Current status: cup of tea in the garden. Reading a 2007 book I bought in 2012, about some software first released in 1995 handling a 1981 protocol that I'm going to use as the cornerstone of my teeny tiny SaaS in 2024.
May we all have such a long-term effect on the world!
I've started actively working on a tiny #SaaS whose user interface is #SFTP. Please do your best to convince me I'm making a silly mistake - I either need to be dissuaded ... or to make it happen 🤔 #Startup#SoftwareDevelopment#bootstrapping
Using global query scopes for simple one-to-many tenancy.
Code example of a #Laravel cat pension #SaaS app I've started and never finished. It's structured like this:
A user belongs to a pension
A pension has many clients
A client has many animals
Users (cat pension owners and their employees) can only view clients and animals from the same pension. Global query scopes ensure this rule is consistently applied throughout the app without accidentally forgetting it somewhere in your code.

> "I guess that makes MINIX the most widely used computer operating system in the world, even more than Windows, Linux, or MacOS."
The SSPL being akin to that of the AGPL avoids that sort of dreadful situation, ensuring protections for the end users that not even the GPL affords them where #SaaS is concerned ;)

#Microsoft#Publisher is getting full-on deprecated in 2026. Another example of the huge downsides to #SaaS and proprietary software: you don't control your software at all, so the vendor can pull it whenever they feel like and you can't do anything with those files ever again.
