And to add to that, as programmers I think we sometimes miss how inefficient most people’s workflows are. Ever watched a family member, friend, etc use a computer and you just want to pull out your hair? They are just used to it, “that’s how things are”. Even a simple tool can do wonders for someone’s workflow and can worth quite a bit to them even if you think it’s easy/obvious/just-use-X-tool. Heck, you can even solve “simple” problems for developers and they will pay to avoid having to implement it themselves. Take a thorny process, wrap it up in a clean api with a nice UI and you’re set. I pay for multiple dev tools that I could write if I wanted to put in the effort [0] but it’s not worth the effort to keep up with it and paying $XX makes the problem go away, I’m sold. [0] and I think we often underestimate what it would actually take to re-create a tool/SaaS. The core feature might be “easy” but all the other parts are what’s hard. Coding is rarely the hardest part of building a product IMHO.
