A skeptical take: few people use vibe-coded apps

may be easy to make, but they can still struggle to get real users or earn money. Workout tracking apps are used as an example of a crowded idea where spending hundreds of dollars on may not pay back soon.

The same skepticism applies to spending time browsing of newly vibe-coded projects. The main point is that faster app building does not solve the harder question: why anyone should use or pay for the app.

  • can be quick to build but hard to turn into real usage.
  • Workout tracking apps are given as an example of a crowded category.
  • Spending hundreds of dollars on may not be recovered quickly.
  • The harder problem is user demand, not just app creation speed.
