Exactly. I'm making 25k month with a SaaS that was built on boring ASP.NET+SQL Server+Angular 1 because that's what I knew. I host it on Windows because I know how to make it fast and secure. I'm happy I focused all my time on building the features that clients were asking for, instead of learning the latest frameworks or fighting an OS I'm not familiar with.

  built on boring [...] Angular 1
Ah yes, the halcyon yesteryear of Angular 1.

I was going to say that I could hire a human designer on Upwork to design a logo like that for the same kind of money, but I guess I can't argue with your revenue numbers. Congratulations!

Do you have any proof that his revenue number are those? I don't, so...

What can you tell us about the algorithms you used or where did you start on learning A.I. ? Interesting approach for logo creation!

I don't know about Logojoy in particular, but every AI begins with some variation of rand(). :)

Not sure why you were downvoted, in this case that's a real possibility. It's hard to beat rand() for MVP.

Hey guys - Dawson here (founder) let me know if you have any questions about Logojoy / the story.

Trying the site with chrome on android, some frustrating issues:

* as soon as logos appear the signup form covers all of them, so I can't see the logos. Is it by design? I tried signing up and the wheel keeps spinning, I'll retry later.

* Since I tried multiple times, the browser allows to autofill forms. When I do that the js validation fails thinking I haven't entered any char yet.

* not sure what to do on the Selectr-icons-screen, I've tried clicking here and there with no results. Luckily I can skip the step :-)

* Reloading the page (eg I'm wondering if the server is overloaded and I want to give it a chance) the logo generation restart from scratch. Pls consider keeping state in the URL.

Anyhow, great idea :-)

What struck me the most is going with the old and tried tools (PHP+MySQL). Nowadays everyone - myself included - is trying to have an excuse to try the sexiest JS framework of the day and most of us fail miserably to deliver anything useful - because of lack of experience or just reinventing the wheel altogether. Old and boring is still sometimes the best.

Good ideas executed well are the best regardless of what tech stack you are using.

It's hard to see a subscription model for logo designs though. It's not like you need a new logo each month.

http://designpickle.com/ http://www.thedigitaldesignco.com/graphic-design-subscriptio... not exactly just logos but people seem to try and SaaSify everything.

I appreciate your point that some products are really not SaaS-oriented, yet try to be.

But your two examples here seem exactly the kind of long-term customer relationships that benefits from SaaS. And may in fact be underutilized. These are high-touch, deep background kind of gigs, rather than impersonal service sites. I want to have an ongoing conversation about my task and I'm willing to pay a retainer++ for that privilege.

Yes - I'm doing about 33K per month on a SaaS that is just Rails/Postgres/Heroku - the only javascript is some basic JQuery.

Cool! Can I ask what your SaaS is?
