Hi awesome Hacker News folks! I just launched SaaS Manual and thought to share this with you. Here is why I started SaaS Manual:
I've been building SaaS products for a number of years now. I was part of Cloud9 which got acquired by AWS in my last adventure. On this journey, I have learned a lot, and the number of topics you can dive into in the SaaS world is pretty crazy. So I thought to share this knowledge and insight with you.
The problem:
Many courses, books, or tutorials teach individual topics. And complete examples often don't go beyond the TODO list. But there is so much more. And there are so many questions I always wondered about: How do things really look like under the hood? What does it really take to operate a service? How messy is the system? Do they have dashboards? What happens when a service goes down? Can it scale? How do they deploy? How many repositories do they have? And the list goes on.
The solution:
SaaS Manual teaches you all of this. And I am teaching this by building SaaS Manual itself. SaaS Manual will become a fully-fledged product. Call it a learning platform. With accounts, billing, a public/private API, static and dynamic pages, a CDN, infrastructure as code, CI/CD, serverless and so much more. And you can join this journey from the beginning: a simple Notion page.
Looking forward to hear your thoughts, feedback, ideas, comments!
We feel your pain and are very very close to launching new payment plans and support for different payment methods. Please stay tuned and thanks for the comment!
