Fellow solo SaaS owner here.

I'm only part way through reading all of your linked articles, and so far they're absolutely great!

Just wanted to say thanks for collecting and sharing.

haha thanks. i collect it for my paid community #shamelessplug https://codingcareer.circle.so/c/creators-mastermind a small group of fellow creators and indiehackers here. i started with an infoproduct myself (made $120k so far, def recommend it to everyone before tackling your own SaaS), looking to work my way up to saas someday but am being patient with it.

Working through her toolchain, step by step, looks like it might be a gentle way for me to finally wean myself off the Arduino platform.

If you have a personal project in Arduino that you really like, I'd suggest trying to get that running on a bare metal dev environment, As opposed to trying with a brand-new project.

In a previous job, we used Arduino (environment+boards) to quickly spin up prototypes and testing new peripherals, then moved them over to bare metal (avr-gcc+Makefiles, custom PCB) for our production.

And if it's not too demanding a project, give this a go with AVR first, it's much simpler to move to bare metal than with ARM. Feel free to email with any questions.

ooh also check out kinopio, a tool that I've recently fallen in love with

Jen built https://lunchmoney.app (a budgeting and personal finances tracking app with a great UX) all by herself.

I love Lunchmoney but it pains me that roll over budgeting is not supported yet. It feels like the perfect personal budgeting tool for me only missing one very critical feature.

Great list. Another meta-entry to your list:
