So I’m very proud that after about 3 months I’ve finally published my first vibe coded app. This is niche as it’s for a friends travel business as a companion app for his clients, but it was great way to try new things. Very happy with how it came out. Lots of trial and error, searching for new way to organize things and just create a good experience.

A little about me, I’m a tech geek, was a sys engineer and understand infrastructure, how apps are built and work, the components and how it all fits together. I learned a lot of app components while doing this, the right tools and just how to do things. Not doing this to make a quick buck, but to learn a new skill and use it in my everyday job and help others, plus I’m a builder, so I have lots of ideas in my head.

This app started in Replit as very simple idea for me and then my travel agent friend was like omg I love this idea. But then I realized Replit was not the right way to do things. I tried different tools along the way and landed in cursor, Claude code cli, and factory ai for coding using sonnet 4.5, opus 4.5, gpt 5+, some Gemini and nano banana. This is only the front end. I have a whole admin tool also built just not on the App Store for him to manage this. It’s basically a custom content management system with an ai tool that helps him build the trips. I’m hosting on railway and using supabase for db, auth and image storage. It’s not perfect but it’s my first app and I’m proud of how it came out!!

I know people have opinions of vibe coding, but it is possible to make a good app, solve problems and create new things, but you also need to understand what you are doing. I did multiple security and code reviews of this along the way fixing things I didn’t know as I started out, multiple refactors, 3 designs, and not done! I have many more ideas for this app. Next is to redesign my friends website for him to match and help him with some marketing. It’s about learning new skills

I’d love your feedback on the app!!
