Awesome! I wish you had started this 18 months ago when I needed something like this. I wanted something like shopify but for a SAAS and the closest I came was consultants. As perhaps helpful feedback, it would be essential that there's an open source version so that I don't feel trapped but I'm not sure how you can monetise that enough. I probably wouldn't have paid for consulting. I have seen some open source projects that delay the open source release vs commercial, that might have got me to pay. Or premium add-ons. Anyway, just wanted to let you know, this was a bleeding neck problem I had, but now that I'm 18 months into writing my own app and platform. (Half the work has been boring infra that doesn't advance the business.) Good luck!
- scosman 3y agoNo monetization goal here. I needed it myself for another project, so built it and open sourced it. Hopefully folks find it useful; if it drives a bit of traffic to the sponsor project (https://criticalmoments.io https://criticalmoments.io), all the better. I'll keep maintaining it just because I'm maintaining it for myself anyways.
- RyanHamilton 3y agoIf I was going to use this, I'd want you to monetise it. As I'd want someone incentivised to keep making the boring parts working and updated.
- scosman 3y agoThere are a bunch of those out there. They abstract out the frameworks, and end up with scaffolding systems on top you need to learn (so they can update core without impacting your project). Which is fine if that's what you want. This is more of a true template for hacker types. Fork it and run. Save a week or two on the basics. Start with a solid stack. I'll keep the dependencies up to date and it running, but make it your own.
