Kitze gets his first paying subscribers, and says SaaS is dead anyway
Here's a plot twist the zombies didn't see coming. kitze announced the first paying subscriptions for a product, thanked shadcn, promised more templates this week, and then added, in brackets, that SaaS is dead. Both things can be true at once. The post doesn't say what the product is, so we won't guess. But the mood is very 2026: sell subscriptions with one hand and write the obituary with the other. Every survivor in this game is still charging for something.
started getting first subscriptions for this 🤓 tnx @shadcn
will add more templates this week(saas is dead btw)
