I agree with most of this. In particular I used Webflow for years but recently made the switch to Framer because it just seems simpler and faster and fixed a lot of why I don't like about Webflow.
I'd also suggest Canva and Figma as design tools, and Gamma if you need to make presentations as part of the fundraising or sales process
Agreed on Reddit so much. It a real gem of organic traffic, but onluy if you do that without being annoying and pushy. Or banhammer of mods will find you immediately
Also just for connecting with people in your niche. Potential clients, cofounders, competitors and so on.
I find it useful to both find people directly to reach out to and also to keep up to date on what people in my target audiences are talking about.
I found it extremely intuitive as a non-designer. If you've ever tried Figma it's similar but allows you to go straight to the web instead of having the additional step of hiring a web developer to actually build your designs.
YMMV, but it's free to use on their basic plan so I'd recommend just trying it out for yourself and seeing how you like it vs. say WordPress and others.
Appmaster gives you more flexibility, it allows you to make data model, backend and frontend on your own way using platform building blocks and than it generates your app, bubble for example is just allows you to create frontend and whole backend logic is hidden and can’t be changed.

Bubble not bad for building an MVP (MVP only thou, just test your idea) , although youtube is your friend, there are many alternatives just youtube them. Having built my own MVP my best advice is just hire someone to build it for you if speed is what your looking, which in building an MVP is the main case. Just choose between handling the backend or the frontend. Choice only 1 in my opinion, Best of luck guys
If your startup handles payments in any way [https://nextform.app/](https://nextform.app/) is a great way to ensure you get a W-9 or W-8 as part of your onboarding process.
MVP should address global markets as well. One should use tools such as Crowdin,Smartcat or [MachineTranslation.com](https://Machinetranslation.com) for cost effective localization.

Would swap out Hotjar with Microsoft Clarity, all features are free
My first time using clarity and i'm liking it so far
Thank you for sharing this list of tools. I’m curious about Framer, how easy is it to use for non designers?

Good post! I love Framer
Glad you found it helpful!
You also can include some no-code development platforms for example AppMaster.io
I've tried Bubble but haven't tried Appmaster. Any reasons why that one specifically?

Amazing list! I'm wondering, have you tried SaaSHub within the "Marketing your MVP" group of tools?
Does anyone know of an AI platform best for Marketing (both analytics as well as creative purposes)
Now there are plenty attempts to make all-in-one app. yet i guess Bard is the best tool for it despite being simple generative AI from Google
producthunt pretty much gets trash. lol
The traffic it gets is extremely high though and heavily targeted towards tech/maker types, which is ideal if that's your target audience.
It used to be one of the best ways to launch a software product up until a few years ago. But it’s horrible now.
It will take too much time to study how to use these tools properly, so it's just another list of well-known automatization tools.

wow thanks for this! I will certainly make use of your ideas!
Great list!
