Weekly Digest #3

Latest News

One of the issues (still to resolve?) for server based ONCE software is having to manage the packaging and delivering the software. SelfHost Pro is aiming to solve this problem.

SelfHost Pro will work for any stack that can be Dockerized including popular frameworks like Laravel, NuxtJS, and Rails. Customers can own your product forever, reduce the dependency on you to manage their data, and seamlessly upgrade to a new version.

I haven’t decided if this newsletter and website will feature just software tools, but a friend on X suggested we include the Small Bets community. Can a community be a tool?!? Price to join is usually $375, but currently discounted to $185.

Limited lifetime deals are another interesting situation. YouForm recently launched as a “affordable Typeform alternative”. For a limited time you can buy the service for a ONCE price of $299. The Pro version is priced $29/month.

Limited lifetime deals likely won’t be added to the website, due to the limited availability, but I will continue to share them in the newsletter.

The website is coming along nicely, 17 tools have been added, hoping to get to 30 over the next week. Please reply with your favorite tools, so we can make sure they are listed before the official launch.

If you have any suggestions for the ONCE newsletter or the website please drop me a reply, I’d love to hear them.

Cheers,
