Builder Guide

The opinionated playbook for shipping AI in India.

Five chapters, six rules, zero fluff. Everything below has been battle-tested by founders in the VibeCode community who went from side project to full-time income.

01
Chapter 01

Pick a stack and stick to it

Choose Lovable + Supabase + Cursor + n8n and go deep for 90 days. Every new tool tax is another week you don't ship. Depth compounds. Breadth burns you out.

02
Chapter 02

Ship every Friday, in public

One post a week — screenshot, short caption, honest number. Momentum comes from being visible on a schedule. The first 20 posts feel awkward. Post 21 lands you your first user.

03
Chapter 03

One project, one community

Join exactly one community that matches your niche. Show up daily for two weeks. Answer three questions before you ask one. You'll leave with three collaborators and one paying customer.

04
Chapter 04

Charge from day one

Free tiers are a marketing tactic, not a business model. Charge ₹499/month for the smallest useful thing. If nobody pays, you don't have a product — you have a demo. That's information.

05
Chapter 05

Bill in INR, price in USD

For services and SaaS aimed at the West, quote in USD. Your Bengaluru cost base is a moat. Use Stripe, Razorpay, or Payoneer — all supported, all fee-transparent on VibeCode.

The six rules

Print these. Tape them to your monitor.

  • 1Ship broken things. Fix in public.
  • 2Reply to every DM in your first year.
  • 3Write your postmortems — someone else will need them.
  • 4Never fake numbers. The community will find out.
  • 5Say no to features that pull you off your one thing.
  • 6Build with a friend. Solo is heroic; teams win.
