What is “Vibe Coding”?
Vibe coding is the art of developing intuitively, often alongside AI, in a fluid state of creativity. Here, we elevate that process by doing it transparently—accepting peer review and criticism to produce robust, high-quality products.
Why avoid the SaaS model?
We believe software shouldn’t be gated behind exorbitant monthly fees just for yuppies and tech bros. By sharing knowledge and leveraging efficient development, we can create powerful tools that are affordable or free for the everyday user.
Who can join Build In Public?
Anyone! Whether you’re an AI enthusiast, a weekend hobbyist, an aspiring developer, or a seasoned veteran wanting to mentor the next generation. If you’re open to learning and sharing your code journey, you belong here.
