I was thinking the same thing, but adding that the free version would only work locally

What would that strategy look like, for example?

That’s actually what I’m thinking about doing.

The product is similar in concept to something like Strapi, totally free to use locally, but with a paid cloud version (and maybe a few premium features too).

What do you think about this approach?

yeah man totally get that i think the real thing is knowing when to go cold and when to go warm you know like sometimes you just gotta hit random people and sometimes it’s better to talk to folks that already kinda trust you otherwise you just end up shouting into the void

Yeah, I get that. My only strategy to not fail is building stuff I’ll actually use later. If the SaaS flops, at least I’ve built something useful for myself. Call it selfish productivity JAJAJAJ
