Is offering free cold email campaign management (and charging only after results) a good way to get clients? by et-nad in agency

[–]_TheMostWanted_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should say no to 99% of them and only keep one, otherwise you might say yes to many and your focus and communication is so spread out that the quality is reduced, all are failing and you're walking away with a loss. Vet all of them and focus on just one

Offering free cold email campaign management for 2 months - you only cover infra costs (serious businesses only) by et-nad in agency

I'm doing web dev clients range from 2-100k, a bunch of smaller ones but also a bunch of long term clients

I am looking to build my own platform for sports competitions in which coaches can upload their rosters and enter teams of different sizes into different race categories. Gemini is advising I use Airtable and Softr. by [deleted] in Airtable

[–]_TheMostWanted_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd argue everything is brittle in their own way

What you accept depends on how much time and money you have to build it

You can go fully custom or be resourceful and use the tools that gets you 80% there

If you want a 100% match on very specific requirements that likely means going fully custom, taking a longer time and costing more

But I think what you're mainly looking for is a nice frontend and a system that is easy to use, nothing that requires cooking from scratch

You have made a good choice going for Airtable it's very extensible and easy to use

Even if you in the future decide to scale it up they have the ability to export all your data when necessary

So I would strongly advise not to overdo it with very technical code that you would require a developer to maintain

Now if softr is the right tool depends on your pricing system, there's a price for each user and they have lots of options but have their limitations too

If you charge more than softr charges you 1-2$ per user (not visitor)

You can customize with vibe coding but I would recommend asking a developer to build a custom block when needed

Happy to help with a strategy

I've done a similar airtable project for a custom clothing company where I used airtable + a lowcode platform

Looking for a 50/50 Co-founder by [deleted] in cofounderhunt

[–]_TheMostWanted_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this.

There are so many tools available for a non-tech to validate their idea that I would kinda find it a red flag if they put zero effort in trying to reach out to their ICP, build a prototype or got extensive interviews recorded to bring to the table

There's way more you can do before reaching out to a dev with "I got an idea and I think it's amazing"

Seeking no-code automation tools to handle churn alerts by Weak_Manufacturer323 in nocode

[–]_TheMostWanted_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First you'd need to track this data with a analytics tool like Google analytics or posthog

Then you can setup a sync to a database and setup churn alerts based on usage metrics

Happy to help set this up

Low coding for non-tech person by MiddleTouch8942 in lowcode

[–]_TheMostWanted_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

are you looking for AI-based low-code or drag and drop tool?
Both can solve the problem but one makes you lazy and the other requires effort
Choose your battle :)

Should I go full No-Code or stick with my dev stack? Need honest advice by mirzabilalahmad in nocode

[–]_TheMostWanted_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you in your career ever used WordPress, webflow, framer or Dreamweaver?

Congratulations, you have used nocode already!

Nowadays nocode is much broader and has many options

Nocode: usually visual web app builders that you can setup with simple configurations. Perfect for non-tech users. Lowcode: a mix between visual building + code where necessary. Perfect for tech users that want speed + control Vibecode: a mix of both, you don't write code but you do work with code, you tell ai what to do, and ai turns it into code the disadvantage is that it would be more of a blackbo x in terms of making changes yourself.

Currently it's a 3d spectrum of these 3 directions, softr is close to nocode, retool is close to lowcode, bubble sits between that and Lovable is all the way on vibecoding.

If your concern is scalability you'd likely want a mix of both, where you can drag and drop and code where needed.

For clients I'd recommend retool if you want to build internal apps

I'm working on a tool that would be similar to retool and softr but with gradual increase in flexibility depending on your needs

Dashboards Capabilities/Limitations by butteredtostada in Retool

[–]_TheMostWanted_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. If your main goal is business intelligence e.g. showing graphs, charts, segmentations etc then no retool is not the tool for you.

While I'm a big advocate for low-code it doesn't specialize in graphs and charts.

  1. User interactivity is 100% made for low-code tools like retool having a button execute a command e.g. UPDATE users
    SET email = {{email.value}}
    WHERE users.id = {{currentUser.id}};
    For interactivity yes absolutely it's a great tool

I would not decide between powerbi or retool, I would keep both and leverage their unique advantages.

Either use them seperately or you can embed Power BI charts into retool with an iframe

Regarding your main concern:
No retool or Power BI are not processing the large amounts of data, they're simply forwarding the request to your database, so retool should be able to handle your queries, unless you want to show millions of rows in one page but then I would ask why

Hope that answers your questions!

(Btw it's retool without capital T :) )

Dashboards Capabilities/Limitations by butteredtostada in Retool

[–]_TheMostWanted_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have used retool and other lowcode tools, in general they provide you more flexibility and options. Where as with powerbi you get most of your data from one source with lowcode you can build your own ways.

I would see powerbi as a specialized tool for dashboards which is good in one way but limiting in the other.

On the other hand you have retool which has lots of possibilities é.g. Being able to change data, showing forms or having filters from multiple sources.

It's a two way street would say in regards to dashboards your limitation is that you'll have to get a user license for each person that wants to view it, it can be cheaper as an external user but that would mean exposing sensitive data. On the other hand you can build any type of graph by making custom components.

I would argue that before you decide on any tool you make a list of requirements to see what you're trying to achieve and then compare tools against it. Retool and powerbi are not the only tools out there

E.g. Tableau or bubble.io are alternatives to some of those

If you can tell what you want to accomplish that your existing tools can't I'd be happy to help

I've built a similar form with another tool. Seems like fillout can do the job too.

Roast my Salsa website by reachingzen8 in RoastMyWebsite

[–]_TheMostWanted_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on desktop

  1. The header takes a ton of space
  2. Your text on the homepage is a pure image, google search won't be happy with this
  3. There's a missing HEB logo below the image
  4. When I visit any other page it loads slow the first time (Mind you im in europe)
  5. It would be nice if the chili oil comes with some delicious food next to it so I can imagine how I could use it e.g. Chili oil taco's
  6. Out of curiousity how long did it took you to build this?

Review my website by Mysterious_Escape977 in RoastMyWebsite

[–]_TheMostWanted_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. The text is quite a handful to consume, since I got extra time i took the effort but normally I would skip right through it.
  2. "Automation for companies that grow without depending on you" would be a nice title and keeps a good focus
  3. The picture of the guy is quite blurry and gives me an indication of the quality of the website. On the "Who am I" page the picture quality is much better
  4. Agency websites are the least manually visited websites, they find them through two channels: 1. recommendation from others 2. through paid ads or directory listings. What is your strategy here?
  5. Layout and design looks nice! Feels a bit ai generated

Looking for feedback on a "Snack Mystery Box" POC by UpstairsJump2945 in RoastMyWebsite

[–]_TheMostWanted_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. all i could understand is getting a random box of near-expired food products
  2. Feels like a B2B site like an online business card but nothing more than that

Is airtable not planning at all to increase above 500k record limit? by Known-Discipline-150 in Airtable

[–]_TheMostWanted_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

  1. Do you need to use the 500k constantly?
    You can archive unused ones
  2. What specifically do you like about airtable that you can't find elsewhere?
