At BrilliantSaaS, we don’t just ship software — we build lean, scalable tools that help founders grow, save money, and run more efficient businesses.

In this post, I’ll walk you through 3 SaaS projects I helped bring to life — from early MVP to real revenue and partnerships.

These are real-world results from real clients.


SuperSparks: A Webflow Tool That Grew Into a Memberstack Partner

A few years ago, Ian Ruta, a no-code maker, reached out with an idea for a tool that would make Webflow more powerful. We started lean — he built the backend using Bubble.io, and I took care of the entire frontend.

We launched quickly and the product started growing.

As traction increased, so did the technical challenges. About 1.5 years in, Bubble.io announced a pricing model that would drastically raise Ian’s monthly costs due to the app’s usage level. He needed to act fast.

What I did

I proposed a full migration to a custom Django backend and personally handled the transition:

  • Rebuilt the backend from scratch in Django

  • Migrated all production and staging data with zero downtime

  • Optimized infrastructure for speed and cost-efficiency

The results

  • The platform runs faster and more reliably

  • Over $500/month saved in hosting/infrastructure

  • SuperSparks became a stronger investment opportunity (investors love owning the backend and lean ops)

  • Memberstack partnered with the app to launch a community/forum template

💡 Current status: Bootstrapped, stable, and generating $4.5K+ MRR.

Museed: A Profitable Audio SaaS Built In-House

Museed is a product I built myself. While working on client projects, I noticed that audio-focused creators were stuck using limited tools — or hacking together messy solutions.

Most embeddable audio players lacked simple but crucial features like:

  • Fullscreen mode (like in native mobile apps)

  • Resume playback from where you left off

  • Analytics

  • Hosting

  • And they were locked into platforms like Spotify, which only allows 30s previews

So I built something better.

What Museed offers

  • Host thousands of audio files

  • Smart embed widgets for any website

  • AI-powered recommendations

  • Detailed streaming analytics

  • Creator-friendly UX

Today, Museed powers 50,000+ audio tracks and is trusted by users across industries — from indie creators to enterprise clients like OperaDepot.com, one of the largest opera-focused e-commerce platforms.

Revenue model

Museed is profitable and monetized via:

  • Subscriptions (e.g. $149/month or $1,490/year)

  • Custom add-ons and features (up to $1,200 per request)

NYC Inventory System: From Spreadsheets to a Custom Platform

Alex, an entrepreneur in NYC, was running his business across a mess of disconnected tools: Excel for inventory, a third-party CRM, a separate e-commerce site, and DMs for sales.

He needed one system to manage everything.

In under 8 weeks, I built and deployed a custom platform that combined:

  • Inventory Management

  • CRM

  • E-commerce frontend

Key features

  • Real-time sync across the entire system

  • Excel/CSV import and export

  • Sales, purchases, and margin analytics — all filterable by date

  • Intuitive frontend so Alex’s clients could browse available stock directly

The impact

  • No more jumping between tools

  • No more lost sales or duplicated data

  • One connected system — built 100% around his workflow

This is a clear example of how custom software, when done right, simplifies operations and adds real value.


Final Thoughts

All three projects started with a problem.
Each one ended with a stable, profitable product.
That’s what we build at BrilliantSaaS.

We specialize in:

  • MVPs that go live fast

  • Complex platforms with integrated systems

  • SaaS tools that grow with your business

  • Developer support for scale and architecture

If you’re a founder or team that needs to ship or scale, I’d love to hear what you’re working on.

Let’s build something real.
