I've written my first blog post for Mapsemble and put a first version of Mapsemble online for folks to try. 🥳 Very much work in progress ⚠️ but should give you an idea of where I'm heading. Feedback is very welcome. Interested? Drop me a line. #SaaS #buildinpublic #b2b

Cheers, I've seen people falling into that trap as well. I will also try not to bite more than i can chew. I'll take onboard 5 to 10 early adopters and build their use case using Mapsemble. A lot of consulting hours for free, hopefully benefiting both Mapsemble and the customer. Reassess after.

I am thinking of creating a Founding Partner Program for mapsemble.com.

- 50% lifetime discount
- Done-for-you implementation
- Direct access for feature requests and feedback

Is this a good idea? Anyone with experience?

Just watched Back to the Future with my 7 and 9 yr old daughters. They loved it as much as I did (still do), when I was their age.

Nowadays it gets a 16+ rating on Prime.

Sure, there's booze, smoking, swearing and casual rape 😱. Still glad I ignored the modern-day age rating.

Hell of a movie.

Best way to build a SaaS is finding PPCs (Patient Potential Customers) and build stuff together.

Working on a Mapsemble + Drupal integration as we speak with @wollfwizard.com, turning entities into a Mapsemble map, ironing out the issues and making it work.

Cheers.

www.fijnopvakantie.nl/bestemmingen is actively using this with a good few visitors a day.

In any case, I will continue to work performance and speed. I'm sure there will be plenty to improve.

Do you need an AirBnB style map using Mapsemble and #Drupal?

🚀 Drupal handles filtering, cards and popups.
💪 Mapsemble handles the rest.
👉 Set it up in minutes.

Just rolled out a new update to Mapsemble 🗺️ — you can now enable pagination while still showing all other markers for context!
Perfect for big maps that stay intuitive.

20 years ago, #Symfony was publicly released as a #PHP Open-Source project. Thank you all for your support along the years.

Over a yr ago I picked @symfony.com and @ux.symfony.com to build Mapsemble.com

Couldn't have been happier with the choice: Powerful, fast, unopinionated, yet sensibly intuitive.

Particularly Live Components (symfony.com/bundles/ux-l...) - IMO an underrated powerhouse that deserves more credit.

🚀 First live use case for Mapsemble!🥳

A custom 'AirBnB style' map for Dutch holiday rental site fijnopvakantie.nl/bestemmingen

The map is powered by Mapsemble, while filtering and cards are (partly) handled by the site itself - allowing them to implement their own design and logic.

This is built with symfony and LiveComponents 🤯. That means zero JavaScript written and no build system. Amazing how far we’ve come worldbuilder.sylvainblondeau.dev

If you were to focus your SaaS product on a no/low-code CMS marketplace, which one would it be?

- Webflow?
- Framer?
- Wix?
- Squarespace?
- Dorik?

I'll be talking about @ux.symfony.com Live Components at Drupal Iberia in Cáceres on the 5th of April. (And plugging mapsemble.com a bit. 😜)

Impact of AI on new SaaS?

Gut feeling:

𝐋𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐭:
👉 Validate early. We are flooded by AI generated MVPs trying to validate ideas.
👉 Unique product: everything exists already.

𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐭:
👉 Friction free, high quality UI
👉 Distribution/Product = 95/5%
👉 Solutions for non-devs.

Thoughts?
