It sounds like you're pre-idea, so one suggestion is to avoid building a "mission critical" type of idea if your desire is to stay solo and not be chained to your laptop...
I run a small SaaS where I had a decision early on to pursue a live chat-based approach to the UX versus an asynchronous approach. A big reason I chose the latter was to avoid the need for 24/7 "real-time" support in favor of a better lifestyle, even though the live version likely would have garnered more customers.
- exctaticraz 6y agoThanks for the response. I’m currently toying with an idea, and it’s nothing mission critical, so I’m good on that front. How “chained to your desk” would you say you are? Are there ever any times where you truly clock off?
- tchock23 6y agoI don't feel weighed down all that much. I'm not at the "go on an extended backpacking trip with no internet" stage, but I can go for a solid day or so before I get the urge to do a quick check in on the app. I picked the most "boring" setup I could for a backend and host everything on Heroku, which costs me more but provides a little more peace of mind relative to other setups I've seen.
- exctaticraz 6y agoSounds like a good setup to me. I think I’ll follow your lead. Congrats on the success so far!
