Logtivity Interview with WPTavern

For the second time in a couple of years, I talked with Nathan Wrigley on the WPTavern podcast.

The first time around, we chatted about Gutenberg Phase 3.

This time, we discussed launching a SaaS service. In particular, we discussed how difficult it can be.

I had been talking with other WordPress friends who want to start SaaS. They develop successful plugins and want to branch out to launch a SaaS project. So we focused on the lessons we’ve learned from Logtivity over the last couple of years.

I ended up turning this podcast into a blog post: “Lessons for WordPress Plugin Developers Starting a SaaS“.
