A comprehensive, AI-powered approach to building your SaaS from idea to paying customers in 2 weeks
What is "Vibe Coding"?
Building through conversation with AI tools (Loveable, ChatGPT, Cursor) in tight feedback loops:
describe → generate → run → notice the vibes (what feels off) → prompt edits → ship
Core Philosophy: Optimize for momentum, not perfection.
🚀 Phase 0: Pre-Flight (Day 1)
Goal: Crystal clear foundation before you write any code.
✅ Problem Definition
- [ ] Identify 1 painful problem you or your target audience has
- [ ] Define WHO experiences this problem
- [ ] Define WHEN they experience it
- [ ] Define WHY it hurts them
- [ ] Document HOW they solve it today
✅ Success Metrics
- [ ] Define your success KPI (e.g., "teams send invoices 3× faster" or "daily active ≥ 20 by day 14")
- [ ] Set realistic constraints: solo builder, $0–$50/mo infrastructure, 2-week MVP timeline
✅ Business Basics
- [ ] Choose name & secure handle (domain/social) — optional, don't let this block building
- [ ] Sketch pricing structure: free tier + $9/$29 monthly tiers; annual = 10× monthly
