Hey, thanks for the mention! I'm the creator of Nodewood, and I'm happy to answer any questions anyone has on it, or really anything else in the space I can help with. Source: over 3 years ago

Every time I wanted to start a new project, almost always a SaaS idea, I'd skip over the "boring stuff" like building user management, subscription management, teams, admin, all that, to get to the meat of the business logic, to make sure I had a valid idea.

It has built-in subscription management... - Source: Hacker News / over 4 years ago
