Disingenious title, as the phone at 25$ is subsidized. Sure, you can properly buy a phone for not much more, but so can you a Raspberry Pi.
Also, the llm that did the vibe coding did not run on the phone.

#12Does the cloudflare tunnel mean cloudflare is acting as a cdn and I’m actually getting the site served from them instead of the phone actually handling the request?
Cloudflare is not acting as a CDN and every request is actually hitting the phone. Check out the CF-Cache-Status: dynamic header

#13I just restyled a full saas app thats doing 50k in arr per month, bootstrapped. I already shipped it to production. A major UX/element/component overhaul. It looks 10x more professional. I did it this afternoon, sitting on my couch. I took a raw css/html assets from a very professional saas app, and gave it to claude code. I wrote no code, and did not even review the code.

That's awesome! Totally agree.

What do you mean by "I took a raw css/html assets from a very professional saas app"?

Of course not, just the client. But it did make real tool calls on the client device and write + modify existing config, troubleshoot and get it running, which is still pretty damn cool in my eyes

Thanks for the reply, it’s surprisingly fast then!

#17More like "Setting a static website on a budget Android phone". Unsure where the vibe coding is relevant, and Walmart Phone is basically a placeholder.

I’ll fill in the part between OPs story and “then they all clapped” that he left out.
He’s likely talking about “Save As”ing or scraping the DOM for rendered HTML/CSS and feeding that to an LLM to convert to actual in app wired up components.

> This field is truly on its way to full automation.
What do you even mean by that? Full automation of irrelevant, simple as hell, saas apps? Maybe yes. Everything else that actually needs some thought? Nah, not happening anytime soon - given that no genius with a brand new architecture comes around tomorrow. LLMs just ain't getting any better really. It's just micro steps by now
