You just need to understand what you're building.
Vibe Coding My First SaaS is a practical, no-fluff series about what it actually takes to turn an idea into working software with AI — from planning and building to testing, launching, and dealing with all the things nobody mentioned when you typed, “Just build it.”
Parts 1, 2, 3 + The 300-Page Companion · ~600 pages total
Buy one part to focus on what's in front of you, or follow the complete journey from idea to launched product. Each part stands on its own — together they cover the whole path.
From idea to a working plan—without pretending you're a developer.
Turning an idea into an actual plan, understanding workflows, thinking through requirements and permissions, working effectively with AI, and avoiding the mistake of building before understanding what needs to be built.
Find the problems, fix the issues, and make sure it actually works.
QA, testing, troubleshooting, separating test environments from production, managing changes, catching unintended consequences, and learning the difference between “it works” and “it's ready.”
Take your application into the real world.
Taking the application into the real world, including domains, integrations, mobile apps, publishing, payments, infrastructure, app stores, production issues, and what happens after the software actually becomes a product.
Don't Just Read It. Build Along With It.
Clearly not a small bonus workbook — this is an approximately 300-page substantial companion resource. Packed with exercises, worksheets, planning tools, prompts, matrices, checklists, and hands-on activities designed to help readers apply the concepts from the Vibe Coding series directly to their own software idea.

I didn't write a book about what I thought vibe coding might be like.
I built a SaaS.
I broke things. Fixed things. Rebuilt things I should have planned better the first time. Dealt with databases, permissions, payments, APIs, mobile apps, app stores, production bugs, and the occasional AI that was extremely confident about something that was completely wrong.
This series is what I wish someone had handed me before I started.
No coding degree required. No pretending this is magic.
Just a practical look at what happens when a business person decides, “Fine. I'll build it myself.”
