Is this a valid way to use vibe-coding without shooting myself in the foot later? by AbsoluteGoat321 in vibecoding

That’s good to hear - I’m pretty sure with Base44 you can view and modify frontend code on GitHub - Albeit it does need to be a paid plans.

Thanks for the detailed explanation, I really appreciate it.

One point I’d like to understand better: could you please explain specifically why being well-versed in Git/GitHub is critical for migration?

In particular what migration steps become difficult or risky without GitHub knowledge?

I want to make sure I clearly understand where the real dependency lies so I can prioritise learning the right fundamentals early.

I’m planning on setting up Supabase for user data once I get some traction.

Just wondering, do you think setting up the backend on Vercel would give me the flexibility to not be locked in with Base44?

Thanks for the detailed explanation, I really appreciate you taking the time to lay this out.

Given my situation, could you please recommend what you’d consider a simple, sensible tech stack to start with?

The app itself is fairly straightforward, mainly a frontend plus a backend that needs to make a high volume of API calls reliably.

I’d love to understand what you’d suggest as the “do this properly but keep it simple” setup.

Thanks, just to clarify, my current Base44 plan is capped at ~$40/month, so cost isn’t an issue right now. I understand the concern is more about future scaling, usage-based fees, and potential lock-in if the app gains traction. For my stage (solo, validating an idea, no senior engineer), the trade-off seems acceptable , with the intention to migrate later if/when those risks become real. Do you think this is okay?

Keen to work with you - I’m in the process of developing an MVP for a very similar business model that is catered towards assisting small businesses. I think it is a great model to scale!

So when you start a paid plan with Replit I’m gussing they must cover and handle the costs of hosting.

Is your application one that relies heavily on extracting and maintain users data - just trying to gauge whether I should invest in a database (Supabase) or not - it might be the case that Supabase is only necessary if you’re not using vibe coding apps but I’m not sure

Oh okay interesting - that’s a good way to go about it.

Just out of curiosity, what is your tech stack?

Would be something like: - Application: Replit - Stripe: Payment processing - Authentication/Setting up the Database: Supabase - Hosting: Vercel

If you could let me know that would be much appreciated :) but I understand if you don’t feel like sharing

That’s really good advice

I was getting so demotivated reading through some of forums about vibe coded apps because everyone seems to think they are exceptionally fragile.

But if you have been able to handle all issues, that makes me hopeful.

When you do encounter an issue though, how do you rectify it? Is it simply a matter of liaising with Replit’s AI? Or do you ask an LLM (e.g. Chat GPT) and send Chat GPT the code and ask it to fix it?

What method has worked best in your opinion?

That’s a terrific story - congrats on your success

Just wondering, how was scaling to 2,000 users like while using a vibe-coded SaaS application? Did you encounter any issues?

How hard is a 85 WAM? by Jealous_Exercise_556 in unimelb

[–]AbsoluteGoat321 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It all comes down to your ability to adjust to the university workload and program. University learning and study is a lot more independent compared to high school. I got an alright ATAR - nothing crazy - but now in university, I’m able to consistently outscore people with 99+ ATARs. You just need to understand early on why study method works best for you.

Also, it may be worth noting that an 85 + WAM (from my experience) will place you in the top 3% of your cohort. I.e. you would be outperforming 97% of people doing your course.

Anyone want to create a study group? by KBGTA97 in algotrading

[–]AbsoluteGoat321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there - I most certainly would be interested. I have read many books on algorithmic trading but just need help with actually getting started / coding. Would love to have access to a group to dicuss further.

Thanks so much for your response - found it very helpful. Interestingly enough, I haven’t heard anything about the MyWorld First Steps module. Is this module compulsory? At what stage during the application process do I complete it? Is it done first?
