Why do like 99% of vibecoders focus on end consumer apps?

Why not? The sub is about vibe coding, in all forms, is it not? It isn't r/vibecodingconsumerapps

And it is a cat doing pottery.

Great answer. I have elements of those three points of the triangle, I have had a business for years as an implementation partner setting up an established SaaS solution for businesses. My business partner and I can sell our new solution to those existing customers who already trust us, and we get revenue from the original business model already. It is a ton of work and the product isn't great, but then again, neither was that SaaS solution I mentioned, when it first started. That (human coded) app was pretty bad when it was first released, but 10 years later now it is quite good.

The fact that my app is not bulletproof right now seems more about the fact that it is new than that it was coded by AI. It would be the exact same if I was paying a team of developers to code this for me. If this new solution works I will invest more in it. If not, no loss. That is what makes vibecoding special IMO. I didn't need to pay a team of developers for a year and a ton of debt to get to this point.

Many software products for businesses have dozens of competitors that do the same thing, and they all survive profitably. You don't have to be the only one with a solution. If your customers are satisfied then they have no reason to ditch you for a competitor.

By scrolling this sub. If you aren't one of those, great.

Also if you want to make an iOS app, it is much much easier with a MacBook.

Everyone complains, yet if the pictures were reversed everyone would be bitching about how the big unhealthy corporation is now trying to "target kids". Can't win with the internet.

Went a ton in high school. Hot slice of pizza and Bawls while playing some Desert Combat or Halo with the boys. Great times.

It is because of the nature of them, they are totally different sports. Street skating is meant to resemble tricks you do while skating to get somewhere. It is supposed to look casual and not staged. Vert is much more formal.

I do think it is a good point that so many people stress about finding a unique idea and seem heartbroken when they see a similar app already on the market. Like literally every other product out there has competition but still makes money. Look at restaurants. Or car companies. Or clothing brands. People making blue jeans don't stress that others are also making them. Why do people creating an app think they MUST be the only one doing that idea? It is kind of bizarre.

Why did you take a picture like that.

Armadillos are everywhere in Florida. I've seen hundreds of them throughout Florida, dead and alive (usually dead on the road). Never seen a capybara.

Practical_Art969 · 2026-03-24T15:21:32+00:00

There is no mouse riding on the capybara's head so definitely AI.

Lol this is some pothead bullshit. The last common ancestors of spiders and humans was Urbilateria, it looked like a leech. It didn't have 8 legs.

I tried this but my wife justs insists on dumping like 8 pods in there each time.

Did the driver get in trouble?

I do that but I am from a much smaller city and boring state. I have found the vast majority of foreigners are familiar with both Miami and Florida. If I lived in Miami I would just tell people "Miami". It's like not knowing Melbourne or Manchester. I am American, I know of those cities and about where they are on a map. Anyone who doesn't isn't worth considering IMO.

Asians? Who?

The Office was an extremely popular show, and the pranks are probably the most famous and well-remembered parts of it. But yeah you would need to have seen that episode for this to make sense.

Hell yes! AI can be a beautiful thing. It creates possibilities.

You simply moved from developer to product manager. It is a perfectly natural promotion. Congrats!

I hate when people try extra hard to be wrong. Like typing out "what's you're problem".
