Waiting List and Feedback Process with Tally:
How We Set it Up at Anycursor

For small teams of indie hackers building micro SaaS products, efficiency and effectiveness are critical. At Anycursor, we understand the importance of managing crucial processes seamlessly, which is why we've turned to Tally as our go-to tool for a range of essential operations.

In this blog post, we'll delve into how Tally has become an indispensable part of our daily work.

Building Our Waiting List

At Anycursor, we seek to connect with early adopters and potential users who share our vision. Tally has proven to be an invaluable asset in this regard. We use it to collect submissions and early testers' information for our waiting list. The simplicity and user-friendliness of Tally make it a breeze for our users to sign up, ensuring a smooth onboarding experience for them.

We ask for basic information such as name and email as mandatory fields. But there’s also an optional question about the tools the user already uses: that helps us prioritize which integrations we should build next.

Forging Partnerships

Collaboration is key in the SaaS ecosystem. Anycursor is no exception, and we seek partners who want to build their apps on top of our platform. Through Tally, we collect inquiries from potential partners, streamlining the process of identifying and initiating conversations with those who align with our goals.

The flexibility of Tally allows us to customize forms and fields, ensuring we gather the right information from prospective collaborators. We ask the product URL and authentication technology, to quickly get an idea of how the integration could look like, before starting any conversations.

Collecting User Feedback

Feedback is the lifeblood of any successful product. Anycursor relies on the valuable insights we receive from our users. Tally plays a pivotal role in this aspect by helping us collect feedback in various forms:

  • Bugs and Incompatibilities: Tally allows users to report bugs and compatibility issues effortlessly. This immediate feedback loop helps us pinpoint and address issues promptly.
  • Feature Requests: Users often have innovative ideas to enhance our platform. Tally's ease of use encourages users to submit feature requests, ensuring that no brilliant suggestion goes unnoticed.
  • Net Promoter Score (NPS): To gauge user satisfaction, we use Tally to collect NPS ratings. This quantitative data enables us to measure and improve user loyalty.

Seamless Data Integration

Once we've collected valuable data through Tally, we need a central hub for organizing and prioritizing it. Our choice for this task is Notion. Tally seamlessly pushes the collected data into our Notion workspace, where we've set up a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system and a task backlog using databases.

This integration ensures that we have access to real-time data, facilitating quick decision-making and prioritization of tasks.

Why Tally?

There are many products to build forms or specialized solutions for feedback management in the market. In our opinion, Tally stands out for several reasons:

  • Features: Tally offers a rich set of features that perfectly align with our diverse needs. And you can get most of the value from their free plan if you’re on a budget.
  • Fast setup: We built the forms in Tally and integrated them with Anycursor’s website and Notion in just a few hours.
  • Flexibility: As we operate in a dynamic market, our needs evolve over time. Tally's flexibility allows us to adapt our forms and data collection methods as our processes change.

In conclusion, at Anycursor, Tally has proven to be an indispensable tool that streamlines our critical processes, whether it's building our waiting list, forging partnerships, or harnessing user feedback. We think Tally should be a staple in the tool stack of every indie hacker.
