Mom, I made a SaaS in 32 hours
There’s so much hype about building SaaS in “1 hour” with CursorAI, GPT, Cloud, you name it. I decided to try something more "realistic": building a SaaS in 2 days. I grabbed my favorite tools like Cursor, ChatGPT, and a simple stack: NestJS + MongoDB + NuxtJS, and started my weekend challenge.
Spoiler: 16 hours wasn't enough. So, I extended it to 32 hours—and finally finished in 33 hours. Did I beat the challenge? Feels like a win to me.
I built UniqMail, a simple tool for sending personalized cold emails with AI. It’s straightforward—create a project, upload your data, and let AI handle the personalization. Plus you can connect your provider for sending emails directly. And yes I implemented credentials encryption so your data is safe :-)
No hype, no over-engineering. Just a clean, efficient tool that gets the job done.
It’s live now, perfect for anyone in sales, HR, or marketing who sends a lot of emails.
Curious to try? Feedback is more than welcome!

I think the bigger point has been lost. Whether coding an MVP takes an hour, a day, a week, or a month, the bigger point is that the actual coding is not the main blocker to launching a successful product. It used to be. A decade ago, coding was a fairly rare skill. Then everyone wanted to learn to code. Many did. Now, it is taught in schools as part of basic literacy. And yes, AI helps. So the the ability to code is no longer the gatekeeper on creating a product that it used to be.
I totally agree. Nowadays the product itself is more important + ability to find actual clients.
