Show HN: Lotus – Open-Source Pricing and Packaging Infrastructure Hi HN! We’re building an open-source pricing & packaging engine for SaaS with a built-in billing system. ( https://ift.tt/0tYOxV1 ). We strongly believe pricing is the largest untapped growth lever for SaaS, primarily because pricing affects so many critical systems that don’t talk to each other (billing, payments, feature limits, metering, and CRM). We’re building this infrastructure to fix this and enable quick experimentation. Lotus acts as a central repository for all of your pricing plans and utilizes your payment gateway, to manage usage-based, per-seat, and custom enterprise pricing. We’re excited to open-source this because we want to enable developers to build their custom pricing and integration edge cases on top of this base. We’ve launched this repo under an MIT license so any developer can use the tool. Give it a spin for us at either: * test our cloud version at ( https://ift.tt/f51VcQP ) * self-host here ( https://ift.tt/0tYOxV1 ) and let us know what you think. All feedback is appreciated! If the project is especially relevant to you, follow us and we’ll keep you updated when we’ve fully published all our beta features. https://ift.tt/0tYOxV1 November 6, 2022 at 10:30PM

Adeline “Addy” Svendsen was founding editor of Muni’s first internal newsletter, “ Trolley Topics .” Adeline Svendsen sits at her desk in the Geneva Carhouse office building in this 1949 shot. Trolley Topics was a new venture when it started in February 1946. As Svendsen wrote in the first issue it was created, “to bring a little fun, a little news, and a lot of good will to all our fellow employees in the Railway.” Just two years prior in 1944, Muni merged with the Market Street Railway Company, expanding the small municipal operation into the largest transit provider in the city with hundreds of employees, vehicles of every shape and size, and dozens of facilities scattered across town. The newsletter was meant to help unite ...
