#74 - Slick website builders, Insights and money going to underrepresented founders
This weeks battle with data analysis and struggling to do some configurations in command line has made it a great week.
Real artists ship
Despite this, I know that most of us who want to build great products only have to get that sweet spot of being technical enough for it to make all the difference.
In this weeks newsletter I share some tools real ’makers’ are using.
Prototyping
User Testing & Feedback session
Cool example of a Founder inviting user testing and feedback
Looking forward to attending this session
Insights
Heap
Heap flips the “must define everything upfront”, or sorry, you get no data, to “capture everything amd organize it later”
Makers
Carrd - Free, fully responsive one-page sites
A really simple website builder for those who don’t want to spend months building shit
Airtable
If you ain’t got database or SQL skills. Get involved in Airtable which is great if you want a database that lives in the cloud without all the usual necessary configuration.
If you need slick stuff checkout the other integrations they do such as Zapier
