The web development industrial complex has lied to your face: - auth: yes you can do it yourself - scale: yes you can do it yourself - database: yes you can do it yourself - server: yes you can do it yourself And no when your site goes viral you don't need to pay a $20,000 bill

Fun fact: ✌️ I launched a SaaS in 2020 that was essentially a niche version of AutoShorts.ai for ecommerce. ... It didn't do very well as you can see. Sometimes you just gotta try stuff and see what sticks

Free users cost us ~$13K /month🫣 Those who removed their free plan... how did it go? We currently allow users to create 1 free video before prompting them to upgrade. I believe in the idea of allowing customers a chance to "try before you buy", but I can't think of a way to
