Initial impressions on my new product Sapling's site?
Hey everyone! I just launched a new product called Sapling, which helps developers save a bunch of time starting a new project by generating a full stack JavaScript project (with a React frontend, Node API, auth, payments, and more).
I'm new to Indie Hackers and would love some feedback - if you have a couple minutes to check out Sapling, what are your initial impressions? Is the value prop clear? If you're a developer, what would make you consider giving it a try?
I spent a lot of time on the Docs, too, so am very interested to hear if they're readable and intuitive.
I'm at the very start of the journey with Sapling, so really appreciate it!
What are your initial impressions?
😬 It looks like this site was designed in 2005 and there's no call to action above the fold...😬
Is the value prop clear?
Yes absolutely! There's a lot of movement in this space, I am glad more competitors to @gabe's Divjoy are slowly popping up
If you're a developer, what would make you consider giving it a try
Honestly without a free tier, I wouldn't. There's not even a 7 day trial...
Docs.
I didn't read the whole docs - there's a lot of it, good job - but the documentation seems ok - one question I have is, is the code-samples part giving you a fully working crud application if you follow all the steps? I think you need to specify more clearly a project someone can clone and show them how they can use your visual tool to modify it and re-generate it as they change say the data-model.
Hi @orliesaurus thanks for the feedback!
I had meant to make it clear that I'm happy to give refunds within a week so I added language and a call to action on that.
I'll be considering your other tips as well!
