🎯 Mission

Use vibecoding tools to build working solutions that solve real friction in people's livesβ€”whether at work, at home, or in their communities. Ship something that matters.

"The best products come from personal frustration. Slack started because a game studio was frustrated with email. Dropbox started because someone kept forgetting their USB drive."

πŸ’ͺ Pro Tips for Success

  • 1.Solve YOUR problem. The best hacks come from personal frustration.
  • 2.Start with UX Pilot. Even Younglings benefit from designing first.
  • 3.Be specific in prompts. "Build a dashboard" β†’ "Build a dashboard with a sidebar, 3 metric cards, and a line chart"
  • 4.Don't over-engineer. Pick the simplest path that solves the problem.
  • 5.Ship ugly first. A working prototype beats a beautiful mockup.
  • 6.Record a backup video. Live demos fail. Murphy's Law is undefeated.
  • 7.Tell a story. "I built this because..." beats "This app does..."
