My MeDo Hackathon Experience

I came across the "Build with MeDo Hackathon" on DevPost. As someone who does a fair amount of vibe coding, I'm always looking for AI-assisted tools that can handle full-stack deployment without falling apart halfway through.

The hackathon had five tracks:

  • Work & Productivity
  • Business & E‑commerce
  • Learning & Education
  • Lifestyle & Game
  • Surprise Us!

I submitted to three tracks.

The Vibe Coding Experience

What I liked:

MeDo generates a preliminary requirements text file before building anything. That's useful. As a vibe coder, you can review the product requirements and make corrections before MeDo builds the first version. It saves time.

I also appreciated that MeDo includes backend plugins. You don't have to write or copy-paste integration code for things like Supabase authentication. It handles that part.

What I'd like to see:

An argument section. The AI should be able to look at what you're trying to build and offer a better approach if yours has problems.

Right now, MeDo mostly does what you ask. That works if you already know what you're doing. For beginners still learning the ropes, this feature would reduce the barrier to bringing ideas to life. Seasoned software engineers won't need it. They already know how to prompt for specific integrations.
