Launch HN: Stacker (YC S20) – Create Apps from Airtable or Google Sheets
I've seen so many of these, and I think they should all be very successful but the only time I've seen them work is when they are wrapped in a service/consulting organization.<p>The reasons for this may be:<p>1. Even when the coding is free, the problem understanding part is not<p>2. The amount of work to be done to implement a new process or system is non-trivial, but temporary, so you need temporary help.<p>3. Probably another 3-5 reasons I haven't thought of.<p>In any case, it seems you would have to pitch your solution to a consulting firm. If you get one of the top 5, you're golden. However, they might prefer the real expensive enterprisy solutions. You're better of pitching to larger but lightweight organizations.<p>One way to do that is have training around learning typical client processes, typical solutions, and how to implement them. Or how to recognize issues. (Making this up: look at the balance sheet, if inventory is building up, turnover is low. You want a process to push back the order time and link it to sales.)
