The 3 mistakes that eat 500+ credits without a shippable product—and the pre-build setup that prevents them.

The 357-Credit Receipt

A real tour behind the scenes of karrot (auth, database, AI coach, MCP integration, and Paddle billing) and credits used

What it takes to make it sell

Why shipping the code is only half the job, and the launch foundations every SaaS needs before you invite users.
