You are right Dominik! A lot of these tools have a similar flow. I tried Lovable for the frontend seemed very seamless with recursive prompting and you can easily connect with Supabase and that takes care of the backend.
so interesting, thank you so much for putting this together! :)
one question that randomly came to mind (and I'm neither an engineer or PM so the question might be a bit basic) but, if leaders can prototype this fast, what happens to PMs? As far as I understand, their role is basically translating between business and engineering.
If that translation layer is automated via prompting, does PM become less strategic or MORE strategic?
Hi Mia! That is a really interesting insight. I think in this case the role of PMs becomes more strategic, orchestrating work between teams and tools, as Joel mentions. AI Management might be a key trait of any PM, going forward.
I think a project manager who successfully navigates the next decade is able to balance the work of not just a team of people but a combined team of people and AI agents, which will not be easy. What do you think?
This is a fantastic playbook for leaders, shrinking the time from idea to prototype is a major leap forward. Love the focus on showing instead of telling with a working demo.
Absolutely, Sharyph! Thank you for your kind words. It's one of the best outcomes of AI- anyone with an idea can develop a prototype to give their mission a vision. And Lovable is the easiest platform to start with!
Being able to go from an idea to a real, clickable prototype so quickly reshapes the entire process for testing ideas and getting buy-in from investors.
Thank you for the appreciation, Mike! The objective, indeed, was to make sure the project is as easy and modular as it can be for non-technical professionals :)
why Lovable? I've been teaching people how to prototype and build for themselves and have been suggesting Replit because it will set up the backend and deployment for them.
I haven't played to much with lovable though, and genuinely curious.
I think a lot of these tools are the same, interested in your perspective.
They are similar, lovable seems to be the easiest but also least customizable, followed by bolt with higher complexity and finally cursor with most complexity and customization. Have not use replit too much
Thank you A. Zink! Yes, the idea was to show how you don't need to be a developer to build a POC. Moving further, you will be probably need to spend some time on Supabase to strengthen the backend. And then deploy it with Vercel or Heroku. These things too can be done by a vibecoder but having a developer just streamlines the whole process.
The key is to ship and onboard the idea, product follows.
That is actually one of the hardest pieces, the tweaking and finalizing the product for delivery. I'll let Ashwin and Raghanv speak into their experience.

I'm curious to try Replit as well.

That makes so much sense! If nothing else, PMs will be needed more than ever!
I think they will!

Yes, Sharyph! If you are not familiar with Cash and Cache, you should check them out, I think you’d like their work
Thanks for the shoutout, Joel! :)

Absolutely, the most agile pitchbook in today's times!
Yes it really does!
Great, accessible, and actionable framework anyone can use to quickly ramp up with their first vibe coding project.
Thank you for the appreciation, Mike! The objective, indeed, was to make sure the project is as easy and modular as it can be for non-technical professionals :)
Yes! It is amazing to try it for the first time and see what is now possible.
Great breakdown
Great break down.

Great proof of concept and example build. I'm curious how long it will take the finish the back end. Looking forward to seeing where this goes.

So many options available. Great resource.
Thank you Dennis!
Another banger article by Raghav and Ashwin!!!
Thanka Jessica and shoutout to Joel for giving us this opportunity!
You’re very welcome!!
Yes!! 100% agree
