A £1,500-a-year quiz platform renewal, replaced in 20 minutes
Milly Tamati's quiz platform renewal was coming up at £1,500 a year, which raised the question: could they build their own with Claude and Beehiiv's MCP? Twenty minutes later, it was built. The caveats are worth keeping: Milly only vibe-codes simple apps, never complicated ones that need security or infrastructure, and credits Beehiiv's MCP for most of the speed. Note the plot twist here. One SaaS helped kill another. The quiz platform fell, and the newsletter tool picked up the loot.
Saving, as stated by the author: £1,500/year renewal
holy smokessss!!!! our quiz platform renewal was coming up for £1500/yr and i was like.. wonder if i could build out our own with claude + @beehiiv
20 mins later...
IT'S BUILT
Few takeaways:
~ I vibecode my own *simple* apps, never complicated ones that require security / infra etc.~ @beehiiv's MCP continuously blows my socks off. I dunno how long this would have taken to build manually.. days?? more??
~ i am stunned.
