Nice work. I've been exploring an idea in the same space with a very different angle.
You need other, non-technical users at a company to use this type of tool for it to be useful and it's really tough to get a team to adopt a new tool. My solution? Build it on top of something they're already using: Google Sheets.
Not ready for a formal launch, but would love to chat with anyone that wants to try it out: https://www.wax.run/ https://www.wax.run/
- iamstupidsimple 5y agoInteresting idea, though I am somewhat skeptical on the business model. Users building something that complex over spreadsheets are probably the "shadow IT" types, so how does one get their company to pay for this without getting roadblocked?
- mritchie712 5y agoThey'd be shadow IT at a larger company, but it's not as frowned upon at smaller companies. They're generally more concerned with getting shit done than doing it "the right way". It's at a price point most people at a startup can put it on their corporate card without question. But yes, it's tough to get a fortune 500 to go for something like this.
