SaaS Blocks 2.0 – tools for building a SaaS app

This is pretty meta. If I understand correctly, this list of SaaS products is aimed at people building a SaaS, ostensibly as a helpful free directory.

But this list is actually a form of content marketing for "Apideck Ecosystem", which--trying to get this right--is a SaaS that sells to SaaSes who want to call attention to how many SaaSes they have in their own ecosystem ("SaaS Integration Marketplace builder"[0]). Phew!

But to evaluate the submission on its own, as a personal project, setting up this page would be a cool achievement. But I don't think there is any value in these list-of-resources "products" that pop up from time to time, especially when so transparently sponsored by a company. Would anyone actually bookmark this site and refer back to it as a source of expertise when they're looking for, say, financial integration tools? Many of the categories have 1 item listed, and there is no value-add discussion of why you'd choose one option or another.

Just a strange submission overall.

When I see sites like this I think of how much money I’m going to lose investing in these tools… :-)

I’d much rather prefer a list of _only_ open source SaaS block tools instead. So I can bootstrap as much as possible.
