    The Rocket Science of an SaaS MVP: what do you use to build it fast?

    What do you use to build MVPs of SaaS fast? And how long does it take for you? I tried React.JS/HTML/CSS - takes too long to develop if you're not a front-end expert. Sometimes just something as trivial as moving a button takes a LOT of time - even with GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT combined. Doing backends with Javascript is also not a piece of cake, I had a better experience with more industrial languages like Scala/Java. Ideally I'm looking for a drag-and-drop UI builder that also doesn't look like it's from the past decade, and that allows you to program the business logic using normal development IDEs, not their proprietary editor in a web browser. Curious to hear your approaches to building MVPs of SaaS products fast!

    Hey Toli, building SaaS MVPs swiftly is crucial! Consider exploring low-code or no-code platforms like Bubble or OutSystems for a drag-and-drop UI experience without compromising on modern aesthetics. These tools often integrate seamlessly with conventional development IDEs, streamlining the process.

    To rapidly build an SaaS MVP (Minimum Viable Product), utilize a combination of modern low-code/no-code platforms like Bubble or OutSystems for your backend and frontend, while harnessing cloud services such as AWS or Google Cloud for reliable infrastructure, and use automation tools like Zapier or Integromat for smooth workflow, coupled with rapid prototyping tools like Figma for UX/UI design, ensuring speed, scalability, and cost-effectiveness.

    @sophia_adams23 how would you go from Figma to an actual design on an actual website, as a solopreneur without frontend background? Are there any good tools that allow to convert Figma to HTML/CSS?
