> I’m still skeptical of vibecoding in general. As I mentioned above, I would not trust my vibecoding enough to make these into products.
That’s the whole point - there’s no need for it to be a product when you can do it yourself, and it’s the death knell of products like this.
Also you dont need the architecture to scale to millions of users. So it can be a bit more rough and OK to be inefficient.
And you don't need to build in user management, Stripe integration for payments, build a landing page, advertise it or anything.
You can just use it and be content.
>user management, Stripe integration for payments
FWIW, `better-auth` solves that and LLMs know how to integrate it.
"Death knell" is, I think, putting too fine a point on it.
At the same time, Apple better wake up as the quality of the App Store (such as it is) is about to get much, much worse as a flood of vibe-coded apps make it onto the store. These will likely crap out in spectacular ways and, as I say, bring user's experience with the App Store in general way down.
It's like when Amazon intermingled drop-ship sellers on their platform.
(Oh well, not my problem.)
