· 5 pulledSingle Sign On scales headcount and maintains security under a single credential.
Services unfairly price for SSO, so I made my own for a furry convention.
If I were to bootstrap a furry convention today for its first year, without writing any code, I'd probably start with a square store to handle both online and in person transactions.
Check in for pre-registrations will be clunky, but for a 100-300 attendance event, it should be feasible.
There's more, like a bank account, but in scope of the staff that make the event happen, only a few services are needed before and during the event.
