Celebrating 2 months EXACTLY since first vibecoding.
Now my app is live in the Google play store! 🍾
I've documented a few videos like this along the way. Raw, real no BS experience of building apps in 2026.

Any other builders hard at work on a Saturday night instead of having a life? 😅

Don't believe the hype! Anyone who says you can use AI to build an app and launch on an app store within hours or 1 day is full of sh!t.
Here's my honest experience #vibecoding and launching my first app with @Lovable. @LocalEye_app about to drop 🤞 #startup #entrepreneur

What no one talks about - what happens after you vibe code an app?

A couple of months ago I started #vibecoding with no idea where it would lead. But I recorded the moment, and now with my first app about to launch, it's cool to look back at the moment it all began.

✅ DUNS number, check
❌ Part of my app went missing after my latest prompt 🤷♂️
Anyone else experience unexpected changes during #vibecoding?

The exact moment LocalEye went from an idea to a prototype. Before this I'd never heard of #Figma, I'd never vibe coded, and I don't have a computer engineering background.
Recorded on 17th March 2026. #vibecoding

Some behind the scenes into how LocalEye got started with #founder @edditive. @Lovable and @figma were the key building tools, with @GeminiApp
Coaching each step of the way.
