An empty state is one of the most underrated screens in SaaS.
A new user signs up.
Opens a feature.
And sees... nothing.
No data. No direction. No idea what to do next.
Don't just tell users there's no data yet.
Show them how to get started, what they'll unlock, and what their first successful action looks like.
A saas idea can be technically solid and still be a bad business.
You can build the backend, integrate the APIs, automate the workflows, and deploy everything perfectly.
But none of that proves someone will pay for it.
Something I've been thinking about recently:
What if we sold the solution before building the product?
Start with one specific problem. Solve it manually or with a small automation. Find a few customers willing to pay for the outcome.
Then build the software around what they actually need.
Less time building features nobody asked for. More time solving problems people already have.
Sometimes the smartest technical decision is not to write code yet.
