SaaS #1 - FastestNotes, a keyboard first oriented to do list with superpowers

FastestNotes

A keyboard first oriented to do list with superpowers

Hi everyone!

This is my first attempt at creating a Software as a Service product, the idea was to solve my own pain: I needed a tool that I could use lightning fast to take notes, write tasks, estimate and get an overview. 

After research I've found out that we type very fast compare to moving the mouse + keyboard. With this in mind, I've encountered a group of people that wanted to try the idea of handling tasks, notes and estimates by using CLI (command line interface).

In 2020 I spent approximately 6 Months to build a project that fulfilled the idea. 

A keyboard first oriented app, simple and powerful structured, tasks, notes, with possibility to estimate and report (daily) the work time , therefore fastestnotes.com was born.

We didn't got too much traction at first, but after we launched on ProductHunt, IndieHackers and a couple of subreddits, we've got 20 users in the first month of launch.

I've got quite a few bugs reported from users which were quickly fixed and did a bold move... I've completely removed the presentation page of the product , showing the users exactly what the software purpose is.

Until December 2020 we've got around 100 users free plan, no one converted.

For the moment I will let the FastestNotes.com up and running for everyone that is interested in a simple yet powerful way to handle tasks, notes and estimates.

This SaaS is my own way to solve the tasks - estimates problem, and based on the data I have today it's really a niche with a limited number of users.

My next project is a custom web calculator builder (No-Code) which I will present pretty soon.

Stay safe.
