GrantSSH is simple usage-based pricing. First server and first 2 team members are free. After that it’s per server and per team member, with no plans or contracts. https://grantssh.com/pricing

Temporary SSH access should actually be temporary. Give someone access for the project, incident, or maintenance window, then let it expire without relying on calendar reminders. https://grantssh.com/features

We didn’t build GrantSSH because SSH is broken. SSH is great. The messy bit is access: adding/removing people, temporary access, old keys, and knowing who logged in. That’s what we wanted to solve without turning it into an enterprise project. https://grantssh.com/blog/building-grantssh

GrantSSH.com is live 😎 A new way of managing your teams SSH access to servers without the mess of having to manually add and remove them from your authorized_keys files! #buildinpubic #servermanagement

Abstrax is live. An open source CLI for common Linux server admin tasks, built around commands that are easier to remember. Made for developers who manage their own servers and occasionally think: “What was the command again?” Website: useabstrax.com GitHub: github.com/useabstrax/a...

Shipping features is easy. Getting useful feedback isn’t. Early users notice things, but rarely tell you unless it’s simple. sayit.now lets users send clear feedback with annotated screenshots straight from your app. Free to use. #SaaS #productivity #buildinpublic

😍 SayIt.Now is finally live! 🚀 I built this after the feedback tool we relied on shut down and the alternatives were a poor fit. A genuinely useful feedback widget for SaaS founders and #buildinpublic builders focused on actionable feedback. Free to get started! 👉 https://sayit.now

I've had a working proof of concept and a landing page ready to go for a while. A recent conversation spurred me on to get it live 😅. So hop on the waitlist if your interested in some html - to - pdf generation. 🪄 https://generatepdfs.com Should be live in the next few days!

Did a little planning last night... Got my final list that I need to complete, or partially complete for some of them as i've limited the scope of some of them. Now's the time to get on the wait list if you want beta access + exclusive discount code 😎 https://hosted.md #buildinpublic

New post on hosted.md: The Hidden Complexity of Static Site Hosting (And How to Avoid It) I shared the common pain points I’ve hit with static hosting and why I’m building hosted.md to fix them. #buildinpublic #markdown #staticweb 🔗 https://link.hosted.md/HTTbK

🙋‍♂️ Just pushed out a new post talking about Why Markdown is the perfect format for blogging! 👉 https://hosted.md/blog/why-markdown-is-the-perfect-format-for-blogging Would appreciate some 👀 on it if people have 5 minutes! #buildinpublic

Still love that this domain was available, think this could be a really great project! 🤩

Pleased I've gone with a different colour scheme than my usual blue / green, for https://hosted.md The use of red as the primary colour feels like a breath of fresh air for me. #buildinpublic Got to thank @rickmills.uk for the inspiration.

Been a little quiet on here lately...still working away on SayIt.Now, but may have got slightly sidetracked with NativePHP and building out stuff like push notifications, NFC read/write and In App Puchase support 🤩

Took me a while to figure out the best way to let you pick the position of your feedback widget. Came up with this, open to any feedback/criticism! #buildinpublic

Hey #saas builders who are *NOT* using AI in your products - what are you building? Feeling like it's getting harder to hear about awesome products over all the GPT wrappers flooding the place. Think of this as free grounds to pitch your non-AI product to me! #buildinpublic

Back to work tomorrow, but still a bit more time today to tick off a few more tasks for https://sayit.now 💪 #buildinpublic

I think this year might be the year I need to work on actually shipping something on all those domains I've bought over the years....probably need to get on that soon before I add more to the list 👀

Back at your desk for a job you hate? Calling all US based remote VILT stack developers! The company I work for is on the look out for a someone to help us smash the audio + AI market in 2025. https://aiir.com/careers/vilt-stack-developer/ #Laravel

Curious to know if anyones worked with integrating their #saas into something like Zapier or IFTTT (or similar?) if so was it worth it? #buildinpublic

Currently working on getting Slack and Discord integrated into https://sayit.now for notifications. Think this'll cover most usecases but if you can think of any other ways you'd like to be notified of customer feedback let me know! #buildinpublic

Last night I launched Blue Wing! Its also going live on TinyLaunch, a thumbs up would be massively appreciated www.tinylaun.ch/launch/206 Don’t forget to check out Blue Wing for all your Bluesky scheduling needs! It has a free plan to help get started #buildinpublic

One last plug for the https://bluew.ing waitlist! Get on the list and you'll be the first people to use Blue Wing. Plus, if you like what you see, you'll get a nice little discount code to get even more off your subscription (for life) 🔥😎 #buildinpublic

https://bluew.ing is going to be launching sometime next week hopefully! Make sure you're on the waitlist to get an exclusive life time discount for Blue Wing when it launches! #buildinpublic

In an effort to get the widget filesize on sayit.now as tiny as possible for your end users I've been tinkering and tweaking and think I've hit a winner now. Swapped out handlebars template rendering for lodash.template and dropped the filesize down by 65% 💪 #buildinpublic

Another night working on sayit.now, currently trying to figure out the best way to show a preview of your feedback widget as you build it, but before it's been saved. Thinking a nice little livewire component in an iframe might be the best 'MVP' option #buildinpublic
