been building a booking/scheduling SaaS for small service businesses (salons, beauty studios, clinics) solo for months. Today a local beauty studio signed up for the Pro plan, my first real paying customer!!
€37 won't change my life, but watching "Customers: 1" tick over on Stripe after all the unpaid late nights hits different
someone actually finds it worth paying for

On to #2!
My current laptop (Ryzen 7 8845HS, 32GB RAM) occasionally shuts down due to overheating under load. It's not constant, happens roughly once every 10 days, but it's unpredictable and sometimes won't wake from sleep properly. Otherwise it works just fine. I’m sure with some thermal paste I can get it to some point fixed
I'm a software engineer and programming is basically all I do on my personal machine, both professionally and as a hobby. Currently I’m hitting 30gbs of ram while developing, easily.
I found a MacBook Pro 14" M5 Pro (15-core CPU / 16-core GPU, 48GB, 1TB) for ~€2,464 excl. VAT (commercial price is around 3100). It's in stock, ships immediately.
Part of the reason I'm considering buying now is Tim Cook recently confirmed price increases are coming due to the global memory shortage. M5 Pro configs already went up $200-400 in March and more increases are expected. and since the one I found has a lot of ram and storage I could only assume it will get even more expensive
My hesitation is that the thermal issue isn't constant and the laptop mostly does its job. Am I justified in replacing it or am I just rationalizing an expensive purchase?
And a note: I can afford it, it’s just that I feel bad purchasing it since my current laptop can do its job even if sometimes it gets fked

Hey, so, first of all, a disclaimer: I'm not going to use AI to write this post, I'm tired boss (green mile reference)
this is my first ever SaaS that I actually pushed live, and made it production ready
It's called BookIt (https://bookit.fyi). Basically Calendly but lighter, with more features and some different ways of doing things. Freemium and free trial available too!. You make an event, share the link, people pick a slot, fill a form, confirm with an OTP, done.
Stack is Rust + React + Postgres if anyone cares.
I'm not selling anything, just genuinely want to know what's broken or weird or confusing. Roast it

There's a Pro tier with custom branding, waitlist, reminders etc. but the free plan covers the whole booking flow.
