ghosty
Founder of SaaSCity, responsible for the platform, listing review, and everything published on the blog. Software engineer working across backend infrastructure, web platforms, blockchain systems, mobile development, and applied AI since 2017.
Background
Shipping production software since 2017. Backend services and system administration for high-concurrency multiplayer infrastructure. Web platforms and the operations behind them. Blockchain systems, including staking platforms and token contracts on Polygon. Mobile development, primarily iOS and cross-platform applications built with Expo and React Native. Applied AI, including production model pipelines.
SaaSCity is the current focus: the platform, the review standard applied to every listing, the directory dataset, and the editorial line.
Editorial coverage
Coverage on the SaaSCity blog is limited to subjects the platform generates first-party evidence for: directory submission and its actual return, backlink and Domain Rating mechanics, SaaS launch distribution, and the tooling founders use to run it.
Operating a directory produces the numbers behind those subjects instead of repeating other people's: what submissions actually convert to, which directories still send traffic, and what a link from any of them is worth. Where a claim rests on data, the article names the source.
Corrections are shipped the day they are reported. Send them to [email protected].
