I launched my 24th startup (SaaS)
I was frustrated with the feedback collection SaaS... So I built mine.
Introducing Insighto - A free (and super-duper-simple) tool to collect customer feedback and ship features your users (really) want.
In this video, I'll share everything from getting the idea, building fast, and launching a micro startup.

    Thanks Mark. I am working on 2 SaaS products where one is directly inspired by you. Have full time job so may take ~4 months to build.

    Thanks always for your videos Marc! You have inspired me to learn React which I have been wanting to learn for a while but have been putting off. I started posting study session content while I learn React to hold myself accountable and I have been getting feedback that the videos have helped some people to stay focused and productive together too which is a big plus. ☺

    The hardest part for me is providing an intuitive frictionless UI. I always go super over the top with multiple pages that dont need to exist. So now im just tearing down a bunch of UI and putting them on the dashboard on a single screen. I probably wasted 2-3 weeks of dev time working on pointless components + styling & design. Meanwhile my backend logic & infrastructure took less than that. Anyone have any good actual UI "templates", I see a lot of them for generic dashboards, but not for more nuanced things like file uploads followed by text inputs in multistep forms.

    Thanks for the reminder to just build simple products to ship fast; I needed it. I so easily get sucked into bigger ideas with more and more features. I build fast, but never ship. Time for that to change.

    Niche based software courses are solid. I think the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet girl was the first time I’d heard about this. Didn’t realize someone else was crushing it with notion. Really goes to show that there’s more than one way to become successful.

    I like you and your tipps you give. Also I like shipfast and bought it. What I dont like is that there is no support on shipfast and I had to build myself a own saas template because its not working for some cases. This is pretty bad and I'm feeling scammed a little for buying a not functional product...

    Very interesting Marc ! Personnaly, I usually get my ideas when reading a book, or when I do nothing. But here is the thing. I get new ideas only when I take action. When I wasn't programming, i didn't get ideas and felt very bad. So guys, as Marc mentionned in the video, how can you start (because to take action you have to have an idea) ? Ask yourself what do you like, and start a project about it. Try to make it a SaaS or not, but start by something that is genuinely interesting to you.

    Hello. Great work. Just discovered your channel. The Shipfast is talking to developers but the demo seem to me I can use it if I get a step by step guide. I am not a developer but I know some HTML, CSS, Python, and Java. I can read and understand basic codes. Just a little to feel like a coder :) Do you have a guide for someone like me. I surely want to shipfast too. All the products you have are SaaS. Does it work for startup offering services? Thanks for your great work for the community.
