Hi all - a friend and I have been dabbling in the entrepreneur space for years, but we never really pulled the trigger because of our corporate jobs. We suffer from the same thing that plagues a lot of engineers: we know how to build products, but we are weak at distribution and marketing.

We feel that being able to build is becoming table stakes and the ability to actually get a product into people's hands is more important than ever. We built SheetNinja (https://sheetninja.io) to force ourselves to learn that side of the business from the ground up.

We chose a validated market (sheets-to-api) so we could focus on the "how to find users" problem rather than wondering if the category was useful. It also fits our current "vibe coding" workflow i.e. when we use LLMs or Replit to spin up an idea, a Google Sheet is often the fastest way to handle CRUD without the friction of setting up a traditional database.

We are looking for feedback on the tool itself and the landing page. We have a lot of visitors but a lower sign-up rate atm.

Thanks, in advance!

Good project but I wish something like this can exist for proton mail, I have made some puppeteer scripts which can hook up to proton docs.

But Proton is really doing some great disservice to not having a public api for their docs.

I can imagine it being used for anonymous comments page for webpages etc.

I am not sure if there is something that you can do about it though given that the fundamental issue of this is caused by proton not having an api whereas I think google docs does have API.

It's more a message to proton if anything.

The animations in the page keeps interrupting me and scrolling me up after I scroll past them.

Is this in the 'How it Works' section? I'll get that fixed - thanks for letting me know.

Yes https://youtube.com/shorts/rQdvvGtapL4
