Building Saasitron.com

I took too much time building this website than I need to. Saasitron is supposed to be a simple directory website that lists SaaS boilerplates. But I really took my time in completing it.

I guess one of the struggle for me is doing the grunt work of putting all the information I gather into Google Sheet.

Yep, it's in a Google Sheet. If you care to snoop around, you can probably find out where it is.

You know, gathering the data requires patience because I am trying to share useful information about SaaS boilerplates including name of the developer, name of the company, the price of the product... and those information are presented differently from one another.

And after that, I need to get screenshots of the websites. Initially I screenshot them manually. Silly me. It occurred to me that there must be some CLI tool that can help me with this -- and yes there are. But I settled for the simple Pageres tool.

Now comes the designing.

For design, I use Bootstrap Studio. Yeah, you can really see it, can't you?

Anyway, once that is done, a little sprinkle of JQuery and fetching the data via Ajax, we have ourselves a directory.
