Thank you. MICRO CRM is a relationship management app. The only thing from a funnel software that I plan on Implementing is a pipeline which I believe can be useful.

Hey, thank you for checking out Micro CRM.

At first glance Monica is a great open source CRM with a lot of good features. The main difference with Micro CRM is that I am trying to implement integrations such as email and calendar and build an API for third party integration without users having to deploy their own CRMs

The other difference is that being a closed source product, paying customers will have a person to talk to directly in case of a problem.

Lastly I am proud of my product and will also say it is better haha!

Thank you for your feedback.

I am not saying I will implement every single feature people request but I will take any feedback my customers give me. I will continue working on Micro CRM and provide updates and fix bugs.

All I'm trying to do here is build a app that people will use and be happy with.

Hey! Thanks for checking my app out. All of things you listed above happens a lot you see SaaS companies being sold out all the time I am aware of that.

Micro CRM is my very first bootstrapped product and I understand your concerns. My goal with this project and everything else I have in mind is not to sellout eventually but to create solutions for people that need them and make a living that way.

At the end of day creating a SaaS, or even you, the user deciding to use my app is a gamble. if you believe this product is the right fit for you I would be delighted to have you as a customer. If not I will gladly take any feedback you will have

Valid concern. Who wants to use a product and see it be discontinued. As of right Micro CRM is a bootstrapped product and I do not have a co-founder. However as a Solo entrepreneur I am dedicated fill gaps in markets like this one.

The ideal future for me would be having a small team to work on these projects with me but as of right now it is a one man show.

Thank you for your helpful insight. You listed most of the things I am getting ready to build.

Stay tuned!

You are right, the CRM space is really crowded. I am not trying to build the next Salesforce or next giant in the CRM space. I believe the reason why small businesses and freelancers struggle so much is because most CRMs out there do not ask them WHAT THEY NEED. My plan for Micro CRM is to build a simple product that will grow with my customers overtime.

Right now my main strategy is to manually promote to places like HN, IndieHackers, ProductHunt (Official ProductHunt launch is Monday Nov 4) and listen to what you guys have to say and what you guys need

Hey, thanks for your feedback. I did not say it before but I am also considering implementing a pipeline. I myself realised today that I will need that .

An API is also in the works for a third plan: Entreprise ($50/month)

Any suggestions is welcome !! I am trying to build a CRM for small businesses and freelancers so I want to know what you guys need !

I am planning on building an API to make integrations with other systems easier. That feature however would be available in the Enterprise Plan ($100/month, unlimited users) which I plan to introduce once the API for third party integration is implemented.

A mobile app is also on the works

Thank you for your proper explanation of a CRM. I understand about your concern with your data but I can assure you, I am building this SaaS product for people like you and it is here to stay.

I am also planning on building an exporting feature , not because this product will disappear one day (which will not happen) but because I want you (the user) to be able to access your data whenever you need.

I am more than happy to hear any concerns you might have

I did not implement export yet but I will probably have it in the premium plan

It is in the pipeline of immediate features

Will do. Thank you for the heads up

Thank you @CarolineW I see your point here. Thank you for your feedback

Sorry it took me so long to reply (Hacker News does not offer notifications and I was busy with school)

I am an Android Developer. I can say that I am analytical (In the sense of thinking logically). I agree that the interface of Google Analytics is a little bit messy (and don't get me started on the mobile app) and it took me a while to start understanding how it works.

Based on my experience with Google Analytics I think that the most important thing when it comes to analyzing data is not to know what every piece of data means but it is about knowing how to interpret the specific piece of data you need. Therefore I think that Although Google Analytics can be difficult at first, knowing exactly what piece of data you need and how to analyze and interpret this data is the key to use it properly

I personally started collecting and analyzing data about my projects only 3 months ago. Google analytics really helped me with one of my Android apps. It helped me discover where my users come from, the parts of my app they were most engaged with and also helped me fixed many issues I never experienced myself. Although these numbers can really help understand how people uses your product, they are still numbers and cannot express a user's feeling about a product at 100%
