How SimpleSaaS, LLC was born

What is SimpleSaaS, LLC

Well, 

SimpleSaaS was kind of an accident. I really just needed to send a fax. 

Mom had died and we were trying to figure out her 401K and they wanted us to fax the paperwork over. I didnt have a fax machine. Because this was February in the Year of Our Lord 2026 and these things just dont exist anymore. we didnt even have one down at the office. 

I do know how to code though. I was also wonderfully unoccupied at that moment so I fired up the coding computer and got to work. About an hour later I had a simple program that could send a multi-page fax and could tell if it sent or failed. Mission accomplished but again without anythng else to do I added a payment page, cleaned up the design a bit, and bought a domain name and connected it to the world wide web. This was born Simple Fax Service 

Attention span temporarily satisfied I kind of left it at that. 

The next day, bored yet again, I decided to make another to try out a new technology stack I had been playing with and a simple application with a paywall and logic chain would work just fine. Soon, Simple Merge PDF was born. I was even able to copy over a bit of the code because I had randomly built the yesterday thing into the today's thing tech stack. 

That got me to thinking. If I could copy 80% of the parts that just make a website work I could concentrate on the 20% or so that makes the website do the thing that is actually useful. I remember thinking that might actually work. 

Next think I know I am coding app number 31 wondering how this all happened.
