§ Recipe

Build a SaaS.

The leanest path from idea to revenue. Every tool here has a generous free tier or open-source fallback, and every step pulls its weight — no decorative infra, no premature scale.

  1. Architecture partner

    01

    Before you write code, argue with Claude about the schema, auth model, and pricing tiers. It catches half of the shape you'd otherwise refactor on day 14.

  2. UI scaffolding

    02

    Describe a dashboard, get working Tailwind + shadcn/ui React. Not pixel-perfect, but 80% of the chrome done in minutes means you ship the actual business logic faster.

  3. Code editor

    03

    This is where the V0 output becomes a real codebase. Multi-file edits, agentic refactors, tab-complete that understands your domain. Non-negotiable.

  4. Full-stack prototype

    04

    When you want a throwaway Next.js + Supabase prototype live in 5 minutes to test a flow before committing. Wasted iterations are the expensive kind.

  5. Launch research

    05

    Who are the three closest competitors, priced how, positioned against whom? Perplexity with citations is faster than any human consultant and less biased than Twitter.

  6. Internal docs

    06

    You'll forget why you made every decision. Notion AI will remember and summarize, and turns your scattered product thinking into an actual living spec.
