Business Idea:
A Laravel package that simplifies user role management across multiple business contexts without relying on multiple guards, making role-based access control more flexible and intuitive for developers.
Problem:
Many Laravel developers struggle with implementing flexible, scalable permission systems when existing solutions like Spatie’s permissions don’t fit complex, real-world use cases—particularly when users need different roles across various business domains without switching guards.
Solution:
A lightweight, easy-to-integrate Laravel package that allows assigning multiple roles to a user based on different business contexts, eliminating the need for multiple guards and streamlining permission management.
Target Audience:
Laravel-based SaaS businesses, developers building multi-tenant applications, startups, and teams seeking efficient, flexible permission management solutions within their Laravel projects.
Monetization:
Offer the package as an open-source tool while providing premium features, support, or customization services through a subscription or one-time payment. Potentially develop a SaaS dashboard for role management.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP):
Simplifies complex permission scenarios without the overhead of multiple guards, enabling per-business role assignments seamlessly—saving time, reducing complexity, and improving scalability over traditional methods.
Launch Strategy:
Start with creating a minimal viable package focusing on core role assignment features. Release on GitHub for community feedback, gather early adopters, and showcase use cases in blog posts and social media. Build community engagement and iterate based on user needs.
