In under 10 words, explain the problem your product/side-project solves?

Joe here, from Budibase.

Building a product with lots of features is awesome, but that product must solve a problem to be successful (IMO).

It would be great to hear how the IH community are solving problems around the world.

We're all doing great

      What problem are you solving? 😀

      1. 2

        Saving time, resource & cost of hiring a full-time designer.

        The most common problem of finding the right designer to find each time a good designer for every design task. Some designers are good with branding, some are good with illustrations, some are good with UI, etc. At Draftss we have a combination of designers who work as a team to get everything rightly done.

        Thanks! Lithuanian is just a start. We started with it because it's a tight niche to conquer and low enough risk to experiment. We plan to cover other languages, of course, depending on the demand.

        This pack of HTML email templates is a starting point for those who want to save some time.

      Straight to the point - is pricing the best strategy though?
