Committing to building in public with a 30-day goal: launch a working SaaS MVP. Week 1 — landing page, Stripe checkout, onboarding, and v0.1 of the core feature.
Getting Stripe + Supabase + email to talk to each other used to block me for months. ChatAPI made it a 2-hour afternoon task.
I'm committing to building in public. I'm a non-technical founder, and my goal is simple: launch a working SaaS MVP in 30 days. This is my week 1 update.
By the end of the week I had four things live: a working landing page, a Stripe checkout flow, a user onboarding sequence, and v0.1 of the core product feature.
Here's the full tool breakdown. Design and front-end: Framer. API connections: ChatAPI — this is what connected everything together without me writing backend code; I described the logic I needed in plain English. Email: Loops. Payments: Stripe. Database: Supabase. Auth: Clerk. Deploy: Vercel.
The biggest win was getting Stripe, Supabase and email to actually talk to each other. That used to be the thing that blocked me for months. With ChatAPI it was a two-hour afternoon task.
The biggest challenge wasn't technical at all — it was deciding what not to build in week 1.
Total cost this week: $0, all on free tiers. Total time: about 20 hours. Week 2 update coming next Monday.
Auth, recurring billing, and a customer dashboard — pre-wired so you can charge from day one.
