Is there a micro-SaaS application in your head that you would have loved to work on, but you’re too busy/can’t program, and you’re willing to fund it?

    Why would someone write some software as a service for themselve? You wouldn’t need to pay for it. It only becomes a service if somebody else wrote it and you pay for it on an ongoing basis. Your question does not make any sense. But let me address your actual point: If you want to find the next big idea, try to solve something you need yourself. Don’t fish for something somebody else already came up with.

      I am in this sentence and I feel offended. 🙃

      Honestly: I usually plan and create my web applications with SaaS in mind. It’s Docker-first, it has some type of API, and there are is a concept of different users (where applicable). I run them as if I was a customer, with a limited user account.

      Some most a lot basically all of it either never gets officially released nor has any other users than myself, though.

      Contradicting yourselves in the next sentence, aren’t you?

      Not looking at a for-profit idea. It could be an open-source software, obviously, it requires some funding to go big. Like, a better mental-health tracking app that integrates with phone usage.
