I'm working on building several SaaS and micro SaaS as we close out 2024 and head into 2025. These are the tools I'm choosing to ship fast and have a great developer experience.
Frameworks
I picked up Remix in 2024 and instantly loved how easy it was to get to work. It makes it super easy to load in data and use server actions. If you've primarily been a frontend dev and want to get more into full-stack JS, this is a great way to do it.

Landing Pages
I rolled my own landing page for get you up and running so so quickly with a beautiful page that is easy to update. I'd rather use tools like this that help you get pretty sites shipped quickly, validate the product idea, then get to work actually building the app. Its too easy to waste hours or days polishing the pixels and massaging the css when you really should be working on the actual product.
SEO
Learning about how to rank in Google and get organic traffic to my sites is something I didn't know much about until this year. While I was figuring out how to get customers to my pages I found this article and it was incredible. He takes you on an over the shoulder video tour of how he does demand driven development. I learned how to do keyword research, check on competitors, find out what they are ranking (or not ranking for) and to identify opportunities. I highly recommend it. My link here is an affiliate link, but if you don't want to use it still buy the course.
At Danny's recommendation I started to use Ahrefs for my SEO tool of choice. My initial impressions have been that its very feature rich and the Starter plan includes enough of what you need to get started before needing to upgrade to a bigger plan.
