Hey there, hunters!
I'm Joshua, the founder of sikey.io, and I want to express my gratitude to all of you for being a part of this journey.
Sikey.io is a no-code tool designed to help entrepreneurs and developers test their product ideas quickly and efficiently.
But before I delve into the story of sikey.io, I want to extend special thanks to my co-founder, @ronniel_sembrano , whose unwavering support and collaboration have been instrumental in bringing this vision to life.
Now, let me share a little story of how sikey.io began:
==========================================
I've been developing SaaS products on the side for the past couple of years, and so far, none of them have reached the level of success I had envisioned. It has been a challenging journey, but that has taught me valuable lessons about failure and perseverance.
As a software engineer, ideas for new products come to me all the time. I'm constantly brainstorming and coming up with innovative concepts that I believe have the potential to revolutionize the market.
A common mistake that I made in the past was jumping straight into development without properly testing my ideas. I would get so excited about a new concept that I would immediately start coding, without taking the time to evaluate whether there was actually a demand for the product.
This often led to wasted time and effort, as I would spend months building a product that no one wanted or needed. Until I reached the point where I just left my ideas sitting in a notebook, untouched and unexplored. I wanted to test the ideas, but I just didn't feel like doing so. I had been through a hard slump.
I decided to take a break. Then, one day, I suddenly felt the desire to start all over again. I wanted to build a tool that would help me test my ideas and also wouldn't take up too much of my time, since I only have 2-3 hours to spare per day. The tool should allow me to:
⚡️ Easily create landing pages to showcase my product ideas.
🤝 Gather potential users with the help of the built-in mail list feature.
📨 Send newsletters and updates to my audience to keep them engaged.
And that's how sikey.io was born.
==========================================
As sikey.io is still in its MVP stage, your valuable feedback and suggestions are highly appreciated. Thank you for letting me share my story, and I look forward to your comments and feedback.
im confused about how you get people to validate stuff? is this just a no-code landing page builder? or are you actually sourcing people to share their opinions about the ideas. if the user is the one who has to bring the audience over, i'm having a hard time understanding how this is different from any other landing page builder.
Congratulations!
A bug: there seems to be an anomaly with the Google login due to the lack of authentication from Google.
Nice work, this is looking great! I bet the expansion of the plugin options and AI integrations are going to be what pushes this to the next level.
It is a very thoughtful.. very relatable story. Honestly, I have also gone through a few ideas, and setting up a domain, website, no code-builder pages, etc (as easy as they are compared to 10 years ) ago, aren't purpose-built for entrepreneurs trying to validate ideas. I like your approach to having a built-in email list is good. wishing you guys the best.. I'm am going to use it to fire test a couple of product ideas I'm thinking about
Congrats on the launch! Can you track the performance of your newsletters and see how engaged your audience is?
Awesome product, I can see this being useful for a lot of creators!
With all the built-in tracking possibilities, do you have a system in place for European users that it’s GDPR compliant?
congrats on the launch, love the concept as too many SaaS builders fall into the same trap! what are the key things you see Sikey doing differently to a service like Carrd.co?
great idea, will test it out, I strongly believe in validation first! good luck with the launch, upvoted!
I was genuinely wondering if something like this existed yesterday. Congrats on the launch, seems quite sophisticated. Down the line, are you perhaps planning to add a way to export the code? If not, then as someone who does frontend development, I'd love the ability to either make small tweaks to the existing code in my project (from within your website) or to upload my own components (according to your specifications)
Hey @crow1796 what an awesome job here! A lot of hard work for sure. Congrats on the launch and keep on that way.
Hey Joshua! Congrats on the launch of sikey.io! It's awesome to hear how you've learned from past experiences and are now focused on testing ideas before jumping into development. I'm curious, what strategies are you using to gather potential users for your product?
Good initiative. I will be trying this as I continue to experiment on a bunch of things.
