Hey guys,
I am currently in the process of development a CRM for Remote Entrepreneurs / Freelancers. It helps them manage, their business, travel and finances. I started working on this project to scratch my own itch and I would really like to see if this product solves problems for other remote entrepreneurs as well.
Please take a look at the live prototype:- https://www.figma.com/proto/KPJ8od8iVfKko4EO2CfpoE/Unpluggd-CRM?node-id=43808%3A22896&scaling=contain&page-id=43679%3A21884&starting-point-node-id=43683%3A20641&show-proto-sidebar=1
I do not see myself using it, I believe Notion has all I need for me to manage clients, finances, sales, marketing ,etc.
I agree with others – Notion and Google Sheets are usually enough for me. Furthermore, I personally find them outclassing niche tools for organizing life and work. This is because niche tools are usually a one-size-fits-all solution: they impose their own workflow on you, more or less. With Notion and Sheets, you're free to create your own workflow. So, at least for creative people, Notion and Sheets are better.
Worth noting is that there are people who don't like creating workflows and structuring their life – for them, a niche solution may be preferable. You need to test against the target audience and see.
How are you better than Bonsai?
I can see the determination but like others said, it's hard seeing myself using this as well.
Like what you said in a reply, juggling too many tools is also a pain. If only there's one tool to rule them all. No-code automation tools exist. But what if there's an app with all we need as freelancers in one browser tab? I don't know if this is your goal but one can only wish. :D
Perhaps you can slowly add features to differentiate from Notion??? An automated proposals and contracts would ease some work. Some digital nomads get paid by hours too, a time tracker would be nice.
I can't see myself using this over Notion. I don't the value prop
I'm not a digital nomad, so I can't say that I'd use it. The natural question I'd want answered though is: "what's in it for me" to use this tool.
Think about that as you build it out. Probably you need to have a robust free tier as well for digital nomads who are just starting out and dont have a lot to spend on tools.
Interesting niche, but possibly too narrow.
Thank you for your feedback! The WIIFM for me was essentially having a robust tool that can help me run my business and my lifestyle. I found myself juggling too many different tools, I am definitely looking to see how many other freelancers / nomads have this issue. Also I am thinking of making it very modular so users can pick and choose modules, so its not too focused on just nomads but regular freelancers as well.
