Show HN: Built my own license key system, now facing the pricing dilemma
I was in the same situation, and considered https://keygen.sh, but realized implementing one myself is probably faster than trying to integrate a third-party platform.
So, I ended up creating my own system, quite simple, in Node.js + MongoDB, and then I can add whatever integrations I need (currently I only needed Paddle).

Ask HN: What is your profitable one-person-SaaS?
I run https://keygen.sh. I don't share revenue figures anymore, but it's very profitable these days. I'm still (mostly) solo on it (I currently have a couple firms/consultants helping me push a handful of projects forward right now), but I'm evaluating this year whether or not I want to continue going solo; lots of work to do, and I can only do so much.

Ask HN: Alternatives to Gumroad for "Software Licenses"?
Long term HN user @ezekg also runs this https://keygen.sh/ if that might suit your needs (i.e. if you want to separate out licensing logic from the payment logic)

Ask HN: Who is hiring? (June 2024)
Keygen | Front-end Engineer | Full- or part-time | Remote (US only) | https://keygen.sh
Keygen is an open, source-available software licensing and distribution API built and run by myself. I'm a bit stretched thin in terms of front-end and support. I have a big front-end redesign code-named Portal on the roadmap that I haven't been able to make much progress on over the last couple years. I'm looking for somebody to help take that off my plate. You'd be the company's first hire, and would work directly with me, the founder. You'd be working out in the open, as the Portal app will be open sourced under an MIT license.
Looking for engineers that are familiar with TypeScript and React that can entirely own the app.
To apply, shoot an email to zeke@.

Ask HN: Founders who offer free/OS and paid SaaS, how do you manage your code?
Absolutely lovely website you have at https://keygen.sh/
Did you write that as well or outsource it?

Keygen: Open-Source Software Licensing
Took me a bit to realize it's licensing as in managing enterprise license keys 'C1B6DE-39A6E3...', not licensing as in MIT/GPL/etc. https://keygen.sh/
Does anyone know a minimal, alternative licensing solution appropriate for a tiny startup? One where the license key is the only form of user authentication. Is there a cheap service available? Or is it easy to roll a custom solution.

"Useless Ruby sugar": Pattern matching (Pt. 1)
I don't have an Elixir background, but I absolutely utilize pattern matching in my Ruby code bases:
- https://github.com/keygen-sh/typed_params/blob/4e4982b7d2b26...
- https://github.com/keygen-sh/typed_params/blob/4e4982b7d2b26...
- https://github.com/keygen-sh/keygen-api/blob/master/app/migr...
- https://github.com/keygen-sh/keygen-api/blob/36cd61db143cc1c...
- https://github.com/keygen-sh/typed_params/blob/4e4982b7d2b26...
I love it. I want even more pattern matching too, like with defp: https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19764.

I don’t buy “duplication is cheaper than the wrong abstraction” (2021)
Honestly, I don't have many resources to provide. I read a lot of policy tests via GitHub search (e.g. path:spec/policies/*/*.rb), but couldn't find anything that looked like what I wanted. I wrote the DSL as-needed in order to fully test my app's authz while migrating from Pundit to ActionPolicy.
It's not the prettiest when you actually look beneath the covers [0], but it does what I wanted -- provides a way to write exhaustive authz tests. Without the DSL, I probably wouldn't have written. The PR for said migration was massive [1], and was a precursor to going open source [2].
