[LRUG] Post brighton ruby saas meet up?

Sun Jun 30 06:02:42 PDT 2024

Hi Yevhenii (& List)

If you're interested in pushing it forward, I would be very much behind you.
Would be great to have some kind of meet up for technical founders of
bootstrapped/bootstrapping SaaS (using Rails I guess?).
Would an MVP for this be a drink after LRUG? (small ambitions...)

all the best

Tim
