Are you someone who's built > 10 apps using Lovable, Replit, Mocha, or another vibe coding tool? If so I'm very interested in what is your answer to these 2 questions:
Assume you're the "benevolent dictator" of one of these apps for the day, and can choose to add one thing, and remove one thing:
What's your most desired feature? Thing holding you back the most?
What really annoys you and would you change or remove?
I started with Windsurf IDE and swapped to Cursor IDE. I returned to the Windsurf IDE and used some of the default MCPs. I am on the free tier using SWE-1 (lite) and started a brand new project. But somehow, it doesn't matter what I do, it always says "running" or "it's taking longer than expected", but nothing happens at all. I just wanted to get a feel if it's worth it to come back. I didn't want to insert coins yet, I'm not clear if it would be. So I made a PRD, SRD and was trying to use sequential thinking. So, any ideas what it is, or is it normal that the free tier doesn't do anything?
Hey everyone, been a Product Hunt visitor for years but never signed up, so I thought I'd start by sharing some recent learnings that hopefully other builders will find useful.
For context, we're building FanBase Copilot, an AI assistant for content creators that learns their voice and context over time. The memory layer is critical. It's what makes the AI actually useful after the first conversation.
This was a deliberate experiment inspired by my CTO. I wanted to test a simple question: Can a Product Manager ship a real website end-to-end today without handoffs?
Few months ago (like everyone else) I also got overwhelmed with all this vibe-coding happening around me, being a developer myself I got a little FOMO too I have personally built a bunch of tools using "pure" vibe-coding.
It took me a while to understand that one of the biggest challenges of vibe-coding is the back & forth with AI - which can save or burn a huge amount of your time. I got stuck with fixing and recreating code bugs and fighting with the leaks that AI generated for me.
My first product - which was a simple resume parser and enhancer took around 3 months to build for the same reason. It failed badly - because I sucked at marketing.
With the second product that I launched which was a no-code portfolio website builder (Fllaunt AI) took around 2 full weekends only!
