levelsio vibe-codes $25,000/mo of SaaS away: weather, NSFW detection, streaming, all self-built

Indie hacker levelsio replaced a stack of paid SaaS with his own vibe-coded services, saving about $25,000/month: weather API via Norway's meteorology service, image resizing with NodeJS Sharp + Redis ($1,500/mo), NSFW detection with Python NudeNET ($2,500/mo), Nginx video streaming replacing Cloudflare, plus self-built screenshot and error-monitoring/DDoS services. NirantK quipped that eventually only two company types remain: Cloudflare and residential IP proxy farms.
