I had an old raspberry pi with an e ink display lying around (it used to be a pwnagotchi) and wanted to give it a second life.
So now it sits on my desk and shows me whats happening with my SaaS.
My MRR with a progress bar toward my €1k goal, plus how many users were active and signed up today. A little python script polls my analytics every 10 minutes. And when someone signs up or goes paid, it interrupts everything with a little celebration screen.
Currently at €486 MRR. Watching a physical thing on my desk fill up toward €1k is weirdly way more motivating than any dashboard.
Anyone else built physical stuff for their SaaS?
