Launched a startup with No-code tools only? 🤔

WHAT’S THE PRODUCT?

A simple concept:

Enter Fidlio.

It is a platform that helps software companies get feedback and feature requests from their users.

Fidlio makes it easy for businesses to manage customer suggestions and prioritize product development based on user input.

This tool makes it simple for software companies to gather and organize feedback, which is important for improving products and meeting customer needs.

THE BACKGROUND

A few sentences about Cristian, the founder.

Cristian Cisa is an entrepreneur from Barcelona with a background in Industrial Design. Despite not working as an industrial designer, he was drawn to the internet during his university years, leading him to start his first company, an interactive agency, with two partners shortly afterward.

Over the years, Cristian has been involved in multiple startups, including a communication software for schools that has become successful, generating $40,000 monthly recurring revenue (MRR).

With a keen interest in entrepreneurship and a self-starter attitude, Cristian embarked on creating Fidlio, a micro-SaaS, as a side project, leveraging no-code tools to develop the platform despite not being a traditional developer.

WHAT TOOLS DID HE USE?

Very simple tech-stack. 😏 

Cristian used several tools to build and manage Fidlio, including:

1. Bubble: A no-code platform that enables users to design, develop, and launch web applications without writing code.

2. Trello: A web-based, Kanban-style list-making application that's used for task and project management.

3. WordPress: A popular content management system (CMS) that allows users to create and publish websites and blogs.

4. Figma: An online tool that helps teams work together to design and create prototypes for interfaces.

5. Zapier: An online automation tool that connects your favorite apps and services, allowing them to share data and trigger actions between each other.

6. Integromat: An advanced online automation platform that connects apps and services to automate workflows, similar to Zapier.

THE PROBLEM

If you don’t listen to your customers, you’re gonna go out of business.

In the fast-paced software industry, it is important to listen to user feedback for growth and improvement.

However, lots of companies find it difficult to collect, arrange, and prioritize these valuable insights in an efficient manner. They often get confused with spreadsheets or different communication channels.

Fidlio addresses this gap by providing a streamlined, user-friendly platform where software teams can seamlessly collect and manage user feedback and feature requests.

This helps companies make decisions based on data and promotes a development process that is more responsive to users.

JOURNEY TO LAUNCH

It wasn’t easy..

Cristian Cisa's journey to launching Fidlio was marked by a blend of passion, perseverance, and practical innovation.

Without formal training in software development, he turned to no-code tools to bring his vision to life.

The journey began with extensive market research and competitor analysis, followed by meticulous planning of the MVP (Minimum Viable Product).

Leveraging his design skills and the capabilities of no-code platforms like Bubble, Cristian designed, prototyped, and developed Fidlio, all while balancing his responsibilities at his full-time job and personal life.

The launch of Fidlio was challenging because of limited marketing resources, but ProductHunt helped introduce it to the world.

CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS

Every step of Cristian's journey was laden with challenges…

…from the technical constraints of no-code development to the daunting task of market entry with no significant online following.

One major hurdle was the steep learning curve associated with mastering no-code tools to build a robust and scalable SaaS product.

Cristian faced challenges by getting involved in the community, teaching himself, and trying different things. He showed that if you keep trying, you can learn as you go and it can be very satisfying. Marketing Fidlio was another big challenge, especially since there was no money for advertising.

Cristian's solution was to use the support of the community and content.

He used platforms like ProductHunt and interacted with the no-code and entrepreneurial communities on social media to get noticed and make progress.

NO-CODE IMPACT

Cristian Cisa's success story with Fidlio is a testament to the transformative power of no-code technology.

No-code tools have democratized software development, enabling entrepreneurs, designers, and professionals from non-technical backgrounds to turn their ideas into functional products without writing a single line of code.

This movement is not only about making development easier, but also about removing obstacles to innovation, promoting inclusivity, and giving power to a new generation of creators to solve their own problems.

Cristian's journey shows how no-code platforms can speed up the process of creating and improving digital products. This makes entrepreneurship easier for everyone in the no-code community.
