Proudly non-tech that didn't stop at the idea.
Full loop: idea→ build→ market→ revenue
#Buildinpublic €4.90 MRR → €15K goal. Documenting every step

@MaxRohowsky Congrats!

Built a full onboarding portal in 4 hours. €0 total cost. Forever.

Google Sheets as a database. Google Apps Script as a REST API. React on Vercel as frontend.
Sounds wrong. Works perfectly for a small firm.

Boring stack but useful.

Nobody talks about this in #buildinpublic:
How do you manage Claude chat context across a project?
New chat vs keep going? .md recap files? Something else?
I'm building with Claude daily and still figuring out my system.
Share yours.

@kidtsang Fair point. Though I've found switching between tools adds friction.
Claude + Cursor covers 90% of my needs as a non-tech founder. Less context-switching, more building.
What does GitHub Copilot give you that Cursor doesn't?

Quick poll for the #buildinpublic crowd:
What's your AI coding setup?
Mine as a non-tech:

Claude as PM / senior dev brain
Cursor for coding (underrated price-wise)

Is anyone going full Claude suite (Claude Code, Design, Cowork)?
What's working for you?

The bot works. Except for decimals.
€4.90 MRR saved as €490. Fixing it now.

Today I shipped:

Next.js 14 dashboard to track all my projects in real time
Supabase DB with live updates
Telegram bot to update everything from my phone

Personal use only. For now.
No CS background. Just Claude + Cursor + stubbornness.

@bas_fijneman Just launched my first product: https://t.co/0p3BfmxUtB - Non-tech founder, built with Claude + Cursor, first paying customer last week

[Marco Pontello @markkko22]

@thenowhereway Mine was tiktok direct comments! But it transformed into temporary ban after 10 days 😀 keep learning!

[Marco Pontello @markkko22]

@gouthamjay8 Congrats! That first sale hits different. Mine took 6 weeks — €4.90 but felt like $1M 😀 Keep going!

[Marco Pontello @markkko22]

@DanielSmidstrup Love this approach. I'm doing something similar — non-tech founder though, using Claude as PM and Cursor as dev. Launched OpFanta 6 weeks ago, first paying customer last week. Different market (Italian fantasy football) but same spirit. Following your journey.

[Marco Pontello @markkko22]

@Guronnimo Building https://t.co/0p3BfmxUtB — a stats platform for fantasy football leagues in Italy.
First paying customer last week. Long way to go but moving.
Road to €2K MRR here too. Let's connect!
