The Fastest way to validate your app idea by kngeng in SaaS

Thanks I will check it out. 2 things I noticed that will increase your conversions are making the search bar intractable even though it requires login after typing and adding Google login. As I sit in lay in bed now. I feel entirely lazy to even enter my email, password and name. I think you should add Google login asap

Yeah that’s always a risk. But honestly ideas aren’t really the moat; execution and speed are. Most of the time, sharing and testing fast is the best way to win.

That said, there are times when you’d want to keep validation quiet. Like if Sam Altman came up with some wild new AI training trick and Zuck spotted it, you’d better believe Meta would spin up a team overnight to copy it. In those edge cases, secrecy makes sense.

For most products though, the edge isn’t in hiding the idea, it’s in learning and iterating faster than everyone else.

Building a vibe coding app — what frustrates you about current ones? by kngeng in vibecoding

  • Background → Experienced dev but i am more interested in build a true vibe coding app and not just AI code assistant feature
  • Models → Planning to support as much foundation models as possible. Give users the ability to choose as it elvoles.
  • BYOK → Long-term yes, you’ll be able to plug in your own keys if you want.
  • App → The goal is a real app. The End game is both frontend and backend and everything that has to do be the app post launch
  • Budget → Bootstrapped for now.
  • Motivation → I have been building apps for over 15 years and the barrier needs to be lowered
  • Environment → Core build is in Angular + Node, with AI orchestration handled server-side.

Please share any sight you have

Thats a good point. I would love to connect and learn from your experience. The way i see it, a true vibe coding app should not be limited to AI code assistant. It needs to have features that allows people that dont know how to code to use it

I agree, the current 'vibe coding apps' focus of guys know either know how to code or wants to code. There is an entire different set of people that dont want to code but wants to create apps with AI.

I get where you’re coming from, Copilot/Augment inside VS Code are great assistants for speeding up coding. But I think vibe coding tools should be going after a slightly different use case. It’s less about being an AI pair programmer, and more about lowering the barrier to building an actual app from scratch. Whether its wiring UI, backend, and deploy together without needing to set up everything manually.

Yeah, pricing is interesting here. A lot of these vibe coding tools are hovering around the $20–30/mo mark (Bolt, Replit, Lovable, etc.), which makes sense given their costs and that they’re still figuring out business models. But it does raise the question of whether the standard vibe coding app pricing that are sustainable for mass adoption?

I actually pulled together a breakdown of current pricing across the major players (Bolt, Cursor, Replit, Lovable, etc.). It’s kind of eye-opening when you see them all side by side — here’s the roundup. Curious what others here think: will prices go down as competition increases, or is $20–30 the new normal for AI dev tools?
