1. API2Cart is designed for eCommerce software vendors like order management systems, shipping software, multi-channel software, PIM, etc, that help online store owners manage their operations. Our product is useful for SaaS businesses that need to integrate with multiple eCommerce platforms and marketplaces, including Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, Etsy, Wix, Shopee, OpenCart, Flipkart, Temu, TikTok Shop, and others.

2. We discovered our ideal customer profile by closely analyzing the needs of SaaS businesses that provide software solutions for their customers, i.e. store owners. By studying the challenges eCommerce software developers and providers face in integrating various eCommerce platforms, we identified that offering a unified API would streamline their workflow and save significant development time. We also gathered feedback from customers and partners who were facing integration complexities across different platforms.

As I said I have no idea who my customer is for.

I have a content repurposing web application that's about to go into BETA (currently free, for life)

It turns Youtube videos into podcasts, podcasts into blogs, and blogs into social media posts.

Check it out here: https://www.spreadtech.online/

Who would be an ideal customer for my web app?

My product is for founders who want to learn effective marketing strategies to grow their websites.

Zero to Marketing

1. newclick.io is for e-commerce merchants that run multiple promotions per month. Usually, a director of e-commerce or director of marketing fits the ICP.

2. I discovered this by working with a handful of venture-backed e-commerce stores. They all run lots of promotions, sometimes 2 per month. They often times need to design and schedule website banners for these promotions...

3. That's where we come in. With newclick.io you can design, schedule, and manage promotional announcement banners. We integrate with Shopify and offer an app through their app store, but can be added to any website by adding the JavaScript code snippet to the head tag.

1. We're building Circles, a modern Zoom client that gets out of your way and gives you your desktop back. Our customers are sales professionals and remote teams that use video conferencing to collaborate.

2. The current interface for most video conferencing takes up the majority of your screen, making it difficult for sellers to take notes while on calls and teams to look at roadmaps and relevant documents, all while trying to gauge reactions from the meeting attendees.

Hi @LouTromans,

1. Rivers is a Remote Social Collaboration Platform for your teams at the office, schools, clinics, agencies, and anywhere else that you need to create your own community.

2. Businesses and teams particularly small business teams continue to use popular consumer messenger services like Whatsapp and Telegram for their team collaboration also.
   Rivers is trying to help drive effective communication by retaining the speed and simplicity of their normal messenger apps and not sacrificing for slower performance and confusing UX of some of the email-based team collaboration platforms.

1. Every time I start a new app, I have to do the same things: user auth/management, subscriptions, set up server routing, webpack, build an application layout, etc. and I usually do it in the minimum possible way, meaning there are glaring holes in even that functionality. Nodewood is a SaaS starter kit that comes with all this pre-built and build well, so you can save weeks or months of time when starting coding your next SaaS app.
2. This is something I need and something I keep hearing about on startup podcasts all the time. Founders talking about how they've implemented simple, common features like the ability to download a list of invoices, and how this is a "big win" for their customers. It's not! It's table stakes! And founders shouldn't have to spend time on this, they should be putting their limited time into actual core business-logic features that differentiate themselves from their competitors.

Great post 😁

Sigmetic is a toolkit for the data-driven software team.
It is especially useful for engineering leads and managers for whom it is important to have a full picture of the software development processes on the team.

I started building Sigmetic based on years of frustration as a consequence of lacking insight into the team processes.
I wrote a little blog about that here 😉

Good question; we started really wide because so many different people use screenshot and annotation tools (content marketers, customer support reps, product managers, designers, etc.). But we stumbled on an interesting customer that is growing nicely, which is Teachers; although I haven't cracked the best way to reach/engage them. Teachers use the product to do a range of things, but the most interesting behavior we've seen is grading homework/giving feedback to students.

I think what I've learned over the years is that sometimes the ideal customer bubbles up, I just need to be listening close enough to notice it. As an actionable suggestion, I've found starting free and having some real-time customer support (Intercom, whatever) will help me identity different users and use cases.

1. We thought we knew who our ideal customer is but now we aren't sure...

Our app is for React developers. Our app is a Figma-like design app which allows users to design their React UI with a drag and drop design tool but the magic of Cruu is once you are done designing you can press one button and that design is automatically reflected in your React project library. Never hand-code CSS and HTML again!

But...

We thought individual React developers would like it. But so far no nibbles.
We thought enterprise React developers would like it. But we are not far enough along on our feature set yet.

So we are struggling.

2. We discovered this by using Indie Hackers and our connections to get as many people as possible to try Cruu and doing our best to ask the right questions and listen.

Reflect lets anyone create automated end-to-end tests for their website. We built it for software teams that want E2E test coverage without the massive time-sink of code-based solutions, and for testers who want to automate the regression tests that they're currently doing manually.

How you discovered this

We are two developers frustrated with the current state of end-to-end testing. We've built the tool we wished existed!

1. Tractific is not for just one category so I will tell a few audience categories.
   -Product managers who are not familiar with data.
   -Medium-sized saas businesses that have no data analysts, or want their data team to work more efficiently.

• Small startups that have no employees.

2. After building different startups and having a few thousand users we always hit the same question: How do we convert these users? We had no data team to find metrics, create funnels, and analyze the data so we did all the work ourselves. And in the meantime, we had other things to do like speaking with users, content marketing, debugging, etc. Now with Tractific, medium-sized saas businesses or small startups do not have to hire someone, or do all the job themselves and get their attention distracted. Tractific can find right metrics, create graphs, and analyze the data. After analyzing, it gives recommendations and right solutions to optimize the conversion rate.

Luckily for us, we were our own ideal customer.

I am a WFH dad of 3 kids and I wanted a solution for monitoring my kids from my browser. My business partner was in a similar situation with his new puppy.

https://www.viyo.io really is made for parents and pet owners like us.

1. My product is a website containing advanced tutorials for Vue.js users. 99% of educational content for JS frameworks is beginner orientated - we don't need hello world tutorial #12356, more advanced content is valuable.

2. I am a developer with a ton of experience, but I want to learn more advanced content. I assumed others had this problem.

https://vuejs-course.com/

I worked the other way around by thinking of the problem my users were having first and then create the solution around it.

Side note: I just registered so maybe you'll find out who your customers are by your current signup list anyway 🤔🤯
