I wasted 60 hours planning my SAAS before writing a single line of code - built a tool to fix this

I wasted 60 hours planning my SaaS before writing a single line of code - built a tool to fix this

Body:

Most builders hit the same wall: turning "I have an idea" into "here's exactly what to build"

Not the coding part. The decisions before it.

Which architecture pattern? Monolith or microservices? What database? How do you handle auth? What's the actual build sequence?

Senior devs have mental frameworks. Solo founders start from scratch every time.

I spent 60 hours planning my last project - researching tech stacks, drawing architecture diagrams, mapping features. By the time I started coding, momentum was dead.

So I built VibeCodeMentor to compress this.

What it does:

  • Turn any rough idea into a complete technical blueprint
  • Architecture decisions made (with reasoning)
  • Tech stack chosen based on requirements
  • Step-by-step implementation roadmap

Input: "I want to build a task management app with real-time collaboration"
Output: Full system design, recommended stack, build sequence

Not trying to replace planning. Just compress 10 hours into 30 minutes so you can start building.

Built this because I kept hitting the same bottleneck. If you've spent weeks in planning hell, might help.
