Startup Software to Follow Rob Walling's Process and Recommendations?

#robwalling #themomtest #startsmallstaysmall #thesaasplaybook #5pmframework

Hi all, my question is:

Has anyone built software that roughly follows the progression of Rob's teachings and recommendations? If so, what options are available for me to use or try out?

Background

I'm heavily influenced by Rob Walling's work. I've listened to "MicroConf" on YT, "Start Ups for the Rest of Us" podcast, started reading "The SaaS Playbook" but switched to read and finish "Start Small Stay Small", and am currently reading "The Mom Test" (as recommended by Rob). Additionally I've tried to use the 5 P.M. Framework for evaluating ideas.

It would be helpful to have some more structure (website) to help faciliate starting my software ideas including:

• Central place to store my ideas and start the 5PM idea validation grid
• Move an idea to the validation including a "mini" CRM for tracking customers, email addresses, emails sent, replies sent
• A place to ask recurring questions according to "The Mom Test" questions to make sure I'm appropriately asking the right questions (at least the minimum set of questions even if I stray to react to a customer's response)
• A place for references including some of the links I've shared below to credit the authors and people in the space (Rob Walling and Rob Fitzpatrick in this case)

I realized this is only one way to build software, however as an engineer myself, I find following a process is much easier for me to stay motivated and "stick to the plan" and figured others are likely to have a similar problem.
