👾 Useful tools

Interesting tools are recommended or widely used by other makers. Here is my top pick this week.

PhantomBuster — A solo maker's best friend to automate recurring tasks!

What we like: I have two approaches to automating things. If it falls into one of these categories, I do my best to automate with tools like PhantomBuster, or Zapier:

1) You do the same task, everyweek, to maintain your product. Then it's not a "move the needle" task, but rather a "needs-to-be-done" task. Automate it now!

2) I have a growth idea I want to try. I do it manually once (even if it takes me a few hours), I identify each step carefully and evaluate the results. Is it promising? Automate it! Rerun it for a few weeks, and keep iterating on the results. Make sure it doesn't take the same time for you, you need to move fast!

LogSnag — Product Analytics for your SaaS, take the pulse of your product!

What we like: Shayan made something pretty cool here. With LogSnag, you can track every inch of your product, and quickly take its pulse. You can monitor, for example, any user activity (upgrades, payments, created profiles and so on), and turn them into valuable analytics. The second coolest thing: it's integrated with Bubble, so if you're building with no code, this is for you too. Pricing is affordable with a free plan, and then $16 for 50,000 events. I'd recommend using that one if you already have a good user base!
