Build a SaaS in a weekend that actually has market fit, an identified ICP, and scalable code and architecture…

ALL without writing a single prompt yourself!

[Jacob Counsell @JacobCounsell]

And we're only going to optimize the prompt engine further, we should see greater savings and better output after some enhancements to the prompt engine.

[Jacob Counsell @JacobCounsell]

Claire is literally on a $20 plan and built an entire fucking app in 3 days and only used 10% of her weekly tokens because of LaunchChair... All while writing zero prompts...

That's actually insane!

[Jacob Counsell @JacobCounsell]

@scott_smallbiz @tinytechfox 😂😂😂

[Jacob Counsell @JacobCounsell]

It’s 5 o’clock and Claire and I are finishing our 3-day builds, she wanted a week and thought she couldn’t do it!

Big props to @tinytechfox who doesn’t have a technical background finishing a pretty complex product in 3 days while doing Mom duties and working on real work! 👏👏👏

[Jacob Counsell @JacobCounsell]

These 3 build cards at the end of every @LaunchChair build are absolute gold!

[Jacob Counsell @JacobCounsell]

@Inglehoff @LaunchChair You should man! It’s very accurate, pretty granular feedback and actionable insights on how to fix the issues.

[Jacob Counsell @JacobCounsell]

Day 3 of the 3-day @LaunchChair build. I thought you guys might want to actually see what we're building so here's a demo of the working MVP for our 3-day build.

When today is done i'll be sharing a link so you can actually test out the 3-day build for yourself!

[Jacob Counsell @JacobCounsell]

Crazy that with LaunchChair I was able to create a better scanner tool than like 99% of paid options in only 3 days without ever writing a prompt.

Stoked to share the 3-day build with you, the scans are actually super solid and we’ve already found some issues we need to fix with our sites from testing it.

[Jacob Counsell @JacobCounsell]

@Jordynww @LaunchChair LaunchChair was on X-games mode with this one! 🤣

[Jacob Counsell @JacobCounsell]

@RoyInProgress @LaunchChair Link so you can scan your site coming shortly! 🙌

[Jacob Counsell @JacobCounsell]

@JustJerry121 @LaunchChair Fun little 3-day build. Honestly with @LaunchChair I could do these in a day if I didn't have real work I needed to do.

[Jacob Counsell @JacobCounsell]

@sarah_robiin @LaunchChair Hope you have some sites to scan!

[Jacob Counsell @JacobCounsell]

Check this out @alexkaybuilds @RoyInProgress @justinhammon_ @oscargaske

[Jacob Counsell @JacobCounsell]

@LeadGenMatt @LaunchChair I’ll probably reach out to the guy and tell him to scan his site for himself. He has some crucial issues that need to be fixed.

[claire @tinytechfox]

No matter what kind of day I’m having there are a few people recently who consistently bring good vibes and genuine belly laughs…

I am sure I’ll remember more of you and I’ll add you in the comments 🫶

[Jacob Counsell @JacobCounsell]

@sherifpeterson @nostrinsurer There’s a large card on how to fix this after you enter your URL and this is intentional. Please familiarize yourself with the core functionality of the site if you want to better understand why we do this, hit “start hopping” on the homepage.

[Jacob Counsell @JacobCounsell]

@oscargaske @LaunchChair It pulls from tons of different sources, synthesizes from a bunch of different sources, and gives you a very easy to consume dashboard for all of the data. Should only take like 30 minutes and it will act as a source of truth for ICP and competitor intelligence.

[Jacob Counsell @JacobCounsell]

We’re not BYOK / BYOM, we’re not a wrapper in any way. We work with any agent. Zero security concerns within LC as you never login with anything inside of LC. All we store is your spec, build progress, and PRD. The way the build process works is we auto generate feature specific / task specific prompts based off splicing your PRD, you run those in whatever agent you use (Claude, codex, windsurf, cursor) and those agents respond with JSON, you paste that Jason back into LC and we automatically check off acceptance criteria, give you testing notes for manual QA, and append any SQL you need to run to that build card.

[Jacob Counsell @JacobCounsell]

In anticipation of Codex Sites we’re releasing a new stack option in LaunchChair specifically for Sites.

I’m excited about this! This is going to make creating complex production ready and scalable products even faster. This means virtually zero stack setup in LaunchChair…

[claire @tinytechfox]

@JonBuildsHQ I’m about to complete a 3 day build challenge!
