Not because products are bad. Because the economics just evaporated.
SaaS sold you a bargain: "Don't waste six months and 500k€ building this. Pay us 10k€/year."
AI-powered development torched that. What took a team six months now takes one engineer days.
Your CRM? Your document-signing solution? Thousands annually for their rigid systems. A custom AI nocode solution? 250€ a month, built your way.
The SaaS industry exists because custom software was too expensive.
This truth is changing fast.
The question isn't which SaaS vendor anymore. It's whether you need one at all. Your moment of choice.
What are you building next?

n8n is absolute gold for orchestrating lead pipelines like this! Connecting Gmail parsing with LLM qualification saves teams dozens of hours weekly. As someone who builds custom agentic lead automation workflows, seeing clean visual architectures like this is super satisfying. Top-tier build, Talha!.
I've been quietly building landing page templates. Six are out today, each with its own brand, its own type pairing and one interaction it's built around:
→ Aurel: a skincare brand with a WebGL serum drop that bulges toward your cursor
→ Ferro Type: a type foundry where the hero word bends its weight and width under the pointer
→ Meridian Expeditions: contour maps that redraw themselves as you switch routes
→ Oda: an architecture studio whose timber cabin draws itself, with a live sun study
→ Relay: a dev tool where the editor types a workflow and the run graph executes it live
→ Signal: a mission-control SaaS with a live infrastructure graph that contains threats as they flare
Built to be edited with AI. Every template ships with a README, a DESIGN.md and an AGENTS.md, so Claude, Cursor or whatever assistant you use changes it the way it was built, not the way it guesses.
Ferro Type is the one I would open first. Bending a variable font under the pointer re-lays out the text every frame, which is a much bigger bill than it looks, and stepping the weight in a few fixed increments is usually what keeps it smooth on a laptop that is not plugged in....
