Beyond Mockups: Vibe coding of full-stack Proof of Concept apps - looking for feedback!
Hey fellow Vibe Coders!
One of the joys of vibe coding is seeing an idea take shape rapidly. But how often does that "shape" end up being a frontend-only prototype, and the dream of a fully functional app with your preferred tech stack (say, Next.js + PostgreSQL, or React + FastAPI) feels like a whole separate, slower project?
At Proofs, we're exploring how AI agents can bridge this gap, generating not just UIs but the entire underlying application structure, including backend logic and database setup, using popular open-source stacks.
We're seeking your honest feedback:
When you're vibe coding, how important is it for the initial build to be on a specific "production-ready" stack versus just getting a working concept out ASAP (even if it's less "clean" initially)?
If AI could help you instantly generate a v1 of your app on, say, React with a Python backend and a Postgres, what's the first "vibe" you'd want to turn into a full application this way?
What are your biggest frustrations when AI code-gen tools don't quite get your chosen tech stack or architecture right? What would make you trust AI more for the foundational parts of your vibe projects?
Really keen to learn from your experiences as we refine how AI can truly accelerate bringing complete ideas to life.
(P.S. Full transparency – Proofs is our new platform, and it just went live on Product Hunt today. Your insights here would be amazing for our roadmap as we think about features specifically for the vibe coding community!)

Congratulations on the launch!
If its a full enterprise app, we do think about production ready structure. If there was an ai to abstract the scaffolding of various stack, that would be cool
scaffold a frontend and backend with complete login system
Biggest frustration is the bias for jumping into coding. Sometime this helps. But found a workaround by starting off with a chat, like what do you think? give me a plan before coding etc
