Vibecode

Doesn’t work, behind a paywall

I really wanted to like this app but I had to spend $19.99 to even try it out. I created a very simple app to help moms declutter with checklists. It couldn’t even handle that. The apo had no functionality at all. I feel like I wasted my money big time. I canceled my subscription immediately. Hopefully it gets better. They should have tested more before releasing this app.

I think because it has a more narrow focus than some of the web app tools it doesn’t get confused nearly as much the more complicated an app gets. After getting far but hitting roadblocks with Lovable, Replit, Bolt, and Cursor I’ve been able to build a really big app with tons of interdependent features. Sure, there’s been a lot of refining and debugging, but at this point vibecode has written every line of code for the app and it’s all come together in like 5 weeks. I will have to move to Cursor to finish up some database backend work, containerization, and some in-app agent stuff, but it’s finished about 90% of the work on the app from beginning to end. And that was almost all while it was in beta. Where the app is now is just the beginning and the founders are working tirelessly to quickly add improvements and new features.

buggy but its better than the alternatives like rork and a0 that i have tried

Seems like a scam, even the name itself…get nothing without paying, are you guys trying to scam ppl for their $ or their ideas?

The app doesn’t do anything other than ask for money

It does seem to be an industry standard to allow for free product testing or a trial period for evaluation, rather than having a premium subscription required for even the first iteration. Predicated upon the fact that I have no evidence that the app is effective, I have no reason to pay for this service. Especially when cursor, GPT, Gemini and Lovable all have free coding/development models. It has potential sure, but needs to be restructured to scale.

I’ve been dreaming of an app like this forever and I’m so glad someone built it. The voice feature just works and I was able to create the habit app that I’ve always wanted. Can’t wait to see what’s coming next

There’s no transparency that you can’t do anything without buying a monthly subscription. Is the app any good? No clue, you can’t even do the suggested promps to try it out without it costing money.

Awesome app
