40% lifetime commission for a SaaS affiliate program — too much?
I'm currently working on the affiliate strategy for a new SaaS product and considering offering a 40% lifetime recurring commission.
My thinking is that, as an early-stage product without a large distribution channel yet, I'd rather give affiliates a much stronger incentive and reach customers I probably wouldn't be able to reach on my own.
For founders who have already run affiliate programs with recurring commissions:

What tech stack is everyone using these days?
I m currently on Tauri, and I also have another project built with native Swift that s waiting for App Store review. After months of development, I can clearly feel that Tauri being frontend-based fits much better into today s agent/AI ecosystem:
AI is way more familiar with frontend stacks: React/Vue/TypeScript/etc. The code it generates is often more structured than what I d write by hand.
Tauri is cross-platform: Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, Android (even if I don t need all of them right now).
A lot of tools for making promo videos/posters like Remotion are frontend-based. With AI agents, you can produce videos that are pixel-perfect: e.g., spin up a Vite dev server, let the agent read the HTML directly, and render it with Remotion exact replica. Totally different experience from Swift. (Though for Swift/iOS, Goldie is actually a great project for generating marketing visuals too.)
Building a C/S architecture with a frontend stack is cheaper it s all TypeScript, lol.
But there are also plenty of pain points:
On Apple ecosystem, you have to roll your own packaging & upload scripts nowhere near as smooth as Xcode. And they break after updates (looking at you, macOS 26).
You miss out on native Apple component styles and APIs. My Swift project uses lots of new APIs and device-specific features with Tauri I d need a bunch of plugins and FFI.
Cross-platform UI consistency issues seems like a Tauri classic, and also why many still choose Electron.
Rust well, not a problem for me. And with AI + clippy, the Rust code isn t just fast, it s also fast. Good enough for most cases.
IAP requires your app to be a .app bundle can t just tauri dev for debugging, so that s extra workflow overhead (I now have 10+ scripts in my repo just for packaging).
Icon issues on macOS with Tauri, icons might appear too big at first, then too small later. Xcode is still the boss here.
etc.
