A panel discussion on 37signals' first <a href="https://once.com/">ONCE</a> product, the launch of <a href="https://once.com/campfire">Campfire</a> ("pay for it once, install it, and run it on your own server"). Ian Landsman, Tyler Tringas, and Justin Jackson share what they expected to happen before the launch, what did happen, and what it means for indie hackers and bootstrappers who want to launch SaaS companies.
