First time poster here, a marketing/demand gen person coming from a mobile app launching this summer. I am curious, what does your go-to-market tech stack look like? I am responsible for identifying and building out the systems needed to shape and guide users from awareness through download, retention and (hopefully) advocacy, as well as analyze and segment based on behavior.
Every day, the PH feed is packed with shiny new SaaS tools most of them browser-based, many of them AI-infused. It s exciting, no doubt. But compared to a time not so long ago, something seems missing: local desktop apps.
They re rare now, and it makes me wonder are native apps still worth building, or have they quietly slipped into the realm of nostalgia?
After all, web apps offer clear benefits for both users and makers or investors. Users don t have to install anything, updates are seamless, and their data is accessible from any device with a browser. For investors, the advantages are just as compelling: a single tech stack, easier user onboarding, lock-in effects, and plenty of levers for driving growth and virality.
We always hear about the big, popular productivity tools but I m more interested in the quiet game-changers. The tools that aren t in every headline but made a huge difference in how you work or build.
