Stunning!
This is my first real vibe coding project.
Aguante started as a marketplace idea for football shirt collectors.
The original goal was to connect buyers and sellers of rare, vintage and historic football shirts in a dedicated platform focused on collectors culture. But during the research process, interviews and competitive analysis, we realized something interesting:
The real pain wasnāt only buying or selling. It was discovering.
Collectors spend hours searching through Mercado Livre, OLX, stores, Instagram pages and random marketplaces trying to find rare pieces, often with poor organization and low trust.
That insight changed the direction of the project.
Instead of starting as a marketplace, Aguante evolved into a discovery platform - a search engine focused on collectible football shirts.
The platform monitors multiple sources daily, indexing public listings and helping collectors discover rare, used and historic shirts in a cleaner and more curated experience.
This project also became my first real āvibe codingā experience.
The entire MVP is being designed and structured using tools like:
- Claude Code
- OpenAI Codex
- GitHub Actions
- scraping automations
- AI-assisted workflows
The process has been really interesting because it mixes:
UX/UI design, product thinking, scraping pipelines, SEO strategy, collector behavior research and AI-assisted development.
In just two weeks running, Aguante is already indexing more than 12,000 football shirt listings across multiple stores and marketplaces automatically.
Right now, the project is still in validation phase, but itās exciting to see an idea that started as a simple niche marketplace slowly turning into something much bigger.
If you enjoy football culture, vintage shirts or collectible products, feel free to explore the project:

More than the stands, itās collecting.
Nice work
I build AI-powered creative systems designed for brands that want to look big without the big agency price tag.
You enter in one product image and your brand guidelines and ElevenLabs gives you a full campaign; hero shots, lifestyle images, voiceover scripts, and music prompts. Along with high quality video. All of it. Ready to publish.
I specialize in e-commerce, fashion, and lifestyle brands. If you're launching a single SKU, a new collection, or a whole new brand, this is becoming the fastest way to do it with one prompt.
This isn't templated output that looks like AI. It's a cinematic creative system built around your brand world.
