What was the very first project you vibecoded with AI?
On Product Hunt, I can see many people launching their products using "vibe-coding tools" like @Lovable , @bolt.new , or@Replit
I reckon many people who created something with them are usually developers who didn't have enough time for building a side idea before, but with AI, they could make it happen.
I am not very technical (know some coding/programming basics), but without the help of a tutorial or ChatGPT, I would hardly build a whole project.
Question not only for developers (but also tech newbies):
What was THE FIRST THING YOU VIBECODED?
Feel free to share the link or the picture
What tool did you use?
What was the most difficult part?
Did you earn any money with that?
Here is mine:
– It was supposed to be a directory of Bluesky tools– The most difficult parts were to define something + It also rewrote good parts of the code, so it was kind of a mess for me.
– I haven't earned any money because I haven't published the project. (I abandoned it. :D)

My first vibe-coded project: OurMedBuddy 🚀
What I built: A medication coordination app that redistributes the mental load of healthcare between parents/caregivers. It generates smart calendar files that automatically invite everyone so no one person has to remember and share medication schedules.
Tool used: Replit Agent - chose it because I could iterate in real-time during my Product Hunt launch
The story: As a parent, I was tired of being the only one who remembered medication details after pediatrician visits while my wife carried all the mental load. I wanted to build something that would automatically share this invisible burden.
Most difficult part: Not the coding (Agent handled that brilliantly) - it was defining the actual problem. I spent more time thinking through the user experience and real family dynamics than writing code. Agent let me focus on solving the human problem rather than wrestling with technical implementation.
Results: Launched 3 days ago and hit 387 unique visitors in 48 hours. But the real validation? Parents are actually using it to coordinate care - the server logs show sustained engagement with people generating and sharing real medication schedules.
The vibe-coding advantage: During the live Product Hunt campaign, users requested features and I shipped them the same day. Email invitations, input validation, mobile UX improvements - all deployed within hours of feedback. That's impossible with traditional development cycles.
Money: Too early to monetize, but the user engagement suggests real product-market fit for solving this specific parenting pain point.

The best part about vibe coding isn't the speed - it's that it lets non-technical people focus on solving real problems instead of fighting with syntax.

@joao_pinho2 This is really a helpful use case – the healthcare industry. Do you have an ambition to reach out to caregivers, nursing homes or similar centres where this could be used?
👋 Hey @busmark_w_nika I am building PromptN the all-in-one Prompt command center built for non-technical professionals i.e: marketers, educators, small-business owners who want powerful AI outputs without wrestling with confusing model syntax. Built, Organize and share prompts in one place.
Most tools assume you already know how to write the perfect prompt or force you into rigid templates.
What makes PromptN different is how effortless it feels: you start with a simple sentence describing what you want, and it instantly creates polished, ready-to-run prompts tailored for your favorite AI tools. Over time, it learns your style and keeps everything organized in one place.
I am especially proud that you don’t need any prompt engineering background to get pro-level outputs. Just your idea.
Excited to hear your thoughts and constructive feedback to make PromptN a great tool! 🙌

https://www.producthunt.com/posts/promptn @reebaly Isn't it similar to https://promptdc.com/ by @p_visilias ?
@busmark_w_nika Yeah, it looks similar but it's very different than what https://promptdc.com/ is doing. It is only a chrome plugin at the moment and targeting devs and vibe coders.
PromptN's audience is fairly different and it has a totally different vision. It is not for tech savvy people. It is to help non-technical people get better prompts for all available AI Tools. It is not restricted to applications or websites, it can also help in creating a better prompt for mid-journey and RUNWAY.

Hey everyone. I built @DeskMinder² using Vibecoding. I’m a designer, not a developer. Over the past six months, I’ve created six projects this way - two of them have already been launched and are generating a solid income. What started as an experiment and a side project is quickly turning into something more and I can already see that in another six months, I’ll have a full-fledged product company with a dozen active projects.

@dmitriychuta I have seen you ranked in the first place – congratulations! :)
Did you have any massive marketing campaigns? :)
Regarding vibe-coding – how did you check the code? (e.g. whether there will be no bugs, etc.... do you know at least some basics in coding?) :)
Subscription Day
@busmark_w_nikaNah, I didn’t even look at the code did everything purely on vibes. The product has over 4,000 users and the number keeps growing every day. Marketing is minimal just Product Hunt, Reddit, posts on Threads and X. The product is growing organically on its own.

