I'm starting work on a new SaaS!
I want to document my process because I used to love devlogs on tumblr and tigsource.
I am creating an API-as-a-Service that monitors suspicious login attempts.
At the moment there is a couple of solutions in this space. But they fall down in a few areas
- Bad pricing
- Bad marketing
- Rigid integration path. In the case of the main competitor, they make it so they have to send the emails out, rather than send them out yourself. It also doesn't have the concept of teams so not setup for enterprise.
My MVP will be:
- A single API endpoint to check if a login is suspicious or not
- Check against known VPN's, TOR nodes, time of day and other factors.
- Allow customers to control the factors that affect whether a login is considered suspicious or not.
Here is my bullet pointed notes as I did this first stage of development!
