Using Bubble or Webflow for creating social networks and Saas.

Hello !
I am the founder of a niche social network that I created ad-hoc for my professional community. In the process I found a client interested in the solution, and we're doing our own paid pilot which is great.

This got me thinking about going the SAAS route about a possible revenue stream.

But, the code base I am on right is kinda decaying and I had quite a lot of bad lucks with my previous developers.

Structure wise its so bad my actual dev don't want to work with it anymore and wants to re-write it all. (Not even refactoring)

Challenge:
This would cost a lot of money (I don't have now) and take many months.

It leaves me with 2 options:

  • trying to sell many licenses in the meantime and redo it all.
  • or try the no-code route (with custom dev modification) to rebuild the app, get more traction on Saas and when I have more recurring revenue and visibility re-invest to build it with code for better stability.

Question, is this possible to do "niche" Social platforms and then distribute it as Saas (Whitelabel type) for specific clients ?

May be this too complex already and not worth it.
Would love some opinion from people having gone on the No-code journey.

Thanks !
