What it takes to build a database docs SaaS from scratch (honest post-mortem)

35 features, 35 migrations, CI gates, Playwright E2E, Sentry, dark-mode design. No AI API dependency. Here's the full build story — and why I'm selling it at $9K.
I spent months on Vizora1. Here's what actually went into it — no marketing gloss.

• Design: dark-mode-first, dark navy (#0a0a0f) + cyan/blue accents. Not a default Tailwind theme — a real design system.
• Features: auto-docs, ERD diagrams, AI explanations, change tracking, backend roadmap, annotations, multi-DB parsing (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, Prisma, Drizzle, DuckDB).
• Tests: Playwright E2E + Vitest, running in CI before every merge.
• Monitoring: Sentry connected, errors tracked in real-time.
• Code quality: TypeScript everywhere, Zod validation, no any without justification.

The real investment: a solo founder's full-time focus for months, with 10 beta users giving real feedback.

The result is finished code, a live product, and a ready buyer pipeline. I'm not dumping — I'm passing it to someone with time to distribute it.

Asking: $9,000. Demo: vizora1.vercel.app.
