Hey all!
I'm Michael and you might know me from previous community events on r/django - such as this, this or this one.

I see a lot of posts here on r/SaaS about success stories, so I thought about switching it up for a change. Of course, I have my own success stories, but this post is not for that.
After years of building SaaS products for the real estate/rental business, I grew a bit tired. It was then when I realized, teaching is much more fulfilling for me. I made (and still make) enough money to last a lifetime, so I'm under no pressure to "make this work".
With micro SaaS business blooming and dying daily, you might find my approach more appealing. I sell to individual and bigger clients, creating custom SaaS solutions that fit their business needs perfectly. These clients will depend on your software and can realistically not move away. As a matter of fact, I only ever lost one client, and that was to a bankruptcy of the parent company.
I talk about a lot of things related to this business style and am happy to answer questions on the streams.
As some sort of credibility, I did this in the past with great and overwhelmingly positive feedback. With live streams that were over 6 hours long. Here's a VoD from one of them, the others are on the channel as well.

Our next event with all interested django/SaaS developers will span over some time, beginning tomorrow.
The plan is to develop the best django boilerplate for SaaS products there is. Community members responded with requirements to this blog post and on discord/twitter. I claim it will be the best because I want to create it with as many voices as possible - thus the live stream. I will interact with any viewer, as I did the last streams.
The first live stream with be on Monday at 09:00 CEST, but Twitch will show it in your local time zone. The second fixed time is the following Thursday.
I understand that the time zone might be difficult for some. VoDs will be available on YouTube for everyone to watch later.

The planned structure for the first stream will be as follows:

I hope a lot of you people will show up on one channel or another! You can of course also join us on discord for the planning and usual interactions!
Here is also a link list for all the community channels if you are only interested in some:
Please ask away any and all questions, and I'll do my best to respond to all of them.
Think this is a bad idea or project? Tell me why!

The planned structure for the first stream will be as follows:
- quick intro about myself for all those that are new to the streams, like the SaaS product I sold to Airbnb and my other companies
- minimal feature set for the boilerplate, overview is here
- review of sent-in requirements from the community
- creation of a detailed feature list in github
- talk about considerations when developing and operating a (successful) SaaS product
- different types of hosting, benefits and choice for our product
- development with very detailed commentary about how things are done "properly"

However, I don't know the Python ecosystem and if there is a lot of boilerplates.