@dmitriychuta Probably found PMF! :D

Redbean
👋 Love this thread — and totally resonate with the idea of “vibe coding.” I’m not super technical either (I only know the basics), but thanks to @Redbean AI: Vibe coding a game in 2 mins , I was able to build my first playable game — no code, just pure vibes + creativity.
It was a little narrative game with pixel art, a branching storyline, and some quiz logic. I used Redbean’s AI Agent to guide the flow and design the mechanics.
The hardest part? Letting go of perfectionism and just making something. But once I started, it was honestly addictive.
Didn’t earn money (yet 😅), but it gave me the confidence to think like a maker for the first time.
Here’s a peek [
]Would love to see what others created too!
I vibecoded a browser video game, but quickly realized how far away from production it was. No saving data, no boards/progress to track, etc... It was basically just some dude that could run and jump around. I was intrigued though that it was possible. AI has come a long way since then, but I think many run into this issue. Where you realize how novel some builders can be and you'll really have to invest in learning how to develop further than the concept build.

@marcusfreeland Did you also vibecoded Desk Help?
@busmark_w_nika No, that would be nice but I don't think I would ever release a vibecoded project to the public because trying to optimize it or add features later would be insanely time-consuming (you don't really "know" the code it ouptut). DeskHelp is a combination of Javascript, HTML, Bubble, and AI. Its biggest technical advantage is the database structure. It's tuned for fast retrieval of large datasets... this is particularly handy for search filtering, customer interaction history, and AI features. I see that vibecoding can work okay for apps that serve the customer directly but if you are building a multiple-tenant app with user types/roles/privacy settings, it doesn't do well with structuring code or database setup.
I built Layover Planner to help travellers to transform their long waits at airports into valuable travel experiences, by sharing informative airport layover guides. For vibe-coding the frontend, I used Cursor which was great.
Honestly I started quite optimistic with the hope that it should be completed within a few hours to a couple of days at most, but eventually it took more like 2 weeks to get it to the state where I was happy with the designs.
Also setting up data pipelines and being the human-in-the-loop to verify the correctness of the information was definitely time-consuming. But it was absolutely fun to work on!

@hareeshbahuleyan Hareesh! :D Today, I travelled and was waiting at the airport. Pity I haven't seen this comment sooner :D
@busmark_w_nika Haha now you have it bookmarked for your next flight ;)

@hareeshbahuleyan Sure thing! :)
AdBlur - Hide Ads, Focus on Browsing
I vibecoded these website for two of my clients in under 10 hours:
https://omnibuz.com/
https://paydeck.in/
Now Both of them are afraid that their internal product pages have gone old-fashioned.
Everyone wants their product to look next-gen.
Right now I'm designing this document processing tool for one of our friend. We're using Claude sonnet 4 for designing complex in-app screens.

@mosymimi Have you had any previous experience with coding, or was it your newbie experience?
AdBlur - Hide Ads, Focus on Browsing
@busmark_w_nika 12+ years in software industry. Continuous note taking, documentation and logging is my best friend. My old school practices will get me through this AI whirlwind.
minimalist phone: creating folders
@mosymimi Aaa okay, that's why you were done with the product so fast! :D :) I am a newbie, so my outputs take a long time.
Haha, great question. For me, it started with a problem I noticed in my hometown - Bangalore, India.
After moving overseas to NYC, I realized something interesting: Bangalore has tons of builders, architects, and affordable labor to construct homes, but most people had no idea where to start or how to find the right people. There was no clear direction or centralized system to guide them.
That insight led me to build Realyst - a tool I vibe-coded mostly on Replit. The core idea was an AI-powered system that matched users with the right vendors based on their specific needs, pulling from a curated database with vendor ratings.
For example, if someone searched "looking to build a house in Benson Town" (a neighborhood in Bangalore), the app would surface the best nearby vendors, show a clear flow, and provide a step-by-step roadmap for which services to opt for - all within a beautiful UI.
It was a fun experiment, and one that taught me a lot.

@chaosandcoffee Cool product for locals. This could work on the international level too. How do you market it to the target audience? Any special practices?
Hey everyone! Am I late to the party?
I just built a self-destructing encrypted message platform, coming from a real need that I had at work. I was struggling with sharing sensitive info like passwords, API keys, or confidential documents through insecure channels.
The project is called crypted.pro and I made it to fulfill this need and I want to share it with you, maybe you need a tool like this in your life. :)
I used @Lovable and @Claude by Anthropic , but also my security knowledge.
This is still early stage and I'm actively developing it.
Thanks everyone for reading this and hope you have a great day!

@alin_olteanu You are just in time! :D I upvoted for your idea :)
