I'm curious about the future of open source, especially SaaS. CVEs are everywhere, and AI has flooded projects with low-effort PRs that add no real value. How are maintainers supposed to keep up with all this?

Paid $20 for a StartupFame promo and… well, here are the results 😅 Our free submissions on Macnative get more traction than this.

I think this keeps going until almost everything is open source or free. $20 gets anyone enough AI to start competing with existing SaaS businesses. And as AI takes more of our jobs, more of us will build alternatives to the SaaS companies still making money.
Someone on here clones Beehiv because they think it’s too expensive but then someone else clones that person’s SaaS because they think it’s too expensive. And then someone else clones this new person’s product and releases it for free. I can’t stop laughing.
