an open-source archive of failed saas projects, sharing honest post-mortems, lessons learned, and source code so others can build smarter next time.
people can fork the repo, create a pull request, and add their own story to the repo so it shows up in the website
people always share stories about their successes but never about their failures, even when you can honestly learn more from failures.
saasheaven is an open source website where you can create a pull request to add your own story, and all failed saas stories show up in the post-mortems page of the website
it was my first collaborative open source project, and although i haven’t gotten any pull requests, i got over 60 stars and 1k website visits, definitely something i didn’t expect
added ad slots (in one i advertise my newsletter)
added metadata + favicon + opengraph data
made the code more readable
checked out analytics from last week and apparently i got over 1k website visitors in a week

added an api to fetch all post-mortems and a specific post-mortem

had an idea, built a simple landing page, made a github api so that the repo acts as a database for all the post-mortems, then hosted
sadly i don’t think hackatime worked properly and i didn’t get all the time recorded
