Introduction: I came across the notion Indie Hackers during the Christmas season and got inspired by people making money on their own. The idea is a single individual, in their free time, can create small software products of their own and make money off of it. I’m not sure why it was such a novel idea to me but it had me HOOKED. I decided to give it a shot and played around with different ideas. However, my coding knowledge was not enough to create a product from scratch. That’s when I found Bubble, a fantastic no-code tool that allowed me to build user interfaces and workflows without coding. Though the initial building process was slow, I figured things out over the holiday season. However, with a full-time job, I couldn’t dedicate enough time to building a company. A few weeks into the new year, I got motivated again after seeing success stories on Twitter. While I didn’t have a specific market in mind, I wanted to choose something familiar. Let me share the journey of how I sold my first no-code SaaS company, the challenges I faced, and the lessons I learned along the way.
Exploring No-Code Tools and Overcoming Challenges:
During my exploration, I realized my coding skills were insufficient. Fortunately, I found Bubble, a no-code tool that allowed me to create user interfaces and workflows easily. Although the initial building process was slow and challenging, I persisted and mastered it over the Christmas and New Year’s break. However, due to my full-time job, I had limited time to focus on building a company, so I put the idea on hold.
