Building a SaaS in 48 Hours: A Realistic Approach

Building a functional MVP in 48 hours requires a shift in mindset from platform-building to feature-building.

The Core Principles

• Limit your scope: If it takes more than 6 hours to build, it is too complex.
• Use AI for the tedious stuff: Generate your schema and endpoints with LLMs.
• Integrate rather than innovate: Use Stripe and Supabase for core services.

Technical Implementation

Use your tools to handle the heavy lifting of boilerplate code so you can focus on the unique logic of your application.

// Quick integration of third-party SDKs
import { createClient } from '@supabase/supabase-js';
const supabase = createClient(URL, KEY);
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Key takeaway: Velocity comes from simplifying the architecture and relying on battle-tested providers.
