Ideate a Narrow Problem
Pick one workflow that is painful for a specific type of user. Avoid broad categories. Specificity is your competitive advantage as a solo builder.
Build With No-Code
Choose the platform that fits your data model. Bubble for complex logic, Glide for mobile from spreadsheets, Softr for portals on top of Airtable.
Launch and Monetize
Use Stripe or Lemon Squeezy for subscriptions. Start with a waitlist, then a small founding member price before going to full pricing.
