Do you know how easy it is to build something digitally and launch it publicly in less time? I built my SaaS in around 20 days with consistency and discipline.
When the thought of building a SaaS came to my mind, I had no idea how to start or how it would solve real-world problems for users. I lacked clarity about the product I wanted to build. Later, I spent time finding clarity about what I really needed to build. Questions like: Will this make me profitable later or not? kept coming to mind.
Eventually, I realized the best approach was to start small in order to gain experience building a product. I decided not to overthink about profitability, but instead to focus on making the product genuinely useful for others.
So, I created a weekly plan (a sprint in Notion). I tracked all progress daily and marked tasks as: what to work on today, what was pending, and what was completed. I also planned priority tasks for the next day. This helped me dedicate fixed time blocks to building my SaaS product.
Here’s the detailed explanation of the SaaS I built:

Lessons I learned
- I felt full of joy throughout this process.
- It seemed easy for me because I’m a software developer.
- The experience was very satisfying since I was building something for myself.
- Whether the product becomes profitable or not, I gained valuable experience in building a product.
But after building, we also need strong marketing skills alongside technical skills. Learning marketing and selling is so important. Currently, I’m learning marketing and looking forward to building new products and trying them out in public.
