Cross-posting this bit from @robbt in the discussion about LibreTime 3 Beta Todos - #13 by robbt
The beta that inspired this post was more of a platform support offering with the option of a DIY SaaS as an outcome.
The initial description needs some clarity, but the idea is similar to what Robb is mentioning.
What if stations or podcasters paid a TBD monthly amount for setup, platform updates, and maintenance until LibreTime was at the stage where it ‘could’ be offered as SaaS? What if the beta also included early-stage access to an open-source website platform as an option? What if hosting and bespoke development was decoupled from a beta?
Think there would be interest?
