What Is CodeFast?

If you have an idea for an online product but zero coding background, CodeFast promises to get you from blank screen to live SaaS in just two weeks. The course was created by indie-maker Marc Lou after launching more than two dozen micro-startups himself. Inside you’ll find 12 hours of bite-sized video lessons (215 in total) that teach only the 20 percent of web-dev skills most founders actually use — then push you to ship a minimum-viable product, gather feedback, and iterate. 

Unlike traditional bootcamps aimed at corporate interviews, CodeFast is built for entrepreneur-types who want to move fast, let AI do the heavy lifting, and start charging real customers as soon as possible.

Key Features of CodeFast

14-Day “Zero-to-SaaS” Curriculum

The course is broken into three macro-modules: The Mindset (15 min), The Fundamentals (1 h 15 m), and Your First SaaS (10 h 26 m). By Day 14 you’ll have user auth, recurring payments, and a deploy button ready to click. 

AI-Assisted Coding Workflow

From GitHub Copilot prompts to “explain this bug” workflows, CodeFast teaches you how to lean on generative AI so you spend less time memorising syntax and more time shipping features customers pay for. 

Real-World Stack & Integrations

You’ll build with Next.js, React, Tailwind CSS, MongoDB, Stripe or Lemon Squeezy for payments, and Resend for transactional emails. Everything is deployed on Vercel, mirroring the toolchain used by many profitable indie products in 2025. 

Private community & Instructor Support

Enrollment includes lifetime access to a Discord server where Marc and thousands of other founders trade code snippets, troubleshoot bugs, and celebrate first sales. The group is notoriously fast at answering “why won’t this build?” questions. 

Lifetime Updates

Web tech moves quickly; so does CodeFast. Buy once and you get every future lesson, updated boilerplate, and new case study at no extra cost — a nice lifetime perk if React 22 ships tomorrow.

FAQ

Who is CodeFast for?

Anyone who wants to validate and monetize an idea quickly. Total beginners are welcome, and experienced devs use it as a speed-run toward a polished MVP. 

What tech stack will I learn?

Frontend: Next.js, React, Tailwind. Backend: Next.js API routes, MongoDB, auth with Supabase or magic links, payments via Stripe or Lemon Squeezy, and email with Resend. 

Do I need prior coding experience?

No. The Fundamentals module covers HTML, CSS, JavaScript, basic databases, and how to prompt AI tools effectively before you dive into the deeper material. 

Is there really a money-back guarantee?

Yes. Request a refund within seven days and under 10 percent course completion and you’ll get 100 percent of your money back, no questions asked.

Do I need ShipFast to finish the course?

Not at all. CodeFast teaches you to build from scratch. ShipFast simply accelerates later projects with pre-built components and SaaS plumbing.

Bottom Line

If you’re tired of marathon tutorials that never get you over the “launch” line, CodeFast feels refreshingly pragmatic. A focus on AI, revenue-focused curriculum, and a buzzing community make it easy to recommend for founders who value speed over theory. Just be ready to build — this course moves fast, and that’s the point.
