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)

Love this thread — mine's a pretty different starting point than most answers here probably.
– It was an early version of Assetli — back then just a basic net worth tracker, way before the AI/MCP integration or half the current features.
– Used Claude (via Claude Code) — never really touched Lovable/Bolt/Replit, went straight into an actual codebase from day one.
– Hardest part honestly wasn't the code — it was that I came from CNC machining, so I had zero background in software architecture, deployment, databases, any of it. Vibe coding got me working code fast, but understanding why it worked, what to do when something broke that Claude couldn't just fix by iterating, that took way longer than the actual building.
– Yes — it eventually became what I'm launching on PH this week, so full circle. Wouldn't call it "money from that first version" though, that one barely resembled what exists now.
Curious how many other people here started completely outside software like I did vs. devs who just found a faster way to ship side projects.
