I make my own software, so no team to look over the code or be bothered by it. I don't even know how "vibe-coding" works in a team environment, because for me now it feels like it's "ideas to app" directly, so dumping by brain/ideas directly into a functional product.
I think this one is really cool[0], will be a free piano learning app. I do have other projects, but they are all at around 80% too, because some systems are shared amongst the projects and have to be finalized too (i.e. now I'm implementing my own transactional/marketing email service on top of Amazon SES, I need it before releasing ultimidi so people can register and receive email confirmations).
That is a cool app. But if you’d said you’d made it by hand in a few months I would have believed you.
If I had a working software factory like you describe, I’d expect you to have hundreds of apps of that level of complexity in a year.

But you don’t have any users much less paying users, so you have no idea if this system works when you do.
Thanks!

I am working at around 7-8 projects at the same time. The limit becomes me having to remember what I was doing for each one. AI can implement things nicely, but it really sucks at deciding which features and having its own ideas about novel game mechanics or UI/UX patterns.
I don't consider it a "software factory", just a more robust way to implement features, and it's still a WIP. One system I implemented locally is called "TaskHub", which receives some implementation or testing details from a SoTA mosel like Astra and implements it locally using Qwen 3.8 27b running on a RTX 3090.
I delegate things like app testing, navigating the app and taking screenshots, analyzing screenshots, etc.
And yes, this specific app doesn't have any users yet, I will launch it next week after I finalize the user authentication, payment flows and mobile apps. I will release it mostly as is, see user response, and then change it accordingly.

If you have a system that does “ideas to app directly”, that certainly sounds like what people are talking about when they say software factory. In fact my very large company would probably pay you millions if you could come in and make this work for our applications.
