The Start of Something Big: My First Micro SaaS

For a long time, I’ve had this dream: build something for myself.

As a software developer, most of my time is spent working on client projects and meeting tight deadlines — but outside of work, I’ve always wanted a side hustle. I explored ideas, scrolled through social media, and brainstormed countless times.

Eventually, I realized something: there’s no “perfect” idea. The best way to start is simply to start.

So, I decided to build something small, useful, and privacy-focused — a micro SaaS.


What I Built

I built a micro SaaS application called CodeShareScribe.

The core purpose is simple: create and share content anonymously with the receiver, while enhancing privacy through end-to-end encryption in private mode.

A few key features:

✨ Key Features (MVP)

  • No login? Share up to 3 texts.
  • Free plan? Log in and unlock 1-day text sharing with end-to-end encryption.
  • Privacy first. Paid plans (coming soon) will include password protection, private sharing, and extended durations.
  • File sharing? Pro will support images, Unlimited will support DOC/PDF files.
  • Future roadmap. Branding, analytics, and team collaboration are on the way.

💳 Subscription Plans

👉 Note: Currently only the Free plan is live. Pro and Unlimited are in progress and will be released soon.

Feedback is Open 📢

I’ve built a feedback panel so anyone can share ideas, report bugs, or ask questions. Every bit of feedback helps me improve the app and make it more stable, user-friendly, and fun to use.

Right now, this is just the MVP — your ideas can help shape the official release!

I’m excited to keep building, adding features, and learning along the way.

If you’re curious about privacy-first tools or just want to send something anonymously — give it a try and let me know what you think.
