> Inspired by … @Chamath (8090ish)<p>8090ish is a fake site.<p><a href="https://www.8090ish.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.8090ish.com/</a><p><pre><code> Why did you make this fake site?
I like the concept. I don't have any strong mutual connections to Chamath, I made this on the off chance that I can get his attention to learn more about his plan. If you're reading this Chamath, let's chat! I'll happily hand this site over, and I'm happy to work with your team to build the real one.</code></pre>
Do any self hosting sites include an "effort index"? For example, if its a binary which needs Sqlite/MySql and Nginx, it gets a perfect score; if it needs 5 docker containers...
We as Software developers need to be honest with ourselves and really think about pricing. The product should be priced as per the effort and time it took to develop. If application needs maintenance then charge it separately.<p>But the customer should not have to pay for your SaaS because you don't want to work 9 to 5.
Went through the list, all listed services are SaaS apps. :(<p>Granted, most of them are self-hosted (not all!), but this list needs to be called norecurringfee.com ….
The concept is good but the site design is just awful. The page is non responsive. Can't search and the scroll is very slow. Not sure why a such a simple page is designed to take up so much CPU.
First entry I see: Pabbly Connect [0], a subscription web service that normally runs $20 a month and currently has a lifetime subscription offer advertised. Everything is hosted in the cloud, you sign in to access the product, they're SOC2 compliant, etc.<p>This website has a very different definition of SaaS than I do, and it sounds like it rhymes with "subscription".<p>A few more examples to make sure it wasn't a one-off:<p>* Foxly, a URL shortener with a subscription or lifetime deal [1].<p>* CountVisits, web analytics. This one doesn't offer a subscription, but it's still all hosted on their servers and therefore has usage limits (which you can pay to upgrade) [2]<p>[0] <a href="https://www.pabbly.com/connect/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pabbly.com/connect/</a><p>[1] <a href="https://foxlyme.com/pricing/" rel="nofollow">https://foxlyme.com/pricing/</a><p>[2] <a href="https://countvisits.com/" rel="nofollow">https://countvisits.com/</a>
