MVP product using Wowed and Suprabase

Hey all,

I’m working on creating an MVP for an online will generator. The idea is that users can complete a form to create a legally valid will, sign it electronically, and store it securely. I’m not a developer myself, so I’m trying to make this happen with as few technical barriers as possible.

Right now, I’m considering using WeWeb for the front end and Supabase for the backend (handling user data, authentication, etc.). I like the idea of WeWeb because it seems user-friendly and flexible, and Supabase seems to offer the data security I need.

Does this sound like a good approach for an MVP? Are there any potential issues I should watch out for, or maybe better alternatives that could simplify things? Any tips on handling things like conditional logic in the form or integrating with e-signature tools would be super helpful too.

Thanks

Hello hello, first of all, welcome to the community. By reading about your usecase, I really think you made a great choice by going with WeWeb as it offers the most flexbility among the no-code tools.

Supabase is a really solid choice as well, but I tend to advice people to consider whether they are ready for the commitment that it brings. In terms of no-code, even though WeWeb has a fantastic integration that lets you do a lot, you still might need to code in order to use Supabase, or you’ll need to introduce one more tool into your toolbelt, something like a no-code API builder, like Buildship, or Fastgen to handle the heavy lifting when it comes to more complex business logic.

While I really love Supabase, during the years I spent consulting in this no-code space, I understood that it is not for everyone, especially if you don’t feel comfortable touching code, even though there is alternative solutions, such as using it with Buildship to “avoid the code”.

Supabase is really powerful, safe and production grade, and the costs are simply unbeatable. The second best option is Xano, which while way more expensive, offers everything you need to handle your business logic and database, and this is what I usually tend to lean towards for people who come to me to consult and don’t want to deal with code almost at all.

I think you might have some more research to do, e.g the legal binding of the e-signatures, and the e-signature requirements so it actually is legally binding, as I’m sure there is some things that might be “industry specific”. Overall I think you’re on the right path to approach this MVP project and your niche is really nice, I feel though that you might need to plan a little more, which is what I always suggest to everyone.

If you’d like to dive a little deeper, or stil have doubts about things in the no-code space, e.g what tool would be the best, I also offer 1:1 consulting, where very often people come to me with questions like the ones I answered for you above, but we dive a little deeper into the specific project’s needs. Very often the no-code founders who come to me end up with a whole different plan/POV on how they’re gonna be building their apps, so I think the few bucks might be worth the hundreds saved in the long run.

If the consulting doesn’t cut it for you, you might try asking in my community Brocode Land where I have founders of no-code agencies but also no-code founders like you and of course people who build no-code apps for living.

Wills and some other docs like power of attorney need a licensed notary here in the usa in order to be completed. The will for example would need a notary and two other witnesses for the signing. In addition multiple forms of ID are needed to initiate the signing process and it cannot be pre-signed before this event. You could do what you are suggesting and just save the signing till after forms are printed and done in real life. Xano and weweb would work for this, but I wonder if it’s over complicating a simple task you could do with something like Feathery.io or another forms builder website that allows logic
