Hey-ho!
I'm so thrilled to announce that the MVP I was building in this series is alive now!
This is where you can register (no CC required) and create your own board for collecting feedback from your customers. After the registration, you have 2 weeks to try the service (up to 3 boards).

Note. After you create an account as board admins you can access your own board without registration and also our feedback board to leave feedback or report a bug.

Okay, now I would like to tell you what I was doing these 5 days.
First of all, I created a Stripe account and linked it to the service. The Stripe integration is already implemented in the SaaS boilerplate but it still required some additional coding as every project has its own rules to control access to functions depending on the selected plan.

After finishing local testing and fixing a million bugs, I was ready to deploy. I created a new AWS account and deploy the board admin application there. I obtained the SSL certificate from them and connect the AWS Url with the subdomain, then the admin board was ready.

Then it was time to deploy the second application, end-user board and it was not so easy because I had to handle any possible subdomains. I also obtain the wild card SSL certificate and created a DNS link for wild card subdomains. It took some time but finally, I made it work.

Then I created my own account, boards, and started testing in real life. Oh boy, how many bugs I missed and had to be fixed! I wonder why testing locally is always, always so different :))))))) I improved the design, styles, responsiveness, page titles and many other small things that look pretty annoying when not working. But now, I think I fixed 95% of them :)) still testing.

Time spent: 14 hours
Total time spent so far: 92.5 hours

Thanks! As I finished and launched MPV I think it's time to finish this series.
I'm going to recap my experience and write an article. If you have any questions or you want me to touch anything you are interested to know about, please comment here.

Thanks, everyone!
