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!
