Built with Claude · Second edition 2026

From Idea to Shipped in 20 HoursBuild, launch, and sell solo with AI

How a solo founder builds production-ready SaaS, marketplaces, and online shops with Claude. The guide, the templates, and the complete boilerplate code — auth, payments, email, legal, deployment, everything in. Plus the infrastructure that keeps it alive: a public API and an MCP server so AI agents discover and use your product, a „no-hardcoding“ standards discipline, four-tier gating, and a complete EU-sovereign migration path.

Three tiers: €19.99 (E-Book) · €69.99 (Templates) · €99.99 (Boilerplate) — or bundled for up to 12% off

What's inside

Five chapters that matter after launch

⚙️

The "No-Hardcoding" Discipline

Single-source patterns, pre-edit hooks, a verify gate, and a legacy "ratchet" — the machinery that keeps a solo codebase honest. Includes a real audit of the boilerplate.

🔌

API & MCP Infrastructure

A tier-based REST API + MCP server so AI agents discover and use your product. openapi.json / llms.txt as the new sitemap.

🔐

Four-Tier Gating

free / registered / pro / elite — server guard + UI hook from a single source of truth, with a generic feature matrix to adapt.

🛡️

Production Patterns

Append-only audit logs, region pinning around geo-blocks, upstream license audits, content embeds — resilience that fails loud, not silent.

🇪🇺

EU-Sovereign Rebuild

Migrate the whole stack to EU providers — with honest cost/maturity/DX trade-offs per building block. GDPR by architecture, not just on paper.

The unvarnished version of the story

I built tradingstrategies.work in 70 hours, alone. With all the dead ends, all the wrong decisions, all the learn-as-you-go.

Those 70 hours are now available as the guide, the setup templates, and the finished boilerplate code. With Tier 3, you need 20 hours max — because the foundation is built, and you just plug in your own product.

Not a marketing claim. The difference between 70 and 20 hours is the gap between learning as you go and starting from a proven foundation.

This book goes a step beyond shipping: it documents what keeps the product maintainable, discoverable by AI agents, and defensible under EU law once real users arrive — the things that decide whether month twelve is still fun.

Three tiers, three paths

Pick the package that matches your situation. Tier 1 to learn, Tier 2 to ship with Claude Code, Tier 3 to launch directly. Or combine as a bundle and save.

Tier 2 — Plus 3 CLAUDE.md Templates

Setup templates that let Claude Code structure your project for you

+

Three product-specific templates. Pick the matching one, hand it to Claude Code, and it asks you the right questions, lays out the file structure, and walks you step by step to a finished platform.

  • Generic Web Product — classic SaaS, business tools, plan-based web products
  • Marketplace — multi-sided platforms with provider/buyer flows and Stripe Connect
  • Content Platform — premium content, newsletters, community products

Plus: activation steps for each of the 11 optional modules (Blog, Social Composer, Custom Products, Admin Dashboard, Newsletter DOI, i18n, Telegram, Referral, Quality Filters, Mass-Delete-Guard, authedFetch).

With Tier 2 you still write the code — but with a clear roadmap and no guesswork. Templates are in English (Claude Code prompts).

Tier 3 — Plus the Full Boilerplate Code

Production-ready Next.js code where you just plug in your product

+

Included in the boilerplate

  • ✓ Complete authentication (Email/Password, Google OAuth with WebView fallback, Magic Link, TOTP/2FA)
  • ✓ Stripe integration (subscriptions, one-time, Customer Portal, full webhook lifecycle)
  • ✓ Resend (5 email templates, bilingual EN/DE: order confirmation, renewal, cancellation, refund, account deletion)

What you don't get

So you know what you still have to bring yourself:

  • Your specific product idea. What your SaaS does is your job.
  • A lawyer for serious legal questions. The legal templates are templates — not legal advice.
  • Business decisions. Tier 1/2/3 helps you build, not market.
  • Branding and logos beyond an accent color.
  • Lifetime updates. Second edition, 2026, one-time purchase.

About the author

Christian Luxi

Solo founder, software engineer. I built tradingstrategies.work alone in 70 hours with Claude — a production-ready trading platform with auth, payments, admin dashboard, GDPR compliance, everything.

This guide is the structured version of those 70 hours — every dead end removed, every lesson extracted, every pattern shipped as code in the Tier 3 boilerplate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which tier is right for me?+
Tier 1 if you want to learn the stack and build everything yourself — you get the full guide but write the code yourself (~35–40h). Tier 2 if you work with Claude Code and want the setup templates without having to write code (~27–30h). Tier 3 if you want to ship in 20 hours and need the production-ready code foundation — recommended for most. Or Bundle 2 for all three at ~11% off.
What's the difference between Amazon and Digistore for the e-book?+
Amazon costs $9.99 and delivers the e-book with Kindle DRM into your Amazon account. Digistore costs €19.99, delivers DRM-free as EPUB direct download. Same content, different platform lock-in. If you use Amazon's ecosystem: Amazon. If you want DRM-free and to read on any reader: Digistore.
Do I need prior experience?+
JavaScript basics are enough. No senior engineer level required. You should be comfortable with the command line, Git, API calls, and databases. If you can run `git clone` and `npm install`, you're good.
How much will my finished SaaS cost to run?+
About $30–40/month at MVP stage (Vercel Free, Supabase Free, Resend Free, domain ~$1). With live traffic and paying users, $80–100/month (Vercel Pro $20, Supabase Pro $25, eRecht24 €9, Pirsch €6).
Are updates included?+
No. Second edition, 2026, one-time purchase. If a future edition is released, it will be provided as a standalone update.
What language is the material in?+
The e-book is available in English and German (sold separately — this page is the English variant; German version via DE toggle at the top). The CLAUDE.md templates and the boilerplate code are in English, with bilingual EN/DE strings for user-facing text. The boilerplate is set up for DACH-market launches with German legal structure.
How does the money-back guarantee work?+
All products come with a 60-day money-back guarantee via Digistore24. If you're not satisfied within 60 days of purchase, you can request a refund without giving any reason — your money will be returned. Handled by Digistore24 as reseller, not by us. You also waive the statutory right of withdrawal for digital instant downloads (§ 356 (5) BGB) at checkout — but Digistore24's voluntary 60-day guarantee goes beyond that and applies in addition.
How does a bundle work technically?+
Each bundle is sold as one product on Digistore24. Delivery as a single ZIP archive with everything in the included tiers — no separate downloads per tier. Bundle 2 contains: e-book + all templates + boilerplate code in one ZIP.
What if I buy Tier 1 and later want Tier 3?+
You buy Tier 3 separately. There's no auto-upgrade path — the tiers are sold via Digistore24 as separate products. If you tested Tier 1 first and then want the full stack, email me; we'll find a pragmatic solution.
Will the code still work in 2027?+
Very likely yes. The tools used (Next.js, Supabase, Stripe, Resend, Vercel) are established. Dependency updates are typically backwards-compatible. If a major version of a vendor brings breaking changes, the adjustment is usually a few hours of work, not a full rewrite.
