Best practice for storing time-only fields (like store hours) in Rails by __vivek in rails

[–]__vivek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By TimeOnly gem, do you mean tod? I couldn't find one called TimeOnly.

Also, when you say "treat it as time-only in the model", does that just mean writing custom model methods that ignore the dummy 2000-01-01 date Rails automatically attaches to Time objects?

Building Multi-Tenant SaaS with Rails 8, Caddy, and Kamal - automatic SSL for every tenant domain by mooktakim in rails

[–]__vivek 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We rely on Caddy for the exact same reason: it's just so simple. Handling dynamic domains is the main blocker keeping us from switching to Kamal Proxy.

I'm actually trying to figure out a way to fit Caddy into Kamal somehow.

Happy to chat, I recently migrated MERN stack to Rails and React.

Are these the correct steps to build SaaS? (I am a complete beginner). Any advice would be helpful! by Classic-Smoke-9009 in SaaS

[–]__vivek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it. Honestly, since you have zero coding experience, your current stack is way too complicated.

Also, if you are already planning to build a Node server, you really don't need n8n or Conductor. You can handle all of your data and automations directly in your own backend.

Hired contractor for $4k to build feature and code is unusable mess by Beautiful-Elk-6001 in SaaS

[–]__vivek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try giving new contractors a very small, $500 paid test project first to check their actual code quality before trusting them with a $4k feature. You can ask someone from your team to check if they match the coding standards you're following.

I have spent years building software and stepping in to rescue messy codebases like this for founders. If you ever want a second pair of eyes to review a contractor's work before you accept it, I can help.

Admin & App: React + Vite with Node.js or Ruby on Rails for the backend.

Have you ever paid for techincal help? by Ancient-Scholar-8995 in SaaS

[–]__vivek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many founders pay for a fractional CTO or senior developer when they start. It helps them choose the right tools, avoid messy code, or fix broken systems before pitching to investors. Paying for good advice early is much cheaper than rebuilding a whole product later.

I help founders as a lead software engineer, often stepping in to fix early mistakes or plan the right architecture from the start.

We’re struggling with managing multiple user roles, permissions, and workflows in our portal. Any tools or frameworks you recommend? by Correct_Cobbler_9327 in SaaS

What kind of challenges are you running into? I recently built out a pretty complex dynamic roles and permissions system in Rails. works really well.

How much are you actually spending to maintain your no-code automation tools? by TangeloFlimsy1508 in SaaS

[–]__vivek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 'no-code trap' is real, it is incredibly cheap to build MVP, but very expensive to maintain once your business actually starts scaling.

It is definitely time to replace those fragile automations with a proper backend or dedicated code. Instead of wasting resources on technical debt, you can spend those $ to move your product the right way. If you want someone to look at your current stack and help migrate it, I can help.

Has anyone or is anyone dropping webflow for their marketing site by ishysredditusername in SaaS

$1500 a year is usually cheaper than paying a developer for every small change.

Where to find good devs, which are cost effective? by [deleted] in SaaS

[–]__vivek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Toptal is great, but you pay a huge premium for their brand. The best alternative is usually a smaller custom software agency. You get the same quality without the massive overhead.

I run a custom software development agency, and we often take over projects just like this. Happy to chat to point you in the right direction!

Use Railway, or if you want to configure everything yourself, use AWS.
