I'll roast & toast your SAAS product for Free

The offer: Send me a demo or access to your SAAS and I’ll go through and call out UX problems and on Markup, for free. I’ll onboard, go through initial tasks, and poke around for 5 - 10 minutes.

Here’s a sample teardown →

Who I am: My name is Dakota. I'm a Product Designer with 5 years of experience. I've worked on 50+ SAAS products within that time frame, whether 0 → 1 or just consulting.

And the why: I’m currently launching a productized UX design service specifically for SAAS companies. I'm offering these tear-downs to give as much value as I can before starting to pitch my services. I'd love to build relationships and connections with the many SAAS founders in this community, and potentially work together if it makes sense.

Looking forward to seeing your product and giving you some ideas for design improvement, thanks!

    That's awesome, Dakota, thanks for doing this! I built customerping.ai and it has a free trial, so feel free to roast it!

    Awesome work, Dakota! I'm loving your idea and the feedback you've given to others. I've launched a minimal SaaS: https://ihgam.net

    Your productized service might come in handy for future projects. Keep up the great work and thanks for the roast in advance!

        Your feedback is invaluable! I will get on implementing the changes as soon as possible! And I might have a question or two then, so I'll gladly take you up on this.

        And also thanks for joining, let's see where this goes!

    Hey Dakota what a great idea! I would love some feedback on a design & marketing as a subscription site currently in development, https://hypehustle.uk

    There are some really obvious changes required and some things are just placeholder but your expert opinion would be invaluable and would really help to shape things before launch. Thanks in advance

    Hey! I'm excited to see what you can describe about https://handlespot.pro
    I won't describe what it is, you should undestand it right away.

    Waiting for your roast and suggestions. :)

    I've always loved the idea of a "secret shopper" for saas. It's really a review of the sales and onboarding process, rather than the product itself. Love what you're doing here and keep going.

      Cheers man I appreciate that! Truth be told I'd rather be honest saying I want to provide value and build relationships for the future rather than beat around the bush. Better for everyone that way, so that's exactly what I'm doing.

    Hey Dakota - product is called Keenforms. It's a form builder with a no code rules engine. It has what we like to call "spreadsheet magic". It has more powerful conditions that your average form builder, it allows for complex multistep calculations. Its a form builder on steroids.

    Looking forward to getting roasted.

    Hey Dakota, I would appreciate some input on Cater Buddy. It is currently only available in German, I think the browsers translation should work well, but obviously not perfect.
    So if you want I would love to get some feedback, you can just create an account and get started at https://app.cater-buddy.com
