Product Highlights

RapidForms by @sidi_jeddou_dev: Create shareable and embeddable online forms like newsletter, waitlist, and contacts that look great with no effort or coding skills. Pricing started at $99 and could increase to $568 based on sales.

This newsletter will have soon have a companion website, that will serve as a long term archive for the products we’ve found, but in will make it much easier to search and browse just the product you’re looking for.

At the start only the the editors will have the ability to add products, but we’ll be adding a way for users to submit and manage their listings. A sneak peek for the website can be seen below…

If you have any suggestions for the ONCE newsletter or the website please drop me a reply, I’d love to hear them.

Cheers,
