STI vibe-coded my first app with no coding background and it was honestly sososo much fun 🥹
My AI tool stack:
1) Claude - product thinking + logic. I used it like a CTO to scope the product, map user flows, and generate prompts for building the app
2) Lovable - turned the prototype into a real React app and deployed it
3) Supabase - backend infrastructure. Database, authentication, and user data
Main takeaways:
- UI/branding was the biggest bottleneck. I didn’t pre-design wireframes, so I kept iterating visually through prompts. Reference images are extremely important to guide AI
- I stayed too long in the prototype stage. I kept trying to make everything pixel perfect in Claude when I could’ve moved to Lovable much sooner. I was stressing over details that didn’t really matter
- Backend concepts were the hardest part. Tables, SQL, and auth flows were confusing for me (as someone non technical) to understand with no underlying context. Definitely motivated me to brush up on some basic coding fundamentals
Overall, it’s never been easier to execute ur ideas. The real differentiator is no longer technical ability - it’s product sense, taste, branding, and how something feeeels to use (in other words, the “fluffy” inexplicable stuff)
