[CONVEX M(events:insertEvents_ion)] [Request ID: bbc76cc0a8e100df] Server Error Called by client

is any of the nodes in your editor marked as "incomplete"? there is probably a wrong call to the backend from your generated frontend. you can either ask the chat, or can help you debug in our discord https://discord.com/invite/Ctm2A2uEaq

I want to like this and dig into it as someone who has recently used Lovable and Base44 (and been using Bubble for a while), but the YouTube ‘demo’ video is really weak.

The pace is too fast and you spend barely any time showing off your visual workflow feature, which according to your description is your differentiator.

I would strongly recommend using some of your YC money to have a professional recreate that demo and show off what makes you unique. Even if it goes longer than two minutes - if I’m interested I’ll keep watching.

I’ll still try it out because I’m a sucker for trying out new vibecoding tools, but you’re not doing yourself any favors with that video…

Are you happy with either product? I tried them earlier in the year, and it was also really slow to make changes. I felt like they got stuck after a bit, too.

It's a neat concept, but I feel like they're expensive templates. I'd honestly prefer a template gallery with a smooth and fast editing UI.

Congrats! Doesn't replit have an integrated database as well? Lovable has supabase, and I'm pretty sure Base44 as well, plus other agent integrations.

Thanks! Yes, Replit has KV store and managed Postgres, Lovable uses Supabase (requires manual setup). Base44 doesn't have a manual setup but has a black box backend. In VibeFlow: - no manual setup required - low code backend editor n8n style - no black box anymore - everything you do in the backend is code that you own

It's not just about databases, think about all the users currently using n8n with Lovable separately, without even owning the full stack

Thanks a lot for the feedback. The video was meant as a very spontaneous ‘as it is’ showcase, but we’ll definitely make new demos that go deeper into the editor!

Don't get me wrong, I wish your start-up all the best, but this particular application seems so stereotypical by current standards. It's at least four buzzwords combined into one "idea". As someone who has never tried to apply, I wonder how difficult it was to get through Y Combinator's selection process.
