How I Built 9 Apps with Vibe Coding
A look at my approach to building and shipping apps fast using AI-assisted development and engineering intuition.
I shipped 9 apps in the past few months. They’re all live, people use them. This is how I did it.
What is Vibe Coding?
Vibe coding is what I’ve been calling my approach: use AI tools (Claude, Cursor, Copilot) for the mechanical parts, bring your own judgment for architecture and product decisions, and ship v1 before you’ve thought of every edge case.
The Apps
Here’s what I’ve shipped:
- BuildFR (buildfr.com) — A builder-focused productivity platform
- DirectWhats (directwhats.app) — WhatsApp messaging without saving contacts
- Clock (clock.nimit.dev) — A minimal, beautiful clock
- Shoestring (shoestring.nimit.dev) — Simple budget tracking
- YT Search (yt-search.nimit.dev) — A cleaner YouTube search
- GeoGenius (geogenius.nimit.dev) — Geography quiz game
- Google Watchlist (google-watchlist.nimit.dev) — Search watchlist manager
- Roastmaster (roastmaster.nimit.dev) — AI-powered roasting
- WAGMI (wagmi.nimit.dev) — Crypto community vibes
What actually matters
The AI matters less than the person using it. I can tell when generated code looks right but does the wrong thing, because I’ve been writing code long enough to have opinions about it. If you don’t already know how to build software, AI tools will make you faster at building the wrong thing.
What’s Next
I’ll keep building. I have a list.
