I build my first full social app with vibecoding.

by

I'm a UX designer by trade, and as a designer I always had some fun ideas to build but never the tools to do so other then some concept design. But recently I had this Idea again from a while back and just build it.

It ook me over 2 months and had to learn a lot of code and documentation myself to tell the damn AI's what to do.

It's a weird feeling of feeling powerful and helpless at the same time haha.

But I'm happy with the current result. Hopefully user would like it to.

Why have you decided for social media app?

Evert M
@busmark_w_nika Wanted to solve a problem, and also have some fun building it. It being social is part of the experience. :) Got some more about the story here: https://evertmartin.medium.com/n...

@evertmar Thank you for sharing. Personally, I think there is a very strong competition with those giants, but I hope you will make it. :) It sounds good like a family or relatives social media app. It is a fact that the original social media idea disappeared, and it is mostly about "perfect life" and ads.

I’m really glad I came across this! I’m exploring a product idea too and thinking of vibe coding it down the line. Moments looks great. Major props on the UI and UX (I’m actually using it as I write this). Creating a board and adding elements feels super intuitive. It reminded me of using notes on iOS/Android, which made it easy to get started. I was genuinely surprised by how user-friendly it is honestly, it’s smoother than some fully coded apps I’ve tried. Huge congrats on what you’ve built, and I really hope it takes off. One small suggestion: it would be great to have the option to lock/unlock items on the board, similar to how it works in Figma. That would make editing and adding elements even more seamless.

@emmerita_ambata thank you so much for your kind words and feedback! Locking an element is a great idea thank you! The next updates I'll try to get the experience of adding and editing elements a lot smoother. I'm not really trying to compete with the big boys but rather offer a smaller fun experience to have with friends ;)

@evertmar awesome! In that case, you’re on the right track 🙌🏽

I just launched my first full social app using Vibe coding! The platform made it easy to bring my ideas to life without the steep learning curve. From concept to deployment, Vibe coding was a game-changer for building the app. Super excited to see where this app goes.

Nice looking product! If it works well, I'd love to try it on web/android!

Also, my first rule of vibe coding: never let hackers know your product is vibe-coded :D

@aeromaniax Thank you! Yeah Android would be a huge task since everything is done is swift. :/

And I made sure to spend the majority of time researching security systems and ways before I published my app.

as I'm fully aware vibecoding exposes api's and user data a lot. Talked to a few experts both on firebase and swift coding to get this right. However, if my app gets bigger and gathers interest from users, the goal would be getting funding and basically hire professionals to check and re-write most of the app.

Vibecoding is amazing for MVP's, but you'll always need professionals to scale.

I'm truly gasping at the amount of support I gotten here! Thank you so much. I opened up a discord for the people who want to keep informed and provide feedback for my app so I can make it better! https://discord.gg/7GQZmmaG

Launching soon!

What platform did you use to build this?

Evert M
@kay_arkain used Alex AI for this as it integrates with xcode. This also means it's build for iOS. ;)
