For those wondering, here's the date I launched my first ever app to the Appstore. It was a math game built entirely with Storyboards!
And it actually had a ton of downloads, but my monetization strategy was ads, so I made peanuts with it 😅
I think I'm feeling nostalgic guys, sorry
That’s why my next product is taking weeks, not days to build, even with frontier AI models.
Because building a good product still requires:
- Deep product understanding
- Domain knowledge
- Good product taste
- Thoughtful UI/UX
- A ridiculous amount of iteration
AI can accelerate development, but it can’t replace knowing what to build, why it matters, and what makes it genuinely good.
I have no idea how it’ll perform once I launch.
But I’m pretty damn sure it’ll be a product I’m proud of.
contrary to popular belief, vibe-coding a good product is still very hard..
requires a good understanding of what you're trying to build, UX, & hella back/forth to translate your vision to the agent
creating a product that you expect 1000's of people to use requires a lot of testing + attention to detail, it's not the same as building quick internal tools that only serve one purpose
