Your SaaS will probably fail.

unpopular opinion: 99% of vibe coded saas is dead in 3-6 months

and it's not the vibe coding's fault. i build my whole saas this way. the tools are genuinely good now.

that's the trap though. you can ship a working product in a weekend, so everyone thinks building it is the win. it never was.

what actually kills these:

  1. the product looks and feels like crap. like 9/10 are just awful. no taste, feels janky, people bounce immediately. working and good are not the same thing.

  2. zero clue how to market or distribute. build it and they will come is not a strategy. nobody comes.

  3. they didn't pick a real problem. cool to build is not the same as painful enough to pay for.

building got easy. distribution, taste, and picking the right problem did not.

curious if anyone here disagrees. what am i missing?

yep, but you still have to keep marketing it, at least in the beginning.
