   A good beginners tool to start your digital transformation.

   One of our customers said: Our small mining operation needed to go from paper based process to digital forms. At first, Google forms allowed us to use this Web-based platform that lets individuals and businesses of all sizes build customizable forms to conduct surveys and generate real-time response charts.

   We saw that a small sample of our field workers quickly adopted the new way of working.

   Step 1: accomplished.

   Now unto step 2.

   How do we deploy this unto our whole team? We needed email notifications, offline response collection when without wifi on the field. Our CIO and his director of operations needed deep data and trends analysis as well. Our inspectors, when doing their audits, needed to capture approx. 25 high definition pictures, some audio notes and a video which wasn't really possible with google forms.

   So, we can 100% credit the use of google forms to our transition towards a paperless process, but as we navigated saashub.com a little more, we were able to discover a world of alternatives. We strongly suggest to start using google forms before undergoing a big implementation plan towards such enterprise level inspection tools like nspek or even cheaper solutions like prontoforms.

   I am not sure if we would start with google's solution first if we would to do this digital transformation all over, but it did allow us to discover it's limits pretty quickly.

   At some point, we needed custom fields and functions, and none of us was able to code, so the nSpek training that comes with the application definitely sets it's self apart, giving us full autonomy.

   🏁 Competitors: nSpek, ProntoForms

   👍 Pros:    No sign up cost

   👎 Cons:    Customization|Customer support|Data protection and security|No video|No pictures

  I have to plug one of my favorite workflow automation tools that is a namesake and was fairly recently developed: https://pipedream.com/ Would definitely give it a try if you’re looking to automate Yahoo Pipes style.

• Import data from tick tick

  Apparently, Ticktick allows you to make backups of projects and tasks in CSV, so you could transform the CSV content into markdown and import it into Amplenote. Or you can set a script to get Ticktick's tasks using their API and Amplenote's APi. A good place to write these would be Pipedream if you already know how to code. Source: 12 months ago

• Alternative to heroku

  Many great options have been listed already (shoutout Netlify and Firebase!). I'd also suggest Pipedream which is great because you can build workflows that combine no code steps in addition to full-code steps when the pre-built solutions don't work. Source: 12 months ago
