Rapidr.io

[ ] Democratize user feedback. Tools like SleekPlan , Rapidr and Canny.io allow you to continually get feedback from users and know what is most important to them. Some companies, like Notion, have created active Reddit communities with lots of user feedback. I don't have a favorite guide on this so feel free to share one if you do.

Customer.io

[ ] Email is still king. I worked at SendGrid, but I think Customer.io is the best tool right now. Use it for newsletters, 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.
