I created a small, but profitable one-person SaaS app with 4k+ monthly active users based on Firebase and want to share the experience.
Like many developers, I always wanted to build my own small SaaS app, which can be an additional source of earnings. Two years ago I created MVP based on Firebase, GCP, and Angular. Each month I do some updates and add new features. Now more than 800 teams use my app on regular basis and I want to share my experience with used technologies.
