What Is This App?
It’s a place for developers and tech folks to anonymously share their confessions, fails, wins, and discoveries — celebrating both our struggles and successes. Because let’s be honest, tech life is a rollercoaster, and sometimes we just need a safe spot to vent or brag.
How Did I Build It Without Code?
I built this app using Lovable — a platform that lets you build software products using only a chat interface. Yep, instead of writing code, you chat with Lovable to shape your product.
Here’s the kicker: Lovable recently became a unicorn, securing a $200M Series A just 8 months after launch. Honestly, now that I’ve used it, I totally get why.
Under the hood, the app is a React + Tailwind web app, deployed seamlessly on Netlify. It’s powered by Supabase for backend services, connected through Lovable’s integration — which I believe uses a Model Context Protocol (MCP) to glue everything together smoothly.
Fun fact: I’ve used Supabase before — manually reading docs, setting up auth, writing queries. This time? One click and it just worked. Surreal.
Why Is This a Big Deal for Me?
I’ve built and shipped apps before — but this is the first one where I never opened a code editor to tweak a thing. No fixes, no UI adjustments, not even a single deployment script.
It’s fascinating how far tooling has come. You can really go from idea to live product without ever typing a line of code.
But… I’m Still Not 100% Sold
I’m pretty sure I’ll eventually have to:
Bump the vulnerable packages and remove unused ones
Double-check the RLS (Row-Level Security) settings
Admit that it’s just another CRUD app that will probably end up like most side projects — quietly sitting in the background..

Final Thoughts
This journey has opened my eyes to a new way of building software. One that feels less like wrestling with code and more like collaborating with a creative partner. I’m excited to see where this goes next.

This was a great read! It's exciting to see how tools like Vibe are lowering the barrier to entry for app development. You laid out your experience really clearly, and it's encouraging for anyone curious about no-code platforms. Looking forward to seeing what you build next!
