- SaaS products should focus on doing one thing well, like UNIX tools, rather than adding too many features.
- Micro-SaaS is a niche-market SaaS run by one person or a small team, with narrow focus, minimal costs, and no outside funding.
- Keygen intentionally does not handle billing because it is not its niche; it focuses solely on licensing.
- Customers can compose Keygen with other SaaS tools (e.g., billing, analytics) via webhooks, similar to the UNIX pipe operator.
- Focusing on one thing leads to sustainability, better relationships with other companies, and avoids the need for constant feature parity.
- Webhooks are essential for enabling composability between different SaaS products.
