How are you going to monetize it? Your site has no mention of pricing.
- simonw 3y agoI'm going to charge organizations a monthly fee for using the hosted SaaS service. Implementing billing and setting pricing is next on my TODO list!
- codetrotter 3y agoWill the billing system itself also be an open source plug-in for datasette? :D
- simonw 3y agoSadly not, it's going to be a Stripe subscription management dashboard!
- TX81Z 3y agoSo now you have to manage both the core software and the hosted version. Whereas your competitor just needs to build a hosted version, use the core you provide for free, thereby having a fraction of the expense and the ability to undercut you on price. You have to realize going in that once you try to monetize your open source, some of your users become your competitors. They’ll tell you how great you are, while cashing checks off your hard work.
