I am about to release the MVP of my first ever Saas product which (hopefully!) will have paying customers. I know I'll need to deal with the business sides of things at some point - form a company, create a company bank account, track money in/out for tax purposes. Should I do all of this before getting a paying customer? Or afterwards..?
The MVP philosophy would surely be afterwards but perhaps for legal reasons this is undesirable. What did you guys do?
Payment gateways don't seem to cater to this - except Stripe which only supports US debit cards.
Does anyone know any examples of highly-configurable user accounts in some website where the UI is still simple and intuitive? Free or paid, I can sub for a month to check them out. Thanks.
There is often the suggestion that people with small niche projects will lurk and not contribute to those threads for fear that someone might compete with them - that they have some secret market which the rest of us don't even know about.
I'm interested in hearing from HN users in this situation who without talking explicitly about their business/domain/niche can talk about how they came to capture some small niche in its entirety and monetise it.
Anyone?
I don't want to spend lots of money but I do want to a) validate my idea and b) get feedback to orientate development going forward.
Any strategies for working with someone like that? Or any stories about working with such people?
I have noticed that I write significantly fewer for my side projects. Is this normal or am I being lazy/reckless?
I created a different facebook login through which I have repeatedly reported my dead account asking for it to be deleted, to no avail. This was expected until..
Enter GDPR. I am in the UK, I am fairly sure they have to delete my data upon request. All good, but how can I actually prove that I own the profile without my login/being able to receive emails? It's me in all the photos of course, but I doubt that's going to get my request processed..
Has anyone else been in this situation?
Running a non-minuscule Windows VM in Azure seems to cost around $90 per month which seems pricey to me, when that over the course of a year would pay for a server with similar spec twice over. But, I don't want to touch a physical machine here.
Is hosting multiple sites on a dedicated VM the wrong approach here? Anyone else running multiple sites on windows have a better hosting solution?
