Hi Product Hunt community!

I'm Allen, an indie developer and AI enthusiast. Thrilled to connect with you all and share my journey building GrsAI API , a platform powering 400,000+ daily API calls for text, image, and video generation. With experience in independent development, I m passionate about creating impactful AI tools and contributing to the product community. If you have tips on scaling indie projects or know of opportunities to collaborate, I d love to hear from you. Excited to engage and build something amazing together!

Hey ProductHunt! This is Jason from South Korea!

Me and my team are passionately building hiaryAI, an AI powered study note platform (more or less a blog with educational features)!

We have a kicked off a closed beta with around 30 users, and we are getting ready to open the doors to more testers soon!

I will be sharing more threads about who we are, what we are building, and why we are obsessed with this problem.

Hello, I'm Murad Hoque, a SaaS growth hacker and professional digital marketer with over 4+ years of experience. I m passionate about experimenting with new AI tools and features, and thrive on developing fresh strategies and plans across various industries and niches. I m excited for my journey here in PH, and I look forward to learning from industry experts along the way!
Cheers.

Hiya All, 

My name is Jerah  I'm super excited....and nervous...and optimistic...and ALL the things to join PH and get the ball rolling on launching.
I just wanted to introduce myself, get plugged in, contribute and get sage advice (and hoping to find some willing beta testers). I'm in the process of building an empathic AI Talk Therapy web app and its the first I've built (that actually sorta kinda works  ). I'm having a lot of fun in the process though and seem to be constantly blown away at how much AI can do and how fast it progresses on a near daily basis. It's still in Alpha/beta mode so if anyway is interested: www.talkai.im I'm open to any and all feedback, truly. 
If anyone has any suggested forums and/or other communities I could join to get plugged in, please send them over. I appreciate all of you in advance. 
Cheers!
Jerah

I'm spending $200/month on Claude Code. Normal, or am I nuts? How much are you really spending? What tool is worth every penny, and what's way overrated?

Poll: How much are you spending per month on vibe coding tools? Options: $0 $50, $51 $100, $101 $200, $201+

Recently I've worked with a group of non-corders trying to "vibe code" their apps with AI.
While knowing code is clearly not a must these days, it helps to get technical.
People who were familiar with basic software engineering concepts were 10x more likely to success and get better results.
So, with the hope of providing value to the non-coders people, I've created a quick roadmap for the basic terms and concepts you should be familiar with.

• Requirements: Building apps with AI is all about being able to clearly guide AI and express your app features and requirements.
  You need to be able to express those ideas and explain them as you d explain to a human developer. Think like a Technical Product Manager.

• Frontend: The face of your app.
  It's what your users see and interact with. It could be a website, a mobile app, or a desktop app. Most popular frontend libraries and frameworks are React, Next.js.

• UIs: They are the buttons, the forms, the modals, the tooltips, etc. In React, the UI is built with components. For design & styling, Tailwind CSS is the most popular library.
  For animations, Framer Motion is the most popular library.

• Packages & npm: Apps are not built from scratch.
  They are built on top of existing libraries and frameworks, like lego blocks.

  The most popular package manager is npm. For example, "react-hook-form" is a famous package that helps you build forms.

• Backend: The backend is the part of your app that runs on the server.

  It's where you store your data, your business logic.

  e.g: If you want to send an email, or process payments - this is where you'll do it.

  Vibe tip: Use minimal backends with serverless functions.

• Database: The database is where you store your data.

  It's where you store your users, your projects, your tasks, etc. Think of it as a big spreadsheet.

  I recommend using a database that is integrated with your frontend.

  For example: Fine, or Supabase.

• API: Real-life apps almost always need to integrate with other apps.

  For example: if you want to send email, or get weather data, or integrate with AI - it's all done through APIs.

• Hosting & Deployment: For your app to be accessible to the public, you need to host it.

  The code is usually hosted on GitHub, and deployed to platforms like Fine, Vercel, Netlify.

Finally, being comfortable with code is helpful - even if not a must.

AI often makes minor mistakes (like importing a wrong package), and if you re not afraid of reviewing code - you will get better results faster.

The Product Hunt forums have been up and running for about a month, so I think if we use this platform and this particular section daily, we could get a little used to it.

Here are some observations from me, but also your side:

Mine:

Today I want to share with you a recently developed tool -- CopyWeb UI.

As an offshore developer, it really saves me a lot of time and trouble. In order to catch up with the heat of the word, we must use the fastest speed to build a station, and the website contains header, hero, features, what is, how to, why, faq, footer content, make a station to say less than a week, With CopyWeb UI, you can quickly set up the front end in a day!
