How They Came Up With The Idea

Alexandro came up with the initial idea for SaasRock after 8 years of being a developer. He built multiple web apps using C#, Vue, .Net, and Tailwind CSS. Alexandro felt like his web development process was too slow because of the multiple stacks he was using. He migrated my Vue2 app to Vue3, then to React, and then to Svelte to create a similar boilerplate but with different frontends. With this in mind, he started looking for tools to speed up his web development process.

How They Built The First Version

He built the first version of SaasRock in 7 days after finding Remix.Run – a full-stack JavaScript framework for building web apps. He tweeted about his building process and was retweeted by Remix.Run’s account, which netted 1,066 downloads (and potential customers). He released v0.0.1 for free for 24 hours. 24 hours after launch, he increased his price to $299 and reached 19 customers in 1 month. 2 months later, he switched his pricing model from $299 to two tiers: - $99/month for core features - $149/month for core + enterprise features He got his first $99 subscriber just two days after launch and has grown to $2,778 MRR
