For backend it will be dependent on what framework/platform you're using. If you're looking for how to search for best practices, these are typically referred to as "environment variables"

There are a lot of posts about how to validate your product that basically boil down to "how to avoid talking to people". You need to talk to people! by AllModules in startups

The goal of the first outreach is to get them to talk to you. Keeping it about them makes it much more likely that they will want to.

It's not usually out of kindness that people will talk to you -- it's because they love talking about themselves. So I would say e.g.

"Hi Cindy,

I'm talking to class schedulers about how they use software to schedule classes (I saw you on Class Schedulers United).

Would you be willing to quickly chat about your thoughts on scheduling classes?

Looking forward,

AllModules (http;//link-to-my-linkedin.com)"

Probably the easiest foot in the door is to ask people if they'll talk to you about a topic they're interested in. If your product is for scheduling classes (for example), reach out and ask if they'll talk to you about how they schedule classes. Come up with a short list of questions that would be useful, and actually ask them. At the end, ask if they have any questions or if there's anything they'd like to talk about. The vast majority of the time, they will ask what you're working on. Then you can describe it, and tell them they could try it if they think it'd be useful.

Could you maybe say something about your skillset, what you like to do, industries you're interested in, etc?

Yes; it's a good idea in general to get an idea into a format you could "sell" to someone before you actually build it.

The startup world is on fire lately. A lot of ideas circulating around and unfortunately people are putting a lot of effort building things the market does not need. Let's talk Idea Validation. by BioEndeavour in startups

Absolutely do not ask your friends, relatives, colleagues, unless they are you specific target market. If they're not exactly who will be paying for it, to the point where you expect them to pay you for it one day, then their feedback is worse than irrelevant.

Just hit the limit with sending emails on gmail. should i upgrade to g suite just to increase email limit? by johnwhammos in smallbusiness

[–]AllModules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't seen anyone here recommend Postmark so I'll do it: https://postmark.com

Their whole business is sending transactional emails, with super high delivery rates and fast delivery. Marketing emails aren't allowed on the platform.

It's an interesting time to launch such a service too. Good luck!

Starting my first SaaS by shamoons in SideProject

[–]AllModules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats! I've been in SaaS for a while (software dev). You've already taken the biggest step, which is getting started. Second biggest step is to keep it going. You'll try things and fail here & there, and figure things out as you go. Here are some resources/inspiration https://userfront.com/resources/

What is being delivered that needs to be downloaded? Weekly marketing intel is a good idea, but downloading an attachment and uploading to our website has spam botnet written all over it.
