After vibe coding a few micro-apps, I completely stopped trying to build broad horizontal platforms
by•
When I first started vibe coding, my instinct was to build broad all-in-one workspaces, but the AI agents kept drowning in context bloat and users got tired of prompt engineering their way through a generic interface. Once I pivoted to building hyper-specific micro-tools, such as single-purpose AI code helpers, dedicated document-parsing file tools, and simple automation utilities, the entire build process changed. The spec files stayed clean, Claude and Cursor stopped hallucinating, and the final products solved an exact problem right out of the box. Has anyone else shifted their vibe coding strategy away from big multi-feature apps toward single-workflow micro-tools?
