alt Hacker NewsThis sounds cool, but how do you protect your product from pirating?
If your entire product is turned into a frontend app, and all of the infrastructure is stored on the users backend, doesn't this effectively mean they can just use your service for free?
And if you try and gate it in the frontend, obviously that can just be stripped out with an LLM in 3 seconds.
Am I missing something?
Also curious about how payments would work in a system like this.
That is a very good observation. see a comment below:
> One interesting open question now is: It is easy to say how the backend provider would bill the company for its services. It is harder for the app provider (the SPA) to bill their services.
