Introduction

Why I built SaaS Hammer

Michael Yin, creator of SaaS Hammer

👋 Hey, I'm Michael. I'm a Django developer and SaaS builder.

Every Django SaaS I built started with the same setup work before the product itself could begin.

SaaS Hammer is the foundation I wanted: a smaller starting line, and more room for the product.
