Shipright.co

[ ] I suggest you start using a tool like Notion to take notes and Shipright to start organizing the suggestions, feature requests, ideas, and more from your interviews. I'm sure other people have much more clever ways of doing this so I'm open to suggestions.

Customer.io

[ ] Email is still king. I worked at SendGrid, but I think Customer.io is the best tool right now. Use it for newsletter, behavioral emails, and transactional emails. It's vital you have emails ready!

Bubble.io

[ ] Build a web app using Bubble if you're not technical. It's code-free and very easy to use. If you're experienced in coding then you may hate it. So stick with things like Material UI to speed up your design.
