  • From Design to Development: The Technical Phase Begins [Day 8]
    Jan 28 2026

    Day 8 of building my SaaS in public - the technical phase begins!

    I have a landing page (I can sell) and UI/UX design (I can demo).
    Now it's time to wire up the functionality and bring this thing to life.

    What you'll learn:
    • Why set up a dev environment now (timing matters)
    • The Demo Account pattern for product-led qualification
    • Connecting Lovable to GitHub (two-way sync)
    • Pulling code locally for Cursor/Claude Code development
    • The bi-directional workflow (Lovable UI + local backend)

    Tools covered:
    • Lovable (lovable.dev) - UI/UX design
    • GitHub (github.com) - Version control
    • Cursor (cursor.com) - AI-powered code editor
    • Claude Code - Terminal-based AI coding

    The demo account change:
    Instead of hiding the dashboard behind auth, I converted it to a
    public "Demo Account" that anyone can explore. Product-led
    qualification - prospects see what they're getting before signing up.

  • Optimizing Your UI/UX to Demonstrate ROI
    Jan 27 2026

    Day 7 of building my SaaS in public - and today we're optimizing
    the UI/UX to get the app demo-ready.

    Your product doesn't just need to solve the problem - it needs to
    be easy to use AND clearly show the value it provides.

    The biggest change? Showing DOLLARS instead of hours.

    "47.5 hours captured" → "$12,350 recovered this month"

    Same data. Completely different impact. That's ROI hitting users
    right in the face.

    What you'll learn:
    • Why UI/UX optimization matters before the technical build
    • The #1 change that transforms perceived value (show dollars)
    • Adding collaboration features (status tracking, activity logs)
    • Navigation and usability quick wins
    • What to include before your first demo

    Changes I made:
    • Revenue chart instead of hours chart
    • Removed unnecessary dashboard tiles
    • Added report status tracking
    • Added activity log for collaboration
    • Fixed navigation (anchored menu)
    • Added Help & Support section
