My MeDo Hackathon Experience

I came across the 'Build with MeDo Hackathon' on DevPost.

Build with MeDo Hackathon

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 four tracks.

What I Built with MeDo

Kit

Kit Dashboard
A multi-tool productivity app accessible for both guests and registered users. Features include AI tools for generating images and videos, extracting text from images, compressing images, converting image formats, and generating QR codes, barcodes, invoices, restaurant menus, email signatures, and a markdown editor. MeDo managed product adoption features like different daily AI credit allocations for guests versus account users.

Try Kit!

Medicare

Medicare Clinical Portal
Role-based healthcare management software. MeDo generated the website, patient portal, and clinician portal from an initial prompt that simply stated the font, brand colors, and output expectation.

Clinician portal features:

  • Manage patients
  • Manage appointments
  • Prescription management
  • AI note taker (powered by Gemini 2.5 for transcription)
  • Workflow automation
  • Preset templates
  • Messaging with patients
  • Analytics

Patient portal features:

  • Find care providers
  • Manage health records
  • Message clinicians
  • Schedule appointments

Nerny

Nerny Tutor Portal
A solution to connect people interested in learning new languages and skills with skilled professionals. MeDo generated a website, admin panel, student portal, and tutor portal. It facilitated integration with Supabase for authentication, user management, and database management, plus Cloudinary for media management.

Serla

Serla E-commerce Manager
An e-commerce manager that allows businesses (physical products, digital products, or service providers) to create mini-stores, manage inventory, orders, customers, and generate invoices, QR codes, and barcodes all in-app. There's also a feature to list your store on the Serla website directory for potential customers to discover your business offerings.

How Intuitive Is MeDo?

I've found that MeDo is intuitive enough to build a standard website plus an app version from a single prompt.

Take Medicare as an example. MeDo generated the website, patient portal, and clinician portal from an initial prompt that simply stated the font, brand colors, and output expectation.

My prompt structure looked like this:

"Product Name: ..." + "Font: ..." + "Users should be able to ..."

My 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.

Pricing and Credits

MeDo comes with a generous free tier: 100 daily AI credits, plus 300 AI credits from referrals, with an allowance of up to 10 referrals per day. Free credits expire after 15 days, which is reasonable for active users.

Final Take

MeDo shows a lot of promise and can be next-level for a resourceful vibe coder, beginner or not. The pre-build requirements review and backend plugins are solid features. The missing piece is proactive guidance that challenges bad assumptions before they become bad code. Add that, and the barrier drops significantly.
