Your competitors will take this as an opportunity to work harder than you and end up outperforming you and putting you out of business.
I once believed in this "build once and customers will come forever" thing (really wished it was possible!), but in reality you end up constantly improving your product to keep up w/ your competitors. Maybe not all the time, but it's not 0% work when looking on a long-term perspective.
At least that's speaking from my experience building #crisp ; maybe on some niches it's not needed and much more relaxed.
I agree, I do as well enjoy competition. We've had a phase were competitors were not really innovative anymore with #crisp, going upwards to enterprise, and it became a bit boring for us product-wise, like "we made it, there's nothing else to be done". AI has resumed the competition race, and it's never been more exciting to wake up in the morning!

This. I WISH more of my competitors got complacent. It'd make it a lot easier for me (but way less fun because I enjoy fierce competition).
Innovation is half the fun for me. I bet if I were creating a SaaS product, it'd be even MORE fun!
