Here is why I refused the same escape route while shipping a Pure Go PDF library. https://nadai.dev/en/blog/antirez-ds4-solo-oss-mode What antirez's DS4 means for a solo Pure Go OSS author 2026-05-17T00:00:00Z 2026-05-17T00:00:00Z Taiki Noda (野田大貴)https://nadai.dev/en/about Salvatore Sanfilippo, the Redis author, is shipping DS4 alone — a native local LLM inference engine. What it means for a solo Pure Go OSS author in 2026. https://nadai.dev/en/blog/lean-design-system-for-micro-saas Lean design systems as strategy: reading NN/g while running three micro SaaS alone 2026-05-17T00:00:00Z 2026-05-17T00:00:00Z Taiki Noda (野田大貴)https://nadai.dev/en/about NN/g argues 2-to-5-person design-system teams aren't a constraint but a strategy. A solo author running three micro SaaS reads it back. https://nadai.dev/en/blog/go-vue3-minimal-stack-template Minimal Go + Vue 3 stack template for solo SaaS 2026-05-15T00:00:00Z 2026-05-15T00:00:00Z Taiki Noda (野田大貴)https://nadai.dev/en/about The Go + Vue 3 stack I actually run for side-project micro SaaS — net/http with slog, Vue 3 + Vite, Firebase Auth, Cloud Run — with the code to match. https://nadai.dev/en/blog/single-binary-distribution-advantage Why single-binary distribution wins for solo developers 2026-05-12T00:00:00Z 2026-05-12T00:00:00Z Taiki Noda (野田大貴)https://nadai.dev/en/about Why single-binary distribution fits solo development on three axes — ops, support, OSS trust — with examples from gpdf and gsql, and where it doesn't fit. https://nadai.dev/en/blog/mit-first-then-considering-agpl Why I'm considering AGPL for the next derived SaaS, after shipping MIT first 2026-05-11T00:00:00Z 2026-05-11T00:00:00Z Taiki Noda (野田大貴)https://nadai.dev/en/about Four months after publishing the Pure Go libraries gpdf and gsql under MIT, I'm considering AGPL + CLA + commercial licensing for the next derived SaaS. Nothing in that structure is implemented yet — this is the decision log of a hypothesis, not a methodology. https://nadai.dev/en/blog/show-hn-launch-checklist Show HN launch checklist for moonlighting micro SaaS 2026-05-08T00:00:00Z 2026-05-08T00:00:00Z Taiki Noda (野田大貴)https://nadai.dev/en/about A frontloaded checklist for making Show HN actually reach when you're moonlighting on a micro SaaS — what to lock in the day before, the first ninety minutes after posting, and how to hand the launch to adjacent communities. https://nadai.dev/en/blog/pre-release-validation-strategy Pre-release validation for moonlighting micro SaaS 2026-05-07T00:00:00Z 2026-05-07T00:00:00Z Taiki Noda (野田大貴)https://nadai.dev/en/about How to narrow your hypotheses before writing code in a moonlighting micro SaaS: a three-layer split, and where to set the threshold for shipping code. https://nadai.dev/en/blog/time-design-of-a-day-job-oss-builder Time design: 20 hours a week for OSS alongside a day job 2026-05-06T00:00:00Z 2026-05-06T00:00:00Z Taiki Noda (野田大貴)https://nadai.dev/en/about How I carve out 20 hours a week for gpdf, gsql, and renma alongside a tech-lead day job: the weekday template, the one-block weekend rule, what gets cut and what does not, and the time I pushed to 30 hours and broke at week 3. https://nadai.dev/en/blog/gsql-api-design-vs-gorm-sqlx-squirrel gsql API design: how it differs from GORM, sqlx, and squirrel 2026-05-05T00:00:00Z 2026-05-05T00:00:00Z Taiki Noda (野田大貴)https://nadai.dev/en/about Releasing yet another Go SQL builder requires a reason. gsql aims for the unoccupied corner: type safety via generics, no code generation, and an explicit answer to Go's zero-value problem in partial updates. https://nadai.dev/en/blog/nadai-ecosystem-running-multiple-saas nadai ecosystem: running multiple micro SaaS as one person 2026-05-05T00:00:00Z 2026-05-05T00:00:00Z Taiki Noda (野田大貴)https://nadai.dev/en/about How nadai runs gpdf, gsql, and renma in parallel as a side project: what to share, what to separate, and why the author hub absorbs marketing flow. https://nadai.dev/en/blog/pure-go-micro-saas-on-the-side Building Pure Go micro SaaS on the side: where I stand 2026-05-04T00:00:00Z 2026-05-04T00:00:00Z Taiki Noda (野田大貴)https://nadai.dev/en/about Working as a tech lead by day, shipping the Pure Go OSS libraries gpdf and gsql under MIT off-hours. Separately building a derived SaaS layer on top of gpdf (gpdf-api and friends) and, on a totally different track, a Flutter weight-training app called renma — none of those released yet. Why MIT first, what I've learned, what I'd change next. https://nadai.dev/en/blog/why-pure-go-zero-dependency-pdf Building a Pure Go zero-dependency PDF library: gpdf design philosophy 2026-05-04T00:00:00Z 2026-05-04T00:00:00Z Taiki Noda (野田大貴)https://nadai.dev/en/about Why I avoided CGO and wrote gpdf from scratch: the decisions behind a Pure Go, zero-dependency PDF library with native CJK font support. https://nadai.dev/en/blog/gpdf-api-chainable-vs-builder gpdf API design: closure-callback builders over method chaining 2026-05-04T00:00:00Z 2026-05-04T00:00:00Z Taiki Noda (野田大貴)https://nadai.dev/en/about Why gpdf's Go API uses closure-callback builders instead of chainable methods. The design decisions around Go's error handling, PDF tree structure, and how three different patterns split responsibility cleanly.
