It's a minor thing but PHP's `isset` can accept multiple vars which will allow you to simplify your code. 💅

No automated anything.

Devs, as a general rule, start a business if you like doing business things, (customer service, marketing, et al.) If you just want to code all day, work for someone else.
If you’re wondering what it’s like to be a new SaaS founder:
Most of it is doing customer support!
☀️ Wake up in the morning: answer email.
👨💻 Get to the office: reply to live chat.
🛌 Before I go to bed: solve a problem.
