June 25, 2026 I'm assembling a book of honest indie SaaS teardowns — and I'm starting from zero

Every "how I made $X" post I actually learn from leaves out the same stuff: the actual numbers and the dead ends. Then the thread disappears, and six months later the next founder is starting from scratch.

I'm trying to fix that with a book. Founders would each break down one small SaaS they actually shipped: the pricing they got wrong, the channel that flopped, the first customer who paid, the churn, and what they'd do differently. You don't have to be a writer. An editor and a writer help shape it into a clean chapter, and you approve every word. Contributors keep their copyright and a share of what it makes. For the first books, the platform takes 0%.

Nobody's signed on yet. I'm still at zero contributors, and I'll post the real numbers as they come in.

If you've shipped a small SaaS, would you write the real version down, with the numbers? If not, what would actually stop you?

ThePeopleBook lets you write a book as a team. Most people know something worth writing down but can't write a whole book alone. So we pair them with writers and editors to make one real book.
