We accidentally created a micro-saas. Opinions?

Hello friends, this week we created a mega-simple eLearning using Airtable as a backend.

What do you think of the idea? Will it be able to become a Micro-saas?

The product works like this:

  1. Course registration/purchase page.
  2. Once the payment has been validated, the user's data is saved in an Airtable.
  3. Our system sends an access code to view the course in a private place. (we don't have usernames and passwords!)
  4. All the content of the course is managed through the Airtable table and we convert the material into a JSON with which we build the frontend of the course.
  5. Users who buy the course have a unique access code and can retrieve it whenever they want in case they forget.

What do you think of the product?

We can launch it as micro-saas:

  • Unlimited number of students.
  • Unlimited number of courses.
  • A single price of 15 usd/month.

It falls into the category of no-code for an educational niche that is quite loaded with platforms... however, we are looking for simplicity and that everything works through Airtable as a Backend.

Leave me your opinions to see how we continue and perhaps we will be encouraged to build this in public to analyze it in real time.

Thanks!

      Oh, I forgot to reply!

      Thank you very much for the link, I did not know this solution.

      Our approach is similar, targeting solopreneurs who want to simply and flexibly publish a course under their own domain.

      We have ideas to turn it into a super accessible micro-saas in price. Since at the solution level the SaaS of the Ed-tech market such as Podia, Teacheable, etc. are always more complete.
