&lt;p&gt;Sometime in April last year, I wanted a community software where people can share their knowledge. Most community software solutions are built for asking questions and lacked features to write beautiful articles.So, i decided to write my own, which turned out to be a costly decision, as it was consuming most of my time. After 8 months of on and off effort I had a beautiful community and I was using it to run two of my sites. I also added few ways to monetize the community by selling site memberships and courses&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&amp;amp;v=1B0Eecf6Wzo&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;%0A"&gt;&lt;img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--6Bp77b1R--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/http://img.youtube.com/vi/1B0Eecf6Wzo/0.jpg" alt="Hittly intro"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A month ago, I had a thought of why not convert it into a SAAS app. After three weeks of effort converted the community into a multi tenant app. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I would love for you check it out once and any suggestions for improvement are appreciated&lt;/p&gt;
