Hey HN,
Recently I realized I am paying close to $400 to Bonsai every year, event though I am using only 2-3 of the features which happen to be in the Professional plan so I am building a simpler and more affordable version for small service based businesses.
It's still in active development, so far it has:
- scheduling links
- client crm
- link-in-bio/lead capture builder
- form builder
with custom workflows and integrations coming soon.
I would love some feedback. It has a free plan that you can play around.
Join 100+ coaches, is this true? FIVE STAR RATING, is this true? Pro is Limited time (11 left) is this true?
I'm not your target audience so I didn't want to come off too critical. That said, and given no other comments: - this is a tailwind site. - everything about this is some tailwind component
Getting something up super fast is not "wrong", that's why I hesitate to comment. What this makes me question though is whether you've talked to your customers and leaned into what they are about and how you're benefiting them.
I really don't like this "join 100+ coaches" because it feels like a lie! is it a lie? why are you lying to your customers? That's my takeaway.
I'm a developer too, and I genuinely applaud the bias toward action and shipping something. What I struggle with, and what I am talking on, is the actually doing the hard work - not the npm tailwind-whatever-the-fuck - of solving customer problems.
