Hey, pull up a chair. I want to ask you something.
When was the last time you actually, consciously listened?
not consumed. not 2x'd . just... listened?
Yeah. That's what i thought.
You run six claude sessions, a podcast at 2x, you got X scrolling in another tab.
You're a router. info goes through you. nothing lands.
That's why yesterday we started, (and finished) building VibeFM.
Your personal radio station. You pick your topics. it builds you a show. right now. just for you. no skip. no pause. no rewind.
I know what you're thinking. "that's bad UX"
It's not. That's the whole point.
The constraint forces presence. You show up and actually listen or you miss it.
Morning coffee. 15 minutes. your three things. a voice built for you, today. no scrolling. no tabs. just you, your topics, and your coffee.
Set it up. add your topics. hit play. get your life back.
And now the absolute best part of all this.
VibeFM was built in a villa. By strangers. In one day.
Let me tell you.
A couple weeks ago, I attended a Claude event in Lisbon. Everyone was talking about how to ship faster and more efficiently. So I had an idea.
What if we stopped talking about shipping fast and actually tested it, with a random group of strangers?
So that's what we did.
We brought a group of builders to a villa for 48h.
We had just one rule: leave with something live. in production. or we failed.
Friday: we arrived. got to know everyone. brainstorm. 10+ ideas pitched. one idea kept rising. the kind you can explain in one sentence and watch the room go 'oh... I would actually use this everyday'.
Saturday 11am: nothing. no repo. no design.
Saturday 9pm: shipped VibeFM. live. open source.
We built it in 10 hours. We were strangers who'd known each other for less than 24 hours. no meetings. no pitch decks. just builders and a deadline that meant something.
And here's why that matters for you, the user:
VibeFM doesn't smell like a startup. It doesn't smell like a roadmap. It smells like a bunch of humans in a kitchen at 8pm saying "wait, what if you literally couldn't skip?" and someone else going "hmm...yeah. yeah, that's the whole thing man."
That's the energy baked into this product over the last 48h.
So, when you hit play on VibeFM, you're not just getting a personalized radio station.
You're getting a thing that was made the way things used to be made. by humans, in a room, sharing meals, staying up late, laughing, shipping. The exact opposite of the loop it's pulling you out of.
It's a product about reconnecting, built by people who connected to make it.
