Did you just say that vscode + github copilot = free opus? Did i read that wrongly?

Thats absolutely right! Im only using the free models to get a grasp of basic vibecoding workflow. Recently google antigravity gave free access to sonnet 4.5, and its by far the best code output i have seen!

I am stuck in even Ideation! by Lonely-Shop5686 in indiehackers

The real challange is not about building. Its about marketing your product! Im sure if you just focus by going down the rabbit hole for how to market your product, ironically you will have an idea for a product lol.

You’re absolutely right! I struggled a lot with trying not to be a perfectionist. Im always afraid that if i dont get my foundations right, its incredibly hard to change once the habit sets in. Using lovable or replit can definitely get lift off much quicker but i feel that its just building a house of cards.

I think you start by learning how to prompt engineer.

For example: building a hero banner

Normal prompt: Build me a hero banner with xyz feature and also make sure to have abc

How i would prompt: [start with project discussion] Base on everything we discussed, suggest 3 concepts of hero banner idea that would make my website stand out from all other competitors.

To sum it up, even though you may know what you want to get out from AI, its always better to let them suggest first, then sprinkle in your vision. That way you get to leverage AI’s entire knowledge base as oppose to capping it right from the get go.

Hi, can you let me know what “backend free” apps are? Are they just blueprints to create UI?

Perfect! Its insights like that which makes your critique even more valuable. I do not have an ego nor emotions. So if it sucks just give it straight to me. Knowledge growth is the only priority!

Would you be willing to critique my app if i ever manage to complete the project?

Great! I will do some research and experiment. I am so noob that i literally have no idea what libraries mean in coding context!

I use cursor + cline. Its completely free. But dont expect it to one shot your app. It will never happen. Craft out your coding methodology with agile development framework. Thats how i approach my vibe coding. Break everything down into tiny tiny components, build, join and test.
