In fact the rails3 release is mostly ready. There's a rails3 branch in the customer git repo that will be merged into master in the next week or two.

I'm not quite dead yet! Catch the Best is still kicking, though I've stopped writing blog posts.

Be aware there can be a cost difference if you want to provide SSL to your users. A wildcard SSL cert to cover *.app.com will cost you $200/year, whereas a standard SSL cert to cover just app.com will cost you $20/year. I personally prefer

Yes, self-hosted Rails solution here: http://railskits.com/saas Shameless self-promotion, yes, but it's actually relevant. :)

This is where I have to plug my alternative to rolling your own: http://railskits.com/saas You can use it with Braintree and have complete control over how the billing runs.

I have just published a gem and a sample Rails app that show how you can directly upload to S3, then call the API at uploadjuicer.com: http://github.com/uploadjuicer/

I also recommend them. I used their free one for the admin area of the SaaS Rails Kit, mentioned in another reply. :)

I recently added affiliate tracking to the SaaS Rails Kit as a starting point for tracking payments to affiliates, etc. It's not a full, automated solution of course, but at least you can track it. Generally you can't get that stored card

I'll plug myself here... :) If you are using Rails, take a look at http://railskits.com/saas/ -- a great starting point for your Rails apps to not only do the recurring billing (with Auth.net, Braintree, etc.) but also do account managem

If you can point me at a non-US-friendly vendor that does stored transactions like Braintree's Vault, I'd be happy to work in support for that vendor.

I have to agree with this. I used to recommend TrustCommerce to everyone, but now I recommend BrainTree to everyone, primarily because of their responsiveness. Of course the payment gateway works -- you'd hope that would be a given, regar

Uh, I guess so... if you implement it. :) Kidding aside, you can do whatever you want on top of the base application -- it's a standard Rails app, after all. But what you get "out of the archive" is a bog-standard customer pays $x/mo for a

I just updated the site with more details about the implementation. If you are using restful_authentication, it may be as easy as just making 3 one-line changes to your current user code (lib/authenticated_system.rb and app/models/user.rb)

I think you'll find that the code is very easy to get into and bend to whatever you want to do. I'll toss more details up on the site, soon, though, so hopefully that will help give you a better feel for it.

You can see some of the UI parts in action by creating a free Catch the Best account, since this code was extracted from that project. Feel free to upgrade to a paying plan to see that functionality, too. :) http://catchthebest.com/ I'll
