide, or Softr, or partner with a developer to launch it quickly.
