    Good to share. It's a helpful list. I also wanted to create a product saas for my site

    I would add WordPress to the list since ~40% of all websites are powered by it. And from my experience - there are plenty of plugins being used but are not even near perfect. And there are even more problems that are not solved at all yet.

    Good list. I believe no code / low code tools will rule this list in the next few years.

    I've built a low code app store called Neuman (https://neuman.so) where I work with marketers to build low code apps & split the revenue with them. I'm hoping to help creators build & ship micro & mini SaaS in weeks.

    Most people miss this kind of research on what niches are doing better and what interests them.

    We are solving this problem where people can see profitable niches to build profitable Micro SaaS products at Micro SaaS Ideas

    So far we covered close to 80 niches and built a community for Micro SaaS Builders at Micro SaaS HQ
