Ask HN: Other success micro-SaaS stories like StoreMapper?

15 points by alc90 11y ago ↗ HN

I've been reading the Tyler's blog posts about how he created and grow his micro SaaS project - StoreMapper and I am looking to find out other similar stories like this one.

Any resource (blog post, quora answers etc) would be much appreciated.

Microsaas were just on the frontpage the other day, maybe you can find the thread.

Might want to check out some of the side projects posted on sideproectors (disclaimer - I run this site)

I suppose, it could be the opposite of what you're asking. These are side projects that people want to sell. But many of them have recurring revenue.
