    Hi HN!

    I built Nothing as a Service as a satirical commentary on subscription culture and the modern SaaS industry.

    It's exactly what it sounds like: you can pay to receive absolutely nothing. No product, no features, no emails, no tracking. Just the pure experience of spending money on nothing.

    The concept: - Three pricing tiers (Basic Nothing is free, Premium Nothing is $9.99, Enterprise Nothing requires contacting sales) - Real payment processing via Stripe - Customer testimonials like: "Finally, a service that does exactly what it promised. Nothing. 10/10 would buy nothing again." - A comprehensive FAQ explaining the philosophy

    I built it over a weekend using vanilla HTML/CSS/JS. The goal was both humorous and thought-provoking – a commentary on our relationship with digital products and subscriptions.

    The response so far has been interesting. Some people appreciate the absurdist humor, others are genuinely curious about the minimalist philosophy, and a few actually want to purchase it.

    Tech stack is intentionally minimal (just like the product itself). No frameworks, no analytics, no cookies. True to the "nothing" promise.

    Happy to discuss the concept, answer technical questions, or philosophize about why people would pay for nothing!
