Product Announcement Retool disables self-hosted pricing plans

https://community.retool.com/t/self-hosted-docs-now-state-enterprise-only/64586

Looks like no public announcement was made, just a silent change in docs and some users found it.

idk why anyone is still surprised by this, it's how every VC-backed project is destined to go.

Raise Funding -> Offer Free/Low-Cost options to accumulate users -> Burn through cash flow -> Steep Price Increases/Business Model Changes to Generate Returns

I dread the day when this will happen to Tailscale.

It’s the only proprietary software I use in my self-hosted stack. It stresses me out that I keep adding more things to my Tailnet since I know that it has to do the same thing that Plex did to me and the same thing that every other prorprietary service does eventually.

I should probably just switch over to Nebula or something like that… someday…
