Today's newsletter is proudly supported by ReactSquad 🎉

Looking for an experienced React developer who doesn't need to be micro-managed? I decided to partner with ReactSquad after experiencing first-hand how hard it was to hire a reliable engineer without paying Silicon Valley salary rates. All you have to do is tell them about who you're looking for, they'll find a match within 24 hours, interview your match, and then start your 7-day free trial. There's no minimum commitment and if you're not happy, they'll find a replacement for free. Make sure to mention "Corey" or "Swipe Files."

Idea 💡

Build on top of SaaS platforms where you can get listed in their app store marketplaces.

"Build it and they will come" is largely a myth... except for when you've built on top of a platform that has significant traffic to their app marketplace.

Here's a list of 68 to consider as well as a cool site that has a pretty comprehensive list.
