Tools that helped me save time + money building SaaS (no-code + dev friendly)
Sharing a few tools that made my life easier as a solo builder — hope it helps someone:
• Cursor – AI coding assistant right inside the IDE (surprisingly helpful for fast iteration)
• Supabase – Instant backend, auth, DB, free tier is generous
• Vercel – One-click deploys for frontend
• Lemon Squeezy → Dodo Payments – Started with Lemon for ease, moved to Dodo for better long-term fees
• ChatGPT + Claude – Great for prototyping copy, logic, onboarding, etc.
If you’re building solo or with a small team — these tools reduce friction like crazy.
