Hi all!
I'm working on a new product, and for the first time ever I'm not jumping directly into the code but instead trying to validate the idea first.
Long story short, Backdrop is a tool you install on your website or product to learn more about your users. You know those classic questions you're asking (or want to ask) your users like what's their job title or where did they saw your product? Well, it takes care of that for you.
It solves:
It also does it in a pretty novel way. Instead of configuring forms yourself within your codebase or using a third-party form builder, you just define the fields you want your users to fill out and Backdrop takes care of all the asking for you.
It's cool because it's smart enough to ask all users, not just new ones, in a way that doesn't interrupt their workflow. You can even do some wild stuff like setting recurrence, to ask your users to update the answers they gave previously; or indicating the relevance of fields, so Backdrop knows what's important to ask first and what isn't.
I built a super-simple landing page explaining what it does, any feedback about it is appreciated: https://usebackdrop.com/
Is this something you would use and pay for?
Right, but nowadays 95% of users ignore such questions.
All the contemporary form builders can do it. You just specify type of fields, and that's it. For example, a free Google Forms can do it easily. JotForm and many, many others. Sorry, but personally I don't see any cool or new here...
Anyway, good luck! Maybe I understood your idea wrong, or you can narrow your niche.
