Vibe coding did not kill making money out of engineering, open source and SaaS

I've built an i18n system that I started coding last year. Engineering it was cool: it's an i18n system with no keys (because I hate looking at my codebase with keys everywhere) and designed in a way that, by design, there can not be any hole in translation. Of course I use it for all my projects, I start i18n from scratch now whereas before I would wait the last moment, or I would leave it in English, which misses a growth boost. Anyway, I liked it so much that I thought I would make a Saa

痛点：i18n 接入繁琐、传统 key 系统在 AI agent 与 UGC 场景下易漏翻且体验差，而现成 i18n SaaS 又定价过高。

目标用户：独立开发者、SaaS 构建者，以及依赖 AI 编码 agent 做多语言的工作流用户。

证据：i18n was such a pita to setup, and i18n Saas are insanely expensive... vibe coding makes i18n not the same pain as before, it has just become a 'setup i18n in this codebase' prompt. So maybe I don't have a product anymore.

变现：极低价的订阅制 SaaS（按项目/请求量计费），并开源实现库引流，靠托管服务与团队协作功能收费。

MVP：2 周内做一个 keyless i18n 的 CLI + SDK：扫描代码自动提取待翻译文案、对接一个翻译 API、自动回填，并提供 agent 可调用的 MCP/命令行接口，先做单语言对（如 zh→en）验证。

竞品：Lokalise、Crowdin、Phrase、Tolgee、Weblate、i18next

摘要：作者自研了一套无 key 的 i18n 系统，去年动手、现已做成低价 SaaS（i18n-keyless.com），卖点是传统 i18n 难配置、同类 SaaS 极贵。但随着 vibe coding 普及，接入 i18n 变成一句提示词，他担心产品失去市场，同时认为无 key 方案对 AI agent 和 UGC 场景仍优于旧系统。帖子没有披露任何真实收入或付费客户，需求主要停留在作者个人判断。
