You're not building Vercel. You're using Vercel to build the thing you're actually trying to build. Close the tab. Open a terminal.

The UI is a weekend. The model is a PhD thesis. You're not building remove.bg — you're training the neural net that makes the hair strands look right. That's the whole product.

Tally is what happens when someone notices Typeform charges $50/mo for an if-statement. The form builder is a weekend; the block-editor UX that makes it feel like Notion is a month.

The recording button is a weekend. The latency is a month. The AI bug reports are someone else's month. You're not cloning Loom — you're cloning the "it just works" part, and that's the whole ballgame.

Typeform is a form builder that spent a decade convincing people that asking questions one at a time is revolutionary — and honestly, it worked. The form is easy; the feeling is the product.

· Next.js 15 + Framer Motion (animated form player)
· Supabase (responses, contacts, auth)

The process (lol)

Three steps. Two are us.

The third step is you, on the couch, telling yourself you'll start tomorrow. That's fine. We've been there.

STEP 01

Paste the URL

Of the SaaS you're about to subscribe to in a moment of weakness. Or the one you just did.

STEP 02

We do the thing

Our robot scans the site, sniffs the JS, and renders judgment with the calm confidence of someone who's never been hugged.

STEP 03

Get the goods

A buildability score, an itemized stack receipt, a time estimate, and a linked tutorial list. Then you ignore it and subscribe anyway.

loud fans

People who exist are saying things.

These are real quotes from real users if you squint and also accept that 'real' is a social construct.

Saaspocalypse told me my 'Uber for dogs' was a Google Form. It was. I saved $40k.

Cancelled 11 subscriptions in one afternoon. My wife thinks I have a new girlfriend and her name is SQLite.

Built three of them this weekend. Launched zero. Normal stuff.

I raised $8M for what this site just told a college freshman he could build in 11 hours. No notes.

I don't know what 'Supabase' is but the robot says it costs zero dollars so I'm firing our SaaS budget.
