What features would you like to see on your admin dashboard?

You have a dashboard admin on your SaaS. What you need to manage?
- Users?
- Payments?
- Emails?
- SEO?
- Blogging?
What else?


Would churn rate be included in the payments section? If not, that's something allll my SaaS clients care a lot about and worth considering.

It's clearly a key figure. I'll keep that in mind.

Definitely. Something really visual, so they can quickly see at a glance if it's increasing/decreasing compared to the month before would be chef's kiss.

Some features I worked on for #toyboxforlaravel (similar project) before reducing its scope also were:
- Documentation generation
- User feedback/testimonials & roadmap management (data model for these overlaps a lot so I lumped it all together)
- Database backup initiation/download (very easy to do with SQLite, with other DBs less so)

Also useful might be some basic application health metrics (depends on if this is intended to be hosted on a VPS or with serverless).

Some of your ideas sounds like very great!
How do you manage your model for a new installation? copy paste?

What do you mean with model here?

The project is setup as a github repo template, plus some basic bash scripts for setting up some common items.

I mean how do you create your database? I assume you have a json stored somewhere?

I'm working with Laravel here, which is very batteries-included with this sort of thing.

For the SQLite DB setup, my init script does a touch database/db_name.sqlite and then the DB migrations I've written (laravel.com/docs/11.x/migrati…) can be run on this DB.

So easy ^^

I had to laugh at your comment @carolinus because I think I knew 5 words in Nik's comment and understood nothing. 😆

There are regular people and then there are coders/developers.

Main KPI's (like MMR, verified accounts, active users,..), referral codes? ad space sales ?
