Show HN: Monetize Any REST API with Saasify

I'm also a firm believer that SaaS is the most viable business model to solve this problem at scale. Sponsorships, ads, grants, etc are all awesome and serve a very useful role, but from an economic standpoint, they will never be able to capture any sort of value proportionate to the value created by open source.
I started working on Saasify with the explicit goal of making it easier for open source developers like myself to "saasify" their code and start selling it online.
I've been working on Saasify for the past 15 months and we're fully bootstrapped.
Large chunks of Saasify are open source on GitHub - here's an article where I discuss the open core business model and Saasify's approach to open source: https://blog.saasify.sh/saasify-open-core/
I'd love to hear your thoughts on Micro SaaS, monetizing APIs, OSS sustainability, and Saasify.
