SaaSSendScope: Monitoring and Alerting for AWS SES
An all-in-one platform to monitor AWS SES deliverability and receive automatic alerts when something unusual happens. Built after a leaked AWS key got our SES account suspended, blocking all transactional emails, because AWS itself has no workable solution for proactive monitoring.
SaaSSlicekit: A Full-Stack .NET + React SaaS Template You Own
A production-grade SaaS template that ships the boring 80% already built: an event-driven .NET 10 API (vertical slices, DDD, CQRS, messaging) paired with a typed React 19 SPA, plus an Astro marketing site. Passkeys, TOTP, OAuth, granular permissions, a finished admin panel, Stripe billing, a hash-chained audit trail, full observability and CI included. Built because I kept rebuilding the same foundation on every project, and sold once under a commercial license so you own the code.
SaaSStaticForm: Form Backend With Spam Filtering and Full Observability
A SaaS platform that turns any HTML form into a reliable submission pipeline, with 10+ spam checks, complete action logging, failure alerts, and a flat monthly fee that never charges per submission. Built originally to stop rebuilding the same form backend for every client project; now used by developers and agencies managing forms across multiple sites.
