Sharing the journey from idea → product → first paying customers.
Building in public from Nigeria 🇳🇬

Day 1 of 100.

I’m building Healix AI — an all-in-one AI health companion.

Most people don’t understand their medications.

I'm going to fix that...

One AI that scans your meds, tracks your habits, explains symptoms, and coaches you toward better health.

100 days to ship😉.

[Uthman Sani @UthmanSani03]

Hey @grok is this true??😁😁

[Uthman Sani @UthmanSani03]

Here’s how I’d approach getting my first $100 MRR:

- Find one painful problem.
- Talk to 10 potential customers.
- Build the smallest useful solution.
- Offer a simple $9.99/month plan.
- Find 10 people willing to pay.
- Listen to their feedback and improve.

10 customers × $9.99 = $100 MRR.

It sounds simple on paper.

But getting those first five people to trust your product is where the real learning happens.

I’m in the library, busy working. I didn’t even realize when I fell asleep.

While sleeping, I was still thinking about the work in front of me, and I woke up with my eyes still full of sleep because I have goals and deadlines to achieve.

Every hour means something to me. 😭😭

[Uthman Sani @UthmanSani03]

AI coding tools are creating two types of founders.

Those who use AI to understand and build better products.

And those who copy generated code without knowing what it does.

Both might ship an MVP.

But when authentication breaks, payments fail, or users encounter bugs, understanding your system becomes important.

AI can write code.

It can’t replace your responsibility for the product you’re shipping.

When you get serious about your dreams, ready to……….

Be lonely…….
Be anxious…..
Be called crazy…..
Fail countless times……
Be tired……
Work all night…..

And then…….

You Succeed🎉.

You don’t need a big team to build a startup in 2026.

Here’s your startup toolkit:

1. Choose your tech stack

Next.js
Supabase
PostgreSQL
Node.js
Vercel

2. Build your MVP with AI

Cursor
Claude Code
Google Antigravity
Lovable
Bolt
Replit Agent

3. Marketing & Distribution

X (Twitter)
Instagram
YouTube
TikTok
Threads

4. Payments & Monetization

Stripe
Polar
Dodo Payments
Lemon Squeezy

5. Analytics & Growth

PostHog
Google Analytics
Microsoft Clarity

You don’t need 10 developers, a massive office, or millions in funding to get started.

One person can now build, launch, market, and monetize a real product.

But remember:

AI makes building easier. It doesn’t make getting customers easier.

Stop waiting for the perfect team.

Start building.

Who Ever Want Success Must Endure Sleepless Nights 📍😭

[Uthman Sani @UthmanSani03]

Exactly! AI has made building software easier than ever, but getting people to actually use and pay for what you’ve built is a completely different challenge. I’m learning this firsthand with Postavio. I think the founders who can combine technical skills with sales, marketing, and distribution will have a huge advantage.

[Uthman Sani @UthmanSani03]

Unpopular opinion: Building a SaaS is becoming easier. Getting customers isn’t.

AI can help you create a landing page, build a dashboard, and connect a database in days.

But AI won’t automatically convince someone to pay $20/month for your product.

You still need to understand your customers, solve a real problem, and earn their trust.

The next generation of successful indie hackers won’t just be great builders.

They’ll understand distribution.

[Uthman Sani @UthmanSani03]

5 ways to market your SaaS without spending $1 on ads:

1. X - Share your building journey and teach what you’re learning.

2. Reddit - Find communities where your potential customers hang out.

3. Product Hunt - Launch to people who enjoy discovering new tools.

3. LinkedIn - Reach professionals with specific problems.

5. YouTube Shorts - Demonstrate your product in action.

Don’t try everything at once.

Find where your customers spend time, show them real value, and double down on what works.

[Uthman Sani @UthmanSani03]

Exactly! That’s something I’m learning while building Postavio. It’s easy to get excited about features and start building, but real conversations can completely change your priorities. I’m planning to spend more time talking to potential users instead of just making assumptions. Curious to hear what you’ve learned from students while building Simplyr!

[Uthman Sani @UthmanSani03]

I’m curious about something.

If you were starting a SaaS from zero today, with a small budget and no existing audience, what would you focus on first?

A) Building an MVP

B) Growing an audience

C) Talking to potential customers

D) Finding a co-founder

I’m currently building Postavio and trying to balance product development with distribution.

Would love to hear how experienced founders would approach it.

[Uthman Sani @UthmanSani03]

That’s a fair question! I haven’t done enough direct user interviews yet to give you a reliable number. I’ve mainly been researching competitors and identifying problems creators face with producing consistent, high-quality content. That’s something I want to validate properly by talking to real creators before and after launch. I’m learning that building fast is only half the battle!

[Uthman Sani @UthmanSani03]

@ahamam101 Connected! Nice to meet you man….✌️

[Uthman Sani @UthmanSani03]

I just put a date on the calendar.

November 7, 2026.

The day I officially launch Postavio.

I’m 19, building my first SaaS from Nigeria, and I’ve spent countless hours coding, debugging, and figuring things out as I go.

I’m nervous, excited, and honestly a little scared.

But I don’t want to keep building forever without shipping.

5 days left.

No more endless polishing. It’s time to ship.

In sha Allah, November 7 is the day. 🚀

Who’s launching something this month?

[Uthman Sani @UthmanSani03]

@UGC_SamanthaS I’m in your DM…..

[Uthman Sani @UthmanSani03]

Looking for UGC creators in the US 🇺🇸 and UK 🇬🇧!

I build an AI SaaS called Postavio and would love to connect with creative people who make authentic, engaging short-form videos for equity.

If you’re a UGC creator based in the US or UK, drop a comment or send me a DM.

Let’s connect! 🚀

Reposts appreciated! 🤝

@mikeprovcreates See you man……✌️

[Uthman Sani @UthmanSani03]

[Uthman Sani @UthmanSani03]

@mikeprovcreates Appreciated! I’m in your DM man

[Uthman Sani @UthmanSani03]

That’s a really smart approach! Talking to potential customers before building not only helps validate the idea but also gives you a head start on distribution. Instead of launching and wondering where to find users, you already have people to reach out to. Definitely something more founders should do!
