I have been thinking about creating a really basic, personal use SaaS from
scratch as a learning project. Something like uptimerobot or being able to
securely access a webcam feed from my home when I am away.

This would cover all the basic VM setup skills, networking, DNS, security,
monitoring, probably databases and backups. You can integrate with matrix
or twilio for notifications, or set up a single etc for automating setups.
There will be an end product as well which hopefully can be useful for some
purpose (e.g. is the street parking in front of my place empty?).

This could be a collaborative project as well, instead of having n people
making n SaaS services.

Thoughts?
