π This day has been a long time coming! I'm so excited to announce 8base on Product Hunt. Any help from the Indie Hackers community checking us out would be great https://www.producthunt.com/posts/8base.
8base is the platform that I wish I had at my past ventures. After raising lots of capital, I always saw that we were spending 80% of our time and money building and maintaining non-unique systems that all applications need - things like log-in and role-based permission-ing, and even workflow, messaging and notifications. These components were always critical, but when looked at in isolation, completely undifferentiated.
Had I had 8base back then, we would have been able to launch faster, require less venture capital and operate using smaller teams. Our dream is that 8base will take care of the foundation for startup founders and makers in larger companies so that they can instead focus on innovation. It's a big goal, but I really believe that we can accomplish it!
So far we've had dozens of startups, 1,000's of developers world-wide and some very large organizations using the platform. We've also got some epic projects in the hopper where we're providing design and development services to support non-technical founders that want to get to market fast with a scalable product.
Either way, building amazing digital products is our passions and 8base is the manifestation of our dream to make doing so more accessible and economical for everyone.
π¬ Feedback
I'd love to know if you have any feedback, ideas or things to fix. We're constantly improving 8base and any feedback can have a HUGE impact.
Thanks,
Albert
Congratulations! I am a dev and I looked at your site and the video and I still can not grasp how and what do you provide. Will my software use for common tasks your services through an API?
HI,
Are you a developer? If so, 8base provides a serverless GraphQL backend-as-a-service for powering web and mobile applications.
If you are a non-technical founder, 8base provides a platform for accelerating the development of your applications while also providing an optional design and development service in the event you would like help building your application.
In any event, 8base is a purpose-built foundation for fully-scalable digital products for startups.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Albert
