Saas app- class management

I'm a People & Talent professional. No technical background. No CS degree. And four weeks ago I launched a SaaS app.

Here's the honest version of how it happened.

I used to run a home studio teaching on the side. The admin was relentless — tracking payments, messaging parents, managing schedules, chasing fees. I looked for software to fix it and everything I found was built for big schools with admin teams. Nothing existed for someone like me: one person, doing it all alone.

So I decided to build it myself using Claude Code as my development partner. I had no idea what I was doing at first. I broke things constantly. There were sessions where I spent hours debugging something I didn't fully understand. But I kept going.

Classnest launched in March 2026. It's a studio management app for independent, home-based teachers — attendance, student tracking, parent portal, automated payments via Stripe. Built in under 4 weeks.

I'm sharing this here because I think a lot of us have identified a real problem in our own lives and talked ourselves out of building something because we assumed we weren't "technical enough."

You don't have to be. You just have to be stubborn enough to keep going.

Happy to answer anything about the build process, the AI tools I used, or what it actually looks like to ship something with zero coding background.
