Vibe-y – Quick vibes check

I’m trying to hear from those of you riding the vibe‑coding wave — what you’re using it for, and how you’re going about validating your idea in the market (if that’s the intent, and not just a cool little automation you’re building for yourself).

Thanks for your time in advance.

Which of these describes you best right now?

Tinkering with an idea on the side Actively building something (solo or small team) Mostly building this for myself / for fun Have an idea but not started building yet Between projects, exploring ideas None of these fit me

Right now, where does it feel like most of the friction is?

Getting real clarity on the idea / problem Actually building / shipping things consistently Finding real users to test with Figuring out how this will make money Keeping my energy / motivation steady Feeling like I have the right support around me

What stage best describes the thing you’re working on?

Just vibes / notes / sketches Prototype / MVP that some people can use Live product with a few active users Live with paying users (however small) Not building anything specific right now

Have you looked for any support around this in the last 6–12 months?

Accelerator / pre‑accelerator / course / structured program Mentor, advisor, or 1‑1 coaching Agency, freelancer, or someone to “do it for me” Community, peer group, or founder circle Haven’t really looked for support yet

If you did try any of those, how did it actually feel?

Honestly, super helpful. I’d recommend it to others. Somewhat helpful, but didn’t fully meet me where I was. Too expensive / too generic / wrong stage for me. Nice enough, but didn’t really move things forward. I haven’t really tried any formal support yet.

If you could tweak one thing about the support available to you, what would it be?

Less generic, more specific to my situation. More tactical and hands‑on, less fluffy inspiration. Fits around my life better, without huge time commitments. More accountability and someone checking in on progress. Not sure yet, I just know what I have isn’t quite it.

How do you feel about tools or “co‑pilots” that sit alongside you while you build?

Very keen – if it genuinely saves me time / cycles. Open, but only if it fits my workflow and doesn’t spam me. Skeptical – most tools overpromise and under‑deliver. I’d rather lean on humans (mentors / peers) than tools. No strong view either way yet.

Would you be interested in being an early tester of something taking shape in the solo‑founder / AI‑wingman support space?
