Hey Product Hunt
I'm the indie developer behind Still, a private journaling app built around one simple idea:

Reflection shouldn t feel like a task you can fail at.

Today, I'm excited (and a bit nervous) to share a major update that rethinks how Still feels and flows.

Hey everyone,

I've built my product around traditional SaaS pricing (monthly tiers), but I m starting to wonder if that model is getting outdated, especially with more AI-powered and compute-heavy tools entering the market.
That shift requires real architectural changes, instrumentation, metering, billing logic, and UI changes, not just pricing tweaks. It s something I m starting to seriously think about for my own product.

In particular, AI usage has real COGs (every prompt costs money), and I m seeing more platforms experimenting with usage-based models, or hybrids like SaaS base + usage + overage.

For those of you building AI or compute-intensive tools:

I m curious how people here think about a calmer, signal-first feed in practice.

If you ve tried Trace already:
What felt immediately useful?
What felt missing or confusing?
What would make it something you d actually open every day?

If you haven t tried it:
What would you need to see before giving a feed like this a real shot?
What would make you bounce?

I m early and still shaping this, so honest feedback (good or bad) is genuinely helpful.
