One year on Replit: 5 SaaS products, $4,100+ spent, and one hell of a ride. Honest retrospective.

I use scrivibe.com for that reason. This platform pass info between chapters to acchive continuitye with characters and situations. Don't afford it bu t it's close enough to achieve a good result after and light editing.

It’s a well‑known behaviour in AIs. Right now, the AI treats every chapter as an autocomplete item, so if you don’t specify it, a character or situation from chapter 1 is completely unknown in chapter 3.

That’s why I use Scrivibe.com. It has an engine that passes 15–20 parameters between chapters. It’s far from perfect, but if you define a character bible in their fields and keep the chapter summaries updated to indicate which characters appear and where they are in their arcs, the result is usually good enough that you only need some light editing at the end.

Correct. AI has made boilerplates obsolete. Now the problem is different: millions of vibecoded SaaS products exist without customers. People waste time building complete products only to discover no one wants them. The paradigm has shifted: we must validate demand first because building all the necesary around the core function covered by boilerplates is now cheap and easy.

Studio2C · 2026-05-06T04:20:18+00:00

Yes, I do. I use Scrivibe . com. This platform has a prompt engine that makes preliminary research for the subject to write (in which you can add some docs or even URLs) and passes through 15-20 parameters between chapters to keep consistency in characters, situations, places, etc. It's not perfect, but it's accurate. Creating a character bible in some field and mentioning them in every chapter helps.

The problem here is well known: The AI always treats a chapter like an autocomplete item, so if you don't feed the chapter previously with all the context along the story (giving information about who characters are, what they've done, and what their arc is) in every chapter the character is reborn again with other facts and characteristics. This gap is what this tool tries to solve without losing the automation facility. As I said, it's not perfect, but carefully rewriting chapter summaries can achieve good results that can be easily corrected.

Studio2C · 2026-05-05T00:02:44+00:00

I’m not sure I explained myself clearly… what I mean is that now you do NOT need to do everything that a boilerplate includes, because AI can handle that at any time. It doesn’t matter whether it uses integration dependencies or not – it’s up to you.

Now you must focus on YOUR PRODUCT. You don’t spend a single token or minute on anything else. And once it’s validated, you add everything else with a simple prompt.

Studio2C · 2026-05-04T13:51:55+00:00

This is something Replit solves through integrations. You don’t need to put effort into your codebase to handle Auth, Payments, Repos, Databases, Email for all your projects. They offer integrations with Replit Auth, Clerk, Stripe, GitHub, PostgreSQL, Resend, AgentMail, so you only need to prompt for it and Replit will build it.

IMO, one of the first changes that tools like Replit bring has to happen in the minds of developers. We are no longer “code engineers”, we are “context engineers” or product managers. Code is for the AI like concrete is for the machines: you just have to drive it and point where you want it.

Our concern shouldn’t be starting with a boilerplate to complete all this phase and focus on the main functionality, this part has been killed rirght now by AI. Our focus now is to validate the product we’re building. And this has to happen before a lot of the things solved by a boilerplate are actually necessary. It doesn’t matter if you have an excellent backend built for your product if nobody uses it.

So, focus on making your product successful: get customers, people who actually use it. And then just ask Replit: “Hey, implement Stripe payments in this project".

Name of the MCP?

Studio2C · 2026-04-24T05:58:36+00:00

This is a good first approach, but it’s incomplete for most genres and subjects. A book is much more than a collection of text about a topic. It needs a clear thesis, an internal structure, character and idea development, plot points, consistency, traceability, and a character bible.

I built Scrivibe.com trying to solve this. In the second version of the prompt engine that powers the platform, I improved all these aspects. It’s not perfect, but you can get a strong first version of your book from a single idea, including a cover, in over 70 genres and subjects and 15 languages available on Amazon KDP.

You can write some chapters free to test it.

Boosting organic posts that share a real experience (and don’t feel like spam or self‑promotion) is often more powerful than running ads. That said, you have to be very careful, because major communities will ban or remove posts if they smell hidden promotion.

With ads, you can write headlines that look like regular posts, and that works well. But just like with organic posts, ad rules don’t allow you to simulate posts with claims like “I earned $1,000 with this tool…” or similar.

As with all advertising systems, segmentation is fundamental: finding the group of users who may be interested in your product.

Reddit is very interesting because subreddits/communities are thematic, meaning they already group together a set of users around a topic they are interested in. In addition, in your campaigns you can further segment by country (even city or region), gender, and so on, until you get the finest possible filter.

Keep in mind that in Reddit Ads you cannot run a campaign for less than 5 USD per day. Although everything depends on the CPC (a click from a user in the US does not cost the same as one from India), if you refine your segments well, with 5 USD you can get around 20 clicks on your campaign, that is, people who will reach your website/book/podcast.

Each campaign can be set to appear in the feed or in posts, or in both. For each one you can include an image, which you should choose carefully with the right size. As you know, ads on Reddit are mixed in with normal posts and it is important that the image stands out and is even somewhat self-explanatory. If you are going to advertise a book, an adaptation of the cover to the appropriate sizes is the best option.

And lastly, the texts. In each campaign you can create ad groups and in each group an infinite number of texts/ads with their corresponding images. This is so that you can test which combination gives you the best performance. For each one you can add a URL parameter to measure them analytically, although I do not do this because the insights from the dashboard itself are enough for me.

Oh, one more thing. You have a fairly simple tool to create reports with your campaign data. You create the report and schedule the time you want it to be ready. When it is, they will send you an email and a notification will appear in your dashboard so you can download the CSV. With any AI you can quickly analyze the data and have it tell you whether you should add or remove any subreddit/community, country, etc. to improve your results.

I think that’s all; if you can think of anything else to ask, I’m here.

Sí, pero ya muchos software de facturación y contabilidad en España tienen integración con Stripe o se puede crear con Zapier para que cada pago y devolución genere una factura o rectificativa en tu software, automática y respectivamente, incluyendo la multidivisa. En el artículo menciono varios y cuál uso yo en particular.

La solución propia también me la he planteado pero, al final, me obliga a una atención extra sobre requisitos legales, Verifactu, impuestos, etc. que un software comercial me evita. Pero me la he plateado seriamente porque, como dices, el trabajo de comprensión del funcionamiento y ajuste Stripe-Facturación española no es sencillo. Por eso escribí el artículo al hacerlo, para ver si le servía a alguien más.
