Turn Ideas into Profitable Apps

Published 24 days ago • 1 min read

Vibe Coding is blowing up.​
So I jumped in—took a few cool ideas I’ve seen floating around and built some useful tools. Honestly, getting something working is easy. The tricky part? Making sure it’s actually usable.

But here’s the wild part: People are flipping these simple apps to clients and founders for anywhere between $3K and $50K.

Here’s what I built (and yep, you can build your first one for free):
