I might be wrong, but SaaS is a business model, not a technology or SaaS is not just web-based apps.

Well, there are online only photo editing tools, but yeah, most still go for Photoshop.

The tool I am working on is mostly focused on analytics and data analysis, so even if the main target market is marketers I would not compare it to mailchimp or buffer.

Linux comes for free as the tool is developed using Qt & C++, but yes, probably not a top platform for marketers.

thanks for the links! All very interesting and it's kind of reassuring to know I was not the only one worrying about this (and the general positive attitude)

from the ask-hn dept.

I am currently working on a tool for marketers which is a "traditional" software application for Windows, OS X and Linux.Checking Product Hunt, Hacker News and Reddit I have the feeling everything B2B is web based these days. Is that true?Shall I be worried I am working on a project which is already dead before even announcing it?

a good salary is definitely appealing, but if I like the job (and I am searching) I am going to apply no matter if they disclose the salary upfront or not
