Vibe-coded my first real SaaS from a pain I had as a freelancer for years

I freelanced for several years. Every project same mess.

Client wants “the usual stack.” I open 47 browser tabs, dig through old invoices, Slack, Notion, a half-dead spreadsheet titled tools_FINAL_v3.xlsx. Then I try to remember which tools they actually use, what each costs, and how that looks when I invoice them.

I always thought: someone should build a clean place for this.

Then AI coding got good enough that “someone” could be me.

So I vibe-coded Toolhub.

It’s basically:

  • Your software tools in one place (prices included)
  • Catalogs = reusable stack presets (“web project starter”, “branding package”, whatever)
  • Customers get their own tool selection + cost view
  • PDF invoices from those selections when you need to look professional instead of sending a screenshot of Excel

Stack for the curious: Next.js, tRPC, Prisma, Clerk, Stripe. Classic T3-ish SaaS, shipped end-to-end with a lot of AI pair-programming and a lot of “why is this type error real at 2am.”

Free Starter plan if you want to poke around — no card. Enough for solo freelancers to get their stack out of their head.

If you’re also shipping side projects from your own scars — would love roast / feedback. Especially on the catalogs → customers → invoice flow. That was the part I needed most when I was freelancing.
