Real Projects Built with Vibe Coding

SaaS Dashboard

2 days

Complete customer dashboard with auth, billing integration, and analytics. Used Cursor for 80% of the code.

CursorNext.jsSupabase
User authenticationStripe integrationReal-time updatesAdmin panel
Worked well, but needed manual RLS configuration on Supabase tables that AI missed.

AI Wrapper Product

1 weekend

Productized Claude API for a specific use case. Full landing page, auth, and usage tracking.

Initial version exposed API keys in frontend. Required security review before launch.

Internal Tool Suite

1 week

Collection of internal tools for a startup: employee directory, PTO tracker, expense reports.

CopilotReactExpress

AI-generated auth was mostly client-side. Needed significant backend hardening.

E-commerce Storefront

5 days

Custom storefront integrated with Shopify backend. Headless commerce with custom design.

CursorNext.jsShopify API

Checkout security was solid due to Shopify handling payments. Custom discount code logic had bypass issues.

Community Platform

2 weeks

Mobile-first community app with posts, comments, and real-time chat.

Multiple IDOR vulnerabilities in messaging. Users could read others' private messages initially.

What Should You Build?

MVP/PrototypesExcellent

Vibe coding shines for rapid prototyping and MVPs where speed matters most

Fine for demos, but scan before accepting real user data

Internal ToolsGood

Great for internal dashboards and tools where you control the user base

Still need auth hardening—internal users can be curious

Consumer ProductsModerate

Can accelerate development but requires careful security review

Must scan thoroughly—you're responsible for user data

Financial/HealthcareRisky

Speed benefits don't outweigh compliance and security requirements

Requires extensive manual review and compliance audits

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I build with vibe coding?

Almost anything a traditional developer could build: SaaS apps, e-commerce sites, mobile apps, internal tools, APIs, browser extensions, and more. The AI handles syntax and patterns while you provide direction and architecture decisions.

How long does it take to build an app with vibe coding?

Simple MVPs can be built in hours to days. More complex applications take 1-2 weeks for a functional version. The speed gain comes from AI handling boilerplate, but you still need time for design decisions, testing, and security hardening.

Are vibe-coded apps production ready?

Not automatically. The AI generates functional code quickly, but it often has security issues, performance problems, and edge case bugs. Before going to production, you need security scanning, load testing, and careful review of authentication and authorization flows.

What's the best tech stack for vibe coding?

Next.js + Supabase is currently most popular because AI has lots of training data for both. The key is choosing technologies with good documentation that the AI has been trained on. Newer or niche technologies may produce lower quality code.
