I decided to try something new — build a small app from scratch using a vibe-code tool.
Honestly, I had no idea what I was doing at first. It was confusing, exciting, and kinda scary to hit “run.”
And of course, I broke something in the end 😅 classic.
But that’s fine.
You don’t learn by doing everything right — you learn by doing at all.
This is my first attempt, and it’s far from perfect.
But I’m sharing it anyway, because progress doesn’t look polished.
It looks like trying, failing a bit, and still showing up 🩷
@Olena Panasiuk I loved the overall theme of this project. The options were straight and no extra detailing. Quick results. 👍 🔥
@Afia Codes Ahh thanks! That was exactly the idea - quick and no overthinking ✨
@Olena Panasiuk so cool!
@Shayna Kliger thank you 🩷🩷
@Olena Panasiuk so nice!!!!
@Alesia Boiko Thank you! Appreciate it 🩷
@Olena Panasiuk 🚀 the best app for Friday evening :))))
@Alina Ponurenko Haha exactly!😆🫶
@Olena Panasiuk So fun! Who doesn't love a nightcap!
@Zoë ColivasExactly! End of the day it’s a tiny celebration ✨
@Olena Panasiuk Love this mindset! It’s refreshing to see someone embrace building in public, not for perfection, but for progress. I want to understand what one thing surprised you the most during this first build — something you didn’t expect to enjoy (or struggle with) as much?
@FlutterflowDevs Thank you!
The hardest part was not reworking everything every two minutes 😅
But when the logic finally clicked that was a tiny “oh wait, I can actually do this” moment.
