  • hof

    Framework that joins data models, schemas, code generation, and a task engine. Language and technology agnostic.

  • Having built something similar, the biggest challenge for users is that they have to use a bespoke language, like WASP here. I suspect that it is also your biggest challenge as well.

    Mine is built on CUE, which at least has the potential to become a more widely used language. CUE hasn't reached sufficient maturity for broader adoption yet, so I continue to face this same problem.

  • coverlettergpt

    Generate Cover Letters based on Job Description and your Resumé. Manage jobs and applications. Get Hired. Have fun. Be cool. Go to School.

  • Open SaaS is still very new, but there are a couple that used the "old" version of it, which basically gave us an idea for Open SaaS. For example:

    - CoverLetterGPT (https://coverlettergpt.xyz/) - generate a cover letter based on your CV and job description

    - Etsy description generator (this one even got acquired): https://dev.to/wasp/from-idea-to-exit-building-and-selling-a...

  • wasp

    The fastest way to develop full-stack web apps with React & Node.js.

  • Yes, there is already a (good) SaaS template for Ruby on Rails called Bullet Train (https://bullettrain.co), so it might be helpful to distinguish yours as the JS-oriented option.

    Your in good company, though, as your MVC framework of choice states that it is a "Rails-like" framework (https://wasp-lang.dev).

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
