What was the very first project you vibecoded with AI?
On Product Hunt, I can see many people launching their products using "vibe-coding tools" like @Lovable , @bolt.new , or@Replit
I reckon many people who created something with them are usually developers who didn't have enough time for building a side idea before, but with AI, they could make it happen.
I am not very technical (know some coding/programming basics), but without the help of a tutorial or ChatGPT, I would hardly build a whole project.
Question not only for developers (but also tech newbies):
What was THE FIRST THING YOU VIBECODED?
Feel free to share the link or the picture
What tool did you use?
What was the most difficult part?
Did you earn any money with that?
Here is mine:
– It was supposed to be a directory of Bluesky tools– The most difficult parts were to define something + It also rewrote good parts of the code, so it was kind of a mess for me.
– I haven't earned any money because I haven't published the project. (I abandoned it. :D)

My first vibe-coded project was ResumeForge — an AI resume tailor that generates tailored bullet points + cover letter from any job description in 30 seconds.
🛠️ Tools used: Cursor AI + Claude (Anthropic API) + Next.js + Supabase + Vercel
😅 Most difficult part: I'm a recent grad from Uzbekistan with basically $0 budget. Setting up payments that work internationally was the hardest part (Stripe doesn't support Uzbekistan, had to use Lemon Squeezy).
💰 Money earned: Just launched TODAY so $0 so far — but the Product Hunt page is live if anyone wants to check it out!
Built the whole thing in 7 days. If a student from Uzbekistan with no budget can do it, honestly anyone can 🇺🇿
Happy to help anyone who wants to build their first thing!
I build a chrome extension in VS code. This was me
Hi. You are very active here. Vibecoding is nice, but it has its drawbacks, as to be expected. I
MIGRATED A WORDPRESS blog to a proprietary platform. The challenge was to insure all was migrated correctly and that the SEO links built in years weren't lost. Then I vibecoded a nice landing page for an existing app...
Mine was actually Token Harbor 😄
I'm not a full-time developer either. My background is more in technical support and solutions consulting, so never imaged that I could code a product .
I used a mix of Claude and Codex to help turn the idea into a working product.
The hardest part was shaping a demo-like thing to a real product that can be used by thousands of people .
We're currently soft-launching Token Harbor and collecting feedback from early users.
If you're working with AI APIs, we'd love to hear what challenges you're facing.
As a fellow vibe-coding newbie, I feel your pain so much! 😭 That 'one step forward, two steps back' rewrites loop is a real core memory.
I haven't officially launched anything on Product Hunt yet, but my first vibe-coded project was essentially a 'Masterpiece of Spaghetti Code' that only worked on my local machine. Cheers to the beautiful messes we make before the actual launch! 🥂
Naxely — a report generator that turns CSV files and Google Sheets into branded PDF reports with AI insights. built it because I kept spending hours formatting client data as a freelancer when the analysis was already done. launching on PH July 1.
It's a chrome extension

I rebuild my intro page! And after started play with apps for macos
I just launched my first one today
Cogni is a Chrome extension for people who've noticed their own ideas being plagued by generic AI outputs.
I saw it in my own chat logs. One evening I read back through my recent ChatGPT prompts and realised how many started with "give me ideas for" or "write me a" on things I hadn't tried to do myself first. I'd skipped straight to twenty AI options without ever generating one of my own to measure them against. I wasn't choosing. I was just picking from a menu it wrote.
So Cogni puts that part back. It watches your ChatGPT or Claude prompts and, on the ones where you're handing over the creative or strategic work, asks for your inputs, including one or two of your own ideas before the AI answers. The whole thing is grounded in a stack of research, over ten papers now, including scientists at Harvard, MIT, UPenn and Microsoft, on how unstructured AI use erodes independent thought. Everything happens in your browser. Your prompts are never sent anywhere or saved.
