Wow this is relevant to me right now and I would love any (probably a bit blind to you) opinions:
We are thinking of applying for a political accelerator. Probably a long shot but who knows and IDK even know if I want to spent near 100% of my time on something like this.
But this is exactly my concern - that maybe we don't have enough of an 'app'?
Right now the functionality sits inside a plugin on a 3rd party service. It's pretty full featured though replicating features of another standalone organizing app but within a different context.
This is also building tools on top of cross-platform messaging so that's also relying on more 3rd parties - FB particularly i think probably could get rid of Messenger API they keep restricting it gradually. But the others are more stable and email/sms/chat will always be open. Read hear all the time don't base 100% of your business on FB... Which this isn't but still it's a big value of it.
I also built other organizing tools that work together with this that might expand features to be more of a multi-product, but again probably 50% of that is built to work with another 3rd party SaaS!
