My plan was to have something strategic regarding to the productivity of the smalltalker in terms of web applications that can deliver the UX of a single page application.
Although that SaaS had very low churn and very long LTV and low CAC, I failed to raise money to grow it and I've failed to find the right growth guy that could help and shutdown in 2015. My bet was to use that flow stack to make this SaaS next big upgrade to be a Single Page Application done with Amber in the frontend but didn't go well due to these non-technical issues.
Then Angular was eating the web world and the React tsunami was just started.
It's funny to see that now there is a come back to SSR.
