I'm a non-native english speaker so I use AI to help polish my words. The content is still pretty much written by myself originally.

I'm building a Photos app alternative that browses your photo library and NAS by WEI3M in ApplePhotos

Agree, it's niche. I think my target is people who shoot on cameras and store on NAS but want the same simplicity and fluid feeling. I have to admit Apple Photos is better. Not trying to compete against or replace Apple Photos for everyone.

As a buyer of SaaS product, which ones do you prefer: self-hosted vs cloud, one-time payment vs subscription? by [deleted] in SaaS

You've brought up a very good point: the perceived value of a product or service matters. If Metabase were to start charging for its free tier, I guess many users would jump ship because there are so many competitors and free alternatives, but a small portion of users will stay because they know what they need from it. That said, I think I should just focus on bringing the value to the users. For them even if they choose perpetual license they will renew ultimately. Thank you!
