The weekend I became a SaaS founder (for 48 hours)

Annika Helendi · Beginner ·🛠️ AI Tools & Apps ·5mo ago
Over a single weekend, I built a complete SaaS product. User authentication through Supabase. Stripe payment integration with a credit-based system. Backend workflows running on Make.com to generate SEO-optimized content. It actually worked. I published a video about it feeling like a genius. Then I immediately took down the signup link because I was terrified. Errors started appearing within days. I’d fix one thing and break two others. Every time someone would have signed up and paid, I’d be charging them for a broken service I couldn’t debug. The uncomfortable truth: Building something in a weekend feels amazing. Keeping it running requires actual technical skills I don’t have.
