Here is something to chew on. Does it make sense to pay for expensive SaaS subscriptions when you can just build exactly what you need with AI? Here is my story. I day trade NASDAQ futures, and I’ve been looking for software to journal my trades. Most tools I found (like Tradervue or TraderSync) have a limited free version, with the premium tiers costing $30 to $50 a month. So, I asked Claude to build me one. In less than 30 minutes, I was already using my own custom trading journaling tool, perfectly tailored to my specific strategy. I’m talking about a full-blown application deployed on my own server, complete with a login and main features like: Win rate, P&L, Avg Winner vs. Avg Loser, real-time Risk:Reward ratios,.Tagging, notes, screenshots and mobile friendly, etc. Then I started thinking… AI has the potential to completely replace off-the-shelf software. If someone with a technical background can build their own highly customized tools in half an hour for free, why should we keep buying generic subscriptions? What do you guys think? Is this the beginning of the end for niche SaaS companies, or will people always pay for convenience? submitted by /u/forevergeeks
