Delightful design, but from the verbiage on your landing page I wouldn't have guessed you were targeting founders, that sort of thin detail is usually reserved for disconnected decision makers.

auch. but you nailed it right

> Each of these could cost you $20-50/month in SaaS subscriptions. Sounds to me that's a bargain, for half an hour in wages I get a battle tested solution built by real humans with real human feedback in the real world, instead of some unmaintainable oneshot AI approximation with zero support. I would easily waste more than that trying to wrestle some prompt into doing what I need, and even when it finally does it's…

A spreadsheet is a programming language and I will die on this hill.

That's the point, spreadsheets get users to solve issues algorithmically without forcing them to learn programming, but allowing them to understand and control the solution.

Full stack vibe tools solve some 1st order approximation of the problem, but then leave the user clueless to how adapt and evolve the solution without learning programing - and in fact are harder to maintain and debug even for those who do know programming. Re-applying the same tool is widely understood as a guaranteed disaster in the long run, current vibe tools can't really maintain their own creations.

Excel is OG of vibe coding

This space is SERIOUSLY saturated. We tried our hardest to break into the vibe coding space with Hypership, but we counted about 40 different vibe coding tools with that number growing weekly. Yours will make it 41. Good luck. Seriously. It's a war zone out there.

it feels like it is war zone in every single software product niche now (games, iOS App Store, personal apps, social networks, AI tools)

Getting errors in console, won't start.

hook.js:608 Failed to parse JSON from match: SyntaxError: Expected ',' or ']' after array element in JSON at position 207 (line 3 column 194) at JSON.parse () at build-studio-C28lcD4m.js:67:471

Stuck at "Starting project..."

Also, seems like 15-20 people to build this, after just a couple of months. Something is off with the numbers. Also, vibe coding platforms are becoming commodity with other platforms lightyears ahead, approaching zero margins.

Definitely wish you luck, but something feels off with the numbers, timeline, product and the market you chose :)

Nice idea! As a UX designer with some dev chops, I’ve been getting a lot of value from the whole vibe coding thing lately. I can get from idea to solid working product super quickly. I’ve noticed 2 parts where I get slowed down and I’m sure there’s a market for a product or two, which would fit your idea (I think): - setting up all the tracking/monitoring/netlify config. So like GA, Search Console, AdWords, netlify h…

What platforms have you been using for this? Did you face any challenges in getting the backend setup?

Some first impressions: - I think you should drop the confusing black loading screen. It is (or should be) a static page, so just display it. - Under "The Simple Path to Power" the first and third videos don't display for me, and I just get a grey box (I assume there's supposed to be a video there). Chrome on Windows. - I can't make any sense of the paragraph starting "Software shouldn’t wait for clicks". None of the…

Some good feedback here.

The landing page is confusing and trying to use some clever tricks to impress, like those draggable boxes, which stopped me from easily scrolling (viewing on an iPad) and the wall of text that is fading in.

All this degrades usability.

Keep it simple.

> We are a 15-20 person startup, wow, that's a lot of people for such a product. what are you all doing there? seems seriously over-hired.

Fair question, I understand that 15-20 person sounds like a lot for a startup. However our product is not just a UI tool wrapped with Claude code, the reality is that making AI generate actually working full-stack apps with MCP/API integration in one shot required way more infrastructure than people thought.

If you test out lovable, you will notice that they require more than one round of conversations to build full-stack apps like asking you to config supabase manually. And it 's very hard to connect with existing systems either through MCP or customize API. If you can take a look at the use case video link I put in post, you will get a better understanding of what I mean by the capability differentiation.

Thanks for your advices! We are using amplitude for the user tracking/monitoring config. And yes we should add the guide through feature for newly registered users to onboard the product.
