Solo founders who built a SaaS with a great frontend/ui?

Does anyone know a SaaS built by an indie hacker that has a great frontend/ui?

    I love the frontend/ui of Nextless.js, React SaaS Boilerplate using React and Tailwind CSS.

    I'm totally biased because I built myself from scratch as a solo founder/solo developer without any design background.

    I learnt so much about UI but also UX. Hope this can help you

    Sorry for the self plug in advance, but I built https://www.cartamaps.com and although I am primarily a full stack dev, I really enjoy designing user interfaces.

    Take a look at cartamaps and let me know what you think.

    Most of the inspiration came from a combination of Figma community, landingfolio.com and Dribbble.

      wow thanks flavio 🤩

    There are lots of gems. Check out Tally (https://tally.so/) and Pika (https://pika.style/)

      I really loved Tally, is it created by 1 front-end developer or they have a designer as well?

    I used SaaS UI https://saas-ui.dev/

    Highly recommended, especially if you love Chakra

      I'm using chakra for my SaaS currently, is it hard to migrate to SaaS UI?

      1. 1

        Not particularly hard, I integrated it into my existing Chakra app without issues. The pro version comes with a starterkit, but I'm only using it as a component library.

    Flezr.com by @upenv has a brilliant UI as a no-code tool.

      Thanks for the mention. We are already working with a few customers and about to launch on PH next month.

    Super biased as I'm building it, but getwaitlist.com has gone through a lot of iterations and I'm particularly happy with the current version :)

    https://tail.so is built on top of Notion :)

  8. 1

    Well, that's me. You found one.

    Infact, I built a whole platform which is optimized to develop SaaS Products

    I use Quasar ( Vue JS) for frontend and Symfony ( PHP ) for back-end. I use GraphQL API to glue backend and frontend.

    Visit HikeOrders.com to look at few of my micro SaaS products

    https://www.airbox.dev The entire application was built by me alone.

    I think I know what you mean @akfaew. But I would be really curious why you ask!?! 😬

  12. 1

    I'm about to post details about my Decentralized Sportsbetting SaaS. I did all the UI/UX: valuebet.app

  13. 1

    What do you think of mine? https://starter.place I tried to make it clean and simple, taking inspiration from GitHub.

    1. 1

      I love your product man

      1. 1

        Thank you! Much appreciated :)

  14. 1

    flexbloc.xyz is pretty clean IMHO

  15. 1

    UI has more of a kid theme to it used GSAP for the animations: https://codera.app

  16. 1

    It feels like all the links I've clicked in this thread have "Notion-Like interface" at the top of their landing page features. Is that the hallmark of a great front-end in 2023?

  17. 1

    I think projectionlab.com has one of the better UI's

  18. 1

    Check out @_justlilian. He's building Sidebird.io and it's gorgeous.

    1. 1

      ohhh thank you andy!

      1. 1

        You really have a wonderful well design and coded UI for Sidebird.io 👍

        1. 1

          you guys are being too kind with me haha 🫶

  19. 1

    Check what I did for FocusPlus, the landing page is pretty simple and made with Carrd but we worked our ass off on the app.

    You can get a preview of the UI/UX in the video if you don't want to signup :)

    https://avatarai.me/ was built by a solo dev and the UI looks great

  21. 1

    Recently I saw typedream.com and it looks awesome to me.

    Currently I'm building one too, a sample is here: vianotion.com

    1. 2

      This was built by a team of 5, definitely not a work of an indie hacker :)

      1. 1

        Oh, is it? I thought it was by an indie maker. I know the maker of this site from Twitter :)

  22. 1

    Just want to throw Sidekick in the ring too :)

  23. 1

    I think saavycal.com looks really nice

    1. 1

      Yep, that's what I'm looking for, thank you

    Stick with a common design pattern. Material design is well thought out. You can also use Apple's design guidelines or Microsoft's.

    I do blazor with MudBlazor.
