About bigZ
Booking software built by someone who actually uses it.
Hey, I'm Dan. Solo dev. I build things that just work.
I got tired of booking software that felt like it was designed by people who've never had to actually run a business. Too many features nobody asked for. Too few that actually matter. And always that slightly-off UI that makes you question your life choices.
So I built bigZ. Not because the world needed another SaaS product, but because I needed something that didn't suck. Something I'd actually want to use every day.
“I'm passionate about shit that just works – and surfing. Not just on the web.”
bigZ is opinionated. It doesn't try to be everything for everyone. It does one thing well: help activity providers (surf schools, yoga studios, whatever) manage bookings without wanting to throw their laptop out the window.
Every feature exists because I needed it. Every design decision comes from actually using this thing day in, day out. No feature committees. No product managers. Just real problems, real solutions.
The philosophy
- 01Simple over clever. If it needs a tutorial, it's probably wrong.
- 02Fast over flashy. Your time is worth more than animations.
- 03Honest over polished. I'd rather tell you what we can't do than pretend.
