Help needed: Product design

Hey IHs,

I'm building DoTenX a platform with two main goals:

  • Building no/low-code automations
  • Building no/low-code SaaS/applications

The first part is very simple, it's just an alternative for Zapier, but 100x cheaper and it's community based, meaning soon there will be a marketplace and you can offer Tasks and Triggers to others.

The 2nd part is where I have a question. With DoTenX as the engine, I want to give the option to use Automations/Workflows as the backend of your application (happy to explain in more details).

The question I have is whether I should offer it as a headless no-code application builder (you add the UI with React, Vue, etc, or even Webflow) or should I start with a drag & drop UI builder?

Any feedback is appreciated.

    Drag/Drop UI builder will take some time to build, I'd recommend going with a headless version, and try to validate the market first.

      Thanks for the suggestion, I missed your message as I was busy working on the UI builder :)
      You're right, it was difficult, but we managed to pull it together. Feel free to take a look (https://dotenx.com).

        I appreciate the effort, I hope you get sales on it quickly.
