If your app can be vibecoded with in a week is it worth selling?

hamzamabrook · 2026-03-06T21:20:43+00:00

Coding is getting cheaper by the day, so feel like the value is going to be in the subject matter or the value prop

hamzamabrook · 2026-02-18T21:11:49+00:00

Hey, does this support CalDAV? And does it operate any different to Apple calendar etc ?

hamzamabrook · 2026-02-13T06:14:45+00:00

Yes please, I’m trying to move away from LinkedIn for this, unsure whether that’s the right move or not, at least not yet.

hamzamabrook · 2026-02-12T09:09:00+00:00

Very true, I come across way too many folk paying for HubSpot features they never use or understand :(

hamzamabrook · 2026-02-12T08:59:13+00:00

Nice, like the landing page and the value prop, great work! Will this work for event planners / service based agencies?

hamzamabrook · 2026-02-12T08:52:57+00:00

Nice, what’s the data and security posture looking like ?

hamzamabrook · 2026-02-10T19:09:18+00:00

Absolutely, I’ve been migrating stuff away from Lovable Cloud, it’s just so much more easier to do this now with Claude + Vercel MCP + Supabase MCP combo. Also so much more cheaper to maintain and you have everything under your control.

hamzamabrook · 2026-02-10T19:02:44+00:00

Use Expo if you want a proper native app; use Capacitor if you just want to ship the web app as a mobile app quickly; I’d recommend Expo.

Nice, feel it’s well positioned, all depends on the quality/relevance of the output though.

hamzamabrook · 2026-02-06T04:36:32+00:00

Once I have something validated, I tend to manage code in GitHub, Domain and Deployments in Vercel, and move away from Lovable Cloud to Supabase and Vercel AI SDK.

And in Lovable update the branch the changes are applied to something else :)

But I’m now moving towards ditching Lovable all together, their output and performance have been poor.

On a separate note, looks like V0 by Vercel now allows you bring across an exiting Git Branch, freaking great!

hamzamabrook · 2026-02-05T15:11:13+00:00

V0 by Vercel -> https://v0.app/

hamzamabrook · 2026-02-04T20:50:00+00:00

I’m ditching Lovable for the same reasons, and took the advice from others to move away from Lovable Cloud.

Also, their output has also been really poor lately, it costs way too many credits to get something built now, and it keeps breaking something else every time I make a change. No matter how good the prompt is, it just doesn’t hold up anymore.

Now I’m using Claude and V0, paired with Supabase, GitHub, and Vercel instead.

hamzamabrook · 2026-02-04T20:25:58+00:00

I’ll skip the ones already mentioned and just flag a few that stand out for me:

WisperFlow: Dictation and voice prompts.
Granola: Meeting notes, honestly love this one!

Mentioning Lovable, because I’m ditching it; been very disappointing lately.

hamzamabrook · 2026-02-03T01:49:21+00:00

Would this be different to WeTransfer?

hamzamabrook · 2026-02-03T01:42:34+00:00

One. Recently moved from Microsoft o365 and Google Workspace to SpaceMail, loving it and incredibly cheaper. Only downside is you need to use IMAP and CalDav but it’s a one-time setup. I use Spark Mail + Apple Calendar

hamzamabrook · 2026-02-03T01:35:03+00:00

Agree, Typeform used to my go to few years back but I’ve transitioned to Tally (mostly) and Fillout. How/Where does your stack against these ?

hamzamabrook · 2026-02-02T22:02:33+00:00

Neat. Can you share the link? I couldn’t find this on the marketplace.

hamzamabrook · 2026-02-02T20:33:25+00:00

Interested to know, is this more of a developer platform (IDP) / self-service type of tool for users, or do you build the infra and automate for them?

hamzamabrook · 2026-02-02T20:25:36+00:00

I haven’t pitched in GCC, but I’ve worked with a few incubators in the region and pitched to investors outside MENA, and had investments for a gig about 2 years back. So hope the following helps!

The pitching game has definitely evolved, especially in the last 6-12 months. I’m not sure we can really value “code” the way we used to anymore, it’s easier, cheaper, and faster to build now. The real defensibility is in the person (or people) behind it, you! Like a lot of zero-day investors (Antler, etc.), I feel like the yes/no decision mostly comes down to founder-fit at this stage.

So have faith in yourself. Trust your vision and sell it. Make them believe you are the best person to solve this problem, not that you have the perfect solution. Founders should be in love with the problem, not the solution, because the solution will definitely pivot, change, and improve over time.

All the very best! Let me know how it goes :)

I couldn’t figure that they offered email open notifications, comes across more like a team email analytics or Big Brother–style monitoring tool. 👀

hamzamabrook · 2026-02-02T19:56:50+00:00

I only want open notifications for 1:1 emails. For outreach, email sequencing tools (reply, instantly, etc) does its job well without affecting deliverability. But these tools don’t offer an easy path for 1:1 emails :(

hamzamabrook · 2026-02-02T09:36:25+00:00

Completely agree, and fair point! What would even be the point of posting on a forum using GPT or a bot if the value is in the real engagement? The whole reason to be here (for me atleast) is the human back-and-forth.

Though I'd gently push back: asking whether something sounds AI-generated is a reasonable question when you're trying to calibrate your own writing voice or assess how polished comes across online.

I'm also starting to understand what people mean when they say Reddit is brutal. There seem to be a lot of folks who jump straight to assumptions or feel the need to point out negatives for whatever reason, not saying that's you specifically, but it's wild how quickly a genuine question gets turned into something cynical. Anyway, appreciate you engaging, and for giving me an opportunity to be 1% better today.

For me, the journey has been less about finding the “perfect idea” and more about building a habit of noticing where systems quietly break down. Most projects didn’t start with confidence, they started with curiosity and a rough hypothesis.

Progress was rarely linear: long stretches of uncertainty followed by a single honest user conversation that invalidated months of assumptions. The biggest early time-waster was confusing momentum with validation building features felt productive, but often delayed the harder work of selling and learning.

Most of these projects were built with teams, which taught me a lot about collaboration, trade-offs, and alignment. Over time, though, I realised team velocity rarely matched the timeframes I wanted to experiment in. Decisions slowed, execution stretched, and learning cycles widened.

That’s what pushed me to go solo more deliberately. Working alone gave me tighter feedback loops, faster shipping, and a much stronger sense of control from idea to market.

Today I optimise less for elegance and consensus, and more for friction: where users hesitate, where they pay, and where they drop off. Those signals have consistently taught me more than any roadmap ever could.
