    Thanks for posting @Wyeem!

    Progress has been steady since we did the interview in August, more awesome projects starting using Saas UI and still ramen profitable 😍.

    Happy to answer any questions of other Indie Hackers in the comments.

    SaaS UI is great, good job Eelco! I love Chakra (and suck at design haha), with SaaS UI I can build great looking apps much faster. I use it at cloudplane.org and I'll pick up the paid version when I get to redesign some of our backend UI.

      Nice. Just saw Cloudplane. The premise sounds interesting where I can just host/deploy popular apps without worrying about anything.

      Cloudplane seems pretty cool! Is this a recently started project?
