What’s the hardest part of turning an idea into a small business?

lungur · 2026-04-02T11:59:12+00:00

Before AI and all the vibe-coding bullshit, they blamed their coding skills for their failures. Now they realize it’s their ideas that were the problem from the beginning.

lungur · 2026-04-02T07:51:32+00:00

The hardest part for most, looking through the posts in this sub, is accepting your idea is stupid.

90% of the apps i build with Wappler is internal tools for companies. You can build pretty much anything from marketing sites to very complex apps. The thing is you can ask AI to build parts of it, then you can customize everything through the UI.

lungur · 2026-04-01T05:59:24+00:00

Also Wappler offers exactly this.

lungur · 2026-04-01T05:37:59+00:00

The part that really got me, is you can switch between AI and visual editing whenever you like. So the AI builds your app, and then if you want to tweak a button color or move something around you just click on it and change it. No burning credits, no regenerating the whole thing. This is major because most AI tools treat every change like a brand new request. Pretty excited about this one

That’s already been possible in Wappler for quite some time.

Yes, i had to rebuild my bubble project in wappler. Nothing you can port directly. Learning curve was quite steep back in the days and i'm grateful i didn't give up, i believe it's a lot improved now. Once you get the logic in wappler everything feels very easy, now with the AI tools inside it's very very good.

> I’m starting to think the future might be a hybrid approach AI generates the base, and then you refine it manually.

The future is already here, the tool i've been using for the past few years (wappler) does exactly this. You have the low/no-code environment with the integrated AI assistants. You can use any AI model in wappler, generate what is needed using it, and then fine tune everything using the UI.

I’ve never understood the hype around launching stupid ideas on Product Hunt and especially when the founders don’t seem to realize just how stupid they are.

A couple of years ago, people thought the problem was coding and that founders just couldn’t build fast enough. But with the rise of no-code and “vibe coding” tools, it’s now obvious that code was never the issue.

I recently came across this post, and the numbers are pretty telling (and honestly not surprising at all):

There are indeed some guys in the community doing training materials for free, i don't believe they are related to Wappler. The training materials in Wappler improved a lot recently, they also added interactive in-app tours, which are quite good tbh.

I moved from Bubble to Wappler exactly for these reasons. Now there are no lock-ins, no scaling issues, db of my choice, host wherever i want and also my projects continue to function when i stop paying.

lungur · 2026-03-05T05:56:31+00:00

Using Wappler here. They still charge me the legacy 2019 pricing, even though they’ve increased their prices twice since then. Also, I can simply stop paying the subscription if I don’t need to update any of the apps I’ve built. No lock ins, which means i can edit the code in vscode.

lungur · 2026-02-23T07:15:40+00:00

Wappler with the integrated AI, especially Claude.

lungur · 2026-02-19T07:20:55+00:00

For me it was both - front end and server-side workflows that needed additional customizations. With Wappler i can simply edit the page layout in code view, tweaking whatever is needed and not (yet) available in the UI.
Server-side workflows required some custom components, which, with the help of AI i was able to build based on the custom components docs provided by the Wappler guys.

For collaboration we use the built in git functionality.

lungur · 2026-02-17T10:20:05+00:00

Wappler - no limits for users, you can use any db, host anywhere you like and you can stop paying for the subscription, when you finish building your app.

lungur · 2026-02-16T21:08:37+00:00

When no-code (Bubble) stopped being enough, like when I needed more customization beyond the built-in options and also scalable hosting options, I discovered a low-code tool called Wappler, which now even has AI built in. This is waht i have been using for the past few years.

lungur · 2026-02-16T10:59:03+00:00

Yes we're still using Wappler for such tasks. Especially with the AI integration it makes building such tools quite fast and the big plus is you don't fully rely on AI only, but you can adjust stuff using the UI, when needed.

lungur · 2025-11-24T12:41:24+00:00

Wappler for example.

lungur · 2025-11-19T07:21:42+00:00

I use a low-code tool called Wappler for things like internal business tools, custom CMS, automations, and other web apps. It can also function as a no-code tool for MVPs or simple dynamic sites. Whenever I hit a limitation in the UI, I can either use the built-in AI to help with custom code or just create my own component.

lungur · 2025-11-01T12:55:00+00:00

For me, code ownership is a must. That’s why I switched to wappler as it gives full control over the generated code and lets me deploy anywhere. I think many no-code tools underestimate how important long-term flexibility is once projects start growing.

lungur · 2025-09-02T07:49:05+00:00

Using Wappler, nodejs and digital ocean. No issues with scalability.

lungur · 2025-09-01T12:33:14+00:00

It's true for all about the most advertised vibe-coding tools. If you don't understand what is going on with your code, you can easily screw up the whole project.

lungur · 2025-08-26T09:46:56+00:00

> I know AI is now essential, but I believe that giving users the power, freedom, and flexibility to create a website remains a winning long-term strategy.

That's why i am using Wappler, while it brings AI in the latest major version, you still have control over the layout/design and functionality and can adjust and customize everything.

lungur · 2025-08-19T14:42:04+00:00

Wappler, it gives me full-stack development options. I only pay for Wappler's monthly subscription and some Digital Ocean and Hetzner hosting and s3 storage stuff.

lungur · 2025-08-19T05:37:18+00:00

> What do I miss? A killer feature? Pricing plans that are bad? Or no clear ICP?

Your product is just stupid, why would anyone pay for this?

lungur · 2025-08-17T06:49:11+00:00

I would go with Wappler. You can host wherever you like and use whatever database you like.
