The plan
One weekend, three steps
- Friday eveningSet upPick an idea small enough to finish, and get your tools ready.Chapters 1 to 3
- SaturdayBuildDirect the AI to build your landing page, sign-in and core feature.Chapters 4 and 5
- SundayGo liveTest it, then put it on your own domain for anyone to use.Chapters 6 and 7
After the weekend, at your own pace: take payments with sales tax handled for you, keep it safe and cheap (about $20 to $50 a month), and get your first users. Chapters 8 to 11.
From chapter 4
You give the directions. The AI writes the code.
Your job is to say what you want, make the AI plan first, and approve one change at a time. The guide gives you five patterns that keep it on track, and 30 prompts you can copy.
Add a sign-in page with email links. Plan first: list what you'll change and why, then wait for my yes before writing any code.
Here's the plan:
- Add a sign-in page at /login
- Email a one-time sign-in link
- Show the dashboard only to signed-in people
Reply yes and I'll start with step 1.

Questions
Before you buy
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You need to read carefully, follow steps, and describe what you want. The guide shows you how to do that last part well.
Can I really build it in one weekend?
Version one, yes: a simple app with a landing page, sign-in and one core feature, live on your own domain. Payments and launch come after, at your own pace.
Is this vibe coding?
Yes, with guardrails. You describe what you want in plain words and the AI writes the code, but the guide has you plan first, approve each change and test it, so your app keeps working after the weekend.
Which tools does it use?
An AI coding assistant such as Claude Code, plus GitHub, Vercel and a database. Most have a free tier. The AI assistant costs about $20 a month.
What will my app cost to run?
Usually $20 to $50 a month at the start. The cost worksheet lists every service and when it starts charging.
What do I get, and how?
A 42-page PDF, plus text files with the prompts and templates. Gumroad emails you the download right after checkout.
Will it go out of date?
The tools change, so the guide teaches the steps and habits that stay the same. When a new edition comes out, you get it free.
