Built-in economics (subscriptions, tipping) is awesome but I think the platform agnostic stuff is really interesting...
Today if you wanted to have your own blog front-end, you have to couple that with figuring out your own distribution and giving up the audience of major platform (medium, substack). Love the idea of a future where the content, comments, likes, followers, etc. preserved across platforms. I could publish today anywhere, and know that I could build my own frontend in the future without starting from scratch. very cool
- Even though I'm a dev, I find myself hating the maintenance of internal tools
- I looked through my GSuite and realize that I'm already using sheets to build micro apps. Each spreadsheet I create is a basic tool for collaborating around data. Adding a meta layer on top of it to enable things like permissions + better UI is a totally natural next step. I think there's a bit of an education piece to get spreadsheet users to realize that they're building micro apps, but once that aha moment happens, I think the value prop of stacker is really clear.
Excited to see where you all go :)
