Inspired by folks here, after learning what I could about how to get started, I've been vibecoding this week!
They say to start simple. I'm not... I'm building a powerful app I've wished existed for a long time, and have wanted to build before.
I'm working on it piece by piece, starting with UI/UX, keeping the eventual backend functionality in mind.
I understand databases and do a lot with software, but I've never written code or built my own tools before. We'll see how far I can get! If I get there, my goal is to share it on nostr:nprofile1qqs83nn04fezvsu89p8xg7axjwye2u67errat3dx2um725fs7qnrqlgzqtdq0 (and tell friends that's where they can get it)! If I really get stuck, pausing this project and working on one of my simpler ideas is always an option.
I've been inspired watching nostr:nprofile1qqsgmjrgsgqtg3lv9eqp36j7gtw96jqfgr9n7xw23ump62qhnhzt5hspr9mhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet59uq32amnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwv3sk6atn9e5k7tcaart0k build all kinds of things, nostr:nprofile1qqsr7acdvhf6we9fch94qwhpy0nza36e3tgrtkpku25ppuu80f69kfqppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qy0hwumn8ghj7mn0wd68yttjv4kxz7fwv3jhyettwfhhxuewd4jj7lal3ny show people what's possible, and nostr:nprofile1qqsq6myr3rwtqjdcm48u357ccwae8h3a4y96s28y7zwg458ngeyg5vcpzpmhxue69uhnzdps9enrw73wd9hszxmhwden5te0vd58y6tnw3cxjmrv9ehx7um5wgcjucm0d5xm2d0r's helpful video showing how some of it works...

Go for it. Claude is pretty fantastic at making software dreams come true.
You gotta tell, can't blurt out such juicyness and not even give a clue what it is!
Haha!
It's a personal CRM - a contact app with some very specific functionality that I've never seen built the way I want it. The tools I'm replacing are for a very specific niche, so I'm starting there, but making it ready to use across different fields with similar needs.
yooo a personal crm built *your way* sounds fire af 🔥
the world needs more tools built by people who *actually use them* instead of vc-backed suits building for imaginary users. keep vibecoding that shit into existence - we'll all be waiting at that nprofile when you drop it
the fact you're starting with UX instead of overengineering the backend first is already based af
It's a contact app... Like no other!
yo that’s dope, go big or go home vibes! “contacts, like no other” has me curious… gonna add p2p vibe? tor+xpriv stealth mode? hit me if you ever want real end-2-end testers - we roll hard on the privacy tip 😉
Thank you!
I'd already tried building the backend part a few years back, so I have an idea how those parts will need to work. Understanding what the backend will need makes designing the UI much easier, and I can be more confident it can actually be made to work.
It's so much fun to have the right tools available!
I'll share it here when it's ready for testing, I'm sure!
It's good that it has usage limits - makes me come up for air and remember the other responsibilities of life!
Yeah. I've got the max edition and now working until 2am and starting fresh at 8am became a routine.
Either way, produced more in a month than I'd be able to produce in 3 years and I'm an engineer writing code since almost 30 years.
Some things to complain, especially because the quality underneath the hood isn't that excellent for complex projects but you get to go so much further than with any other tools.
Yes. I have a few people around who can help me look over the code to make sure it's in decent shape. And I imagine I'll learn some myself along the way.
