What people think they need to start:
→ A logo: $300
→ A website: $2,000
→ A developer: $5,000/month
→ 6 months of planning
What I actually needed:
→ Claude: $20/month
→ Lovable: $25/month
→ One weekend
Ship first, perfect later.
Unpopular opinion:
You don't need Cursor.
Claude alone will outbuild most developers if you know how to prompt it.
Cursor is for people who already code.
Claude is for people who want results.
The tool isn't the edge.
The prompt is.
SaaS idea nobody has built properly:
Automated review requests for barbershops.
Cut done → auto-text 2 hours later → Google review link.
Average barbershop: 30 cuts/day.
Current review request rate: ~2% (manual).
Automated rate: ~18%.
That's 5x more reviews per month.
I'd charge $79/month.
They'd pay it in 10 minutes.
vibecoding starter pack:
→ app works perfectly on localhost
→ deploy to Vercel
→ nothing works
→ ask Claude to fix it
→ Claude breaks 3 other things
→ cry
→ it works
→ you have no idea why
