It's not even just Nostr. It's happening everywhere. I posted a few days about about once.com, the new initiative from DHH and Jason Fried (from 37signals). They're eschewing the SaaS model and selling software outright again so that customer can simply run it on their own infra.

Even in normal SaaS land, companies are feeling the crunch. Customer acquisition has gotten extremely difficult (and expensive), retention is always a challenge when customers get stung with a bill every month, and the prices of most major SaaS tools has gotten astronomical.
