Stack (Indie-Founder Default)

Frontend + backend: Lovable. React + Vite + Tailwind + Supabase ships in one click. Fallback: Bolt + Vercel + Supabase. Auth: Supabase Auth — email, magic link, Google, Apple. GDPR compliance: ship a user-delete endpoint on day one. Database: Supabase Postgres. Let the AI draft RLS policies, but audit every line manually. Payments: - US/EU customers → Stripe. - Local market → regional processor (iyzico in Turkey, Razorpay in India, MercadoPago in LATAM). - Hybrid → both. Route by IP country. Hosting: Vercel (Lovable connects in one click) + custom domain. Email: Resend or Postmark. Free tier covers first 3K sends/mo. Analytics: Vercel Analytics + Plausible (cookie-less, GDPR-clean).

Distribution Channels for First 100 Customers

In order of return-per-effort: 1. Direct outreach. 100 personalized DMs to people who explicitly asked for what you built. 2. LinkedIn personal feed. B2B audiences. Story-driven posts. 3. Reddit. r/SaaS, r/sideproject, r/indiebiz, niche subreddit for your vertical. 4. Product Hunt. Tuesday-Thursday launch is best. 5. YouTube demo. 5-minute product walk-through with captions. 6. Community forums. Indie Hackers, Vibe Coding Turkey, niche Discord servers in your vertical.

1. Over-engineering the stack. Lovable defaults are good enough; ship. 2. Delaying payments. A product that can't take money is a hobby. 3. Underpricing. Start at $25/mo, not $5/mo. Discounts are easy, raises are hard. 4. Ignoring legal. Privacy policy, terms, GDPR — real risk. 5. Coding before talking to customers. Ten conversations beat a week of features.

How much budget do I need?

First month: $50. Lovable Pro ($25) + Stripe ($0 fixed) + Supabase free + domain ($12/yr) + email free. Scale as revenue grows.

How many hours per week?

Full-time: 4 weeks. Side project at 10 hrs/wk: 8-10 weeks.

Solo or with a co-founder?

Solo is faster to first 100 customers. Look for co-founder when you hit $1K MRR.

Sole prop / individual taxpayer at first. Form a company when monthly revenue is consistent enough to justify the overhead ($2K MRR).

Stripe inflow = report as service revenue in your country. Set aside 20-30% for tax. A monthly accountant runs $50-100 and is worth it from month two.

Which metric matters most?

First 90 days: weekly active users (WAU). After 90 days: MRR and churn rate.

Q: Why Vibe Coding for SaaS?

A SaaS launch used to take 3-6 months: setting up the stack, writing auth, integrating payments, deploying. By 2026 vibe coding tools open all of that in the first week. The rest of your time goes to customer discovery, copy, and distribution. The key truth: product quality alone doesn't decide outcome. The right person seeing your product at the right moment decides. Vibe coding gives you the "find the right person → code the feedback fast" loop in days, not months.
