I was able to bootstrap a SaaS business by working as a contract engineer half to three quarters time and building my company in the remaining time. I lowered expenses by moving in with family and eventually to SE Asia until profitability. This meant I had infinite runway but also it took longer . I prototyped for six months and then ran/tested the service for free for almost two years before it was ready for paid plans. Then it went from 0 to ~15k MRR in the first month. A couple of tricks like requiring Dropbox connection for users file storage and utilizing webrtc’s p2p capabilities helped keep running expenses manageable during the lead up to profitability.

Not ergonomically if you have an average hand size.

Interesting. Could you be more specific about where your pain was located? Was it in you arms or wrists?

I'm really happy about the return of the SE sized phone. I had been planning buy used SE's if I needed a replacement of my current one. I've got an iPad Mini that I can take with me if I want a bigger screen. When I don't, it's really nice to have a compact and capable phone that you don't need two hands to use.

Worth noting that simple-peer has a companion library simple-signal for the signaling side.

Also it’s nearly impossible to contain a cat that is motivated to explore

I’m a bit wary of this idea but I can’t say I haven’t wished for it many times when my wrists are in pain and a deadline is looming so I can’t take a recovery break.

I recall reading an article recently about city birds using butts in their nests to ward off insects.

Yeah, they were mountain bikes. Seems crazy to me that you have to spend $1000+ just to get something usable. Ah well... :P

Its been awhile and I can't really remember. I spent about 700 on the bike so I thought it would have decent components. Maybe you have to spend more?
