SpecSaaS

@tristanbob @boltdotnew Solid framework! One addition: before 'Start High-Level,' add a 'Plan Phase' write out user flows + data model in plain language. Even 5 minutes of structure saves hours of iterating. AI builds way cleaner when it knows the full picture upfront. What's the hackathon about?

Tonight I'm working on my slides for the hackathon I'm running next Saturday. I'm using @boltdotnew to generate and edit the slides. If it's a simple text change, I'll get my hands dirty and simply edit the file. Do you agree with these tips for vibe coding? Start High-Level • Describe your high-level goals first • Let AI build the first version • Guide with iterative feedback Handle Errors • Ask AI to fix errors directly • Roll back to previous versions • Don't get stuck debugging Start Fresh • Starting over is a valid strategy • Don't be afraid to pivot ideas • Speed matters in vibe coding Remember: You're the creative director. The AI is your production team. Focus on WHAT you want, not HOW to build it.

Lovable for speed, Claude Code for complex logic.Why: Lovable ships fast but needs clear specs upfront. That's why we built SpecSaaS structures your idea (flows, data model, personas) before you prompt any tool.Vibe coder → dev pipeline: good specs make ALL these tools 10x better.

what's your fave tool right now for building software? cursor claude code codex factory something else? reply below with: - what you use - why - whether you're vibe coder or professional dev i'm curious because they ALL seem very good right now and shipping new stuff fast.

@forgebitz This is the real test of AI coding! Web CRUD is easy mode. When you're in unexplored territory, the quality of your instructions matters 10x more. We built SpecSaaS for exactly this—helps you think through edge cases/flows before prompting. What's the app?

i am vibe coding a little app it's crazy how different the quality of AI code is when you step outside the web dev crud space you really understand why some people aren't that excited about using AI for coding claude code seems to be the best one to figure stuff out "by itself"

@maddiedreese Love this progression! The gap between vibe coder and 'actual developer' is really just: can you think through the full system before building? User flows, data relationships, edge cases. That planning skill separates scrappy builds from production apps. Keep going!

Vibe coder here. Have I officially graduated from non-technical status? I’ve learned so much through vibe coding that I think I might just be a newbie developer. I’m definitely not an engineer, but I’ve learned a lot of the basics and am now able to figure out how to build anything I’d realistically want to, even if I’m not the one writing the code myself.

@petergyang This is a great list! Suggestion: break into categories: Code completion (Copilot, Tabnine) Chat-based (Claude Code, Cursor) Full app builders (Lovable, v0, Bolt) Spec/Planning (SpecSaaS) Most people jump to code tools without the planning layer. That's the gap.

Doing some research on AI coding tools. Any top players I'm missing from the list below? GitHub Copilot Cursor Claude Code OpenAI Codex Gemini Jules Windsurf / Devin Bolt Lovable v0 Replit Figma Make Cline Factory Amp

@managerhacks @lovable Love that you learned it the hard way best teacher! 😄 Your template sounds comprehensive. SpecSaaS basically automates that templating process and adds an AI Q&A layer to catch edge cases you might miss. But honestly, if your template works, stick with it!

@SpecSaaS @lovable I was definitely THAT person until two days ago when I started seeing my credits go dramatically down :) I have a template to be very explicit - it does include pages, the UX (i.e. flow / jobs to be done / access / navigation). What about you?

What I learned from 7 days of building with @lovable 🤖 1️⃣ Think like a product manager, not a prompt writer. 2️⃣ Focus on 1 project at a time. 3️⃣ A great first prompt = half the build. 4️⃣ Iterate like a dev team. 5️⃣ Check AI’s work. 6️⃣ With Cloud + AI the sky is the limit ✨

@hamdidesigns Would I use this again?' is the only metric that matters at MVP stage. For CommentLens, what was the ONE core flow you knew had to be perfect before launch? Curious how you decided what made the cut vs. what to ship later.

Quick insight from building my app: Your MVP doesn’t need to be feature-rich. It just needs to be lovable enough that a user says: ‘I’d use this again.’ That’s my north star with CommentLens ✨

@omoalhajaabiola Love this combo! We're building SpecSaaS to help teams document these integrations properly user flows, data model, webhook specs so Lovable builds it right the first time. The automation is only as good as the blueprint. 🎯

N8n and other no-code automation tools work at the background. Backend sort of. Lovable can be used for the frontend, especially in building functionaries and interactivity For instance, you can vibecode with lovable for a leads generation agency and automate the leads acquisition, sorting and segmentation with n8n using webhooks. This is the future of automation. Bookmark this tweet

@lovable From rough idea to complete spec kit in minutes. Built for Lovable and AI development. Your apps deserve better documentation. Try SpecSaaS.

Today is the LAST day of the 7-day Lovable Cloud & AI build challenge! Each day, we spotlight apps (see below), share today's theme, and surprise builders with mystery gifts. These are yesterday's highlighted projects and the final theme:

@alexcooldev Would be curious what your process looked like. Did you map everything out first or figure it out while building?

@alexcooldev Result: Day 2 code matches your vision from the start, not after multiple refinement cycles.

From zero to an MVP launch in 7 days (final app in this year): Day 2 log - Built onboarding flow + bottom nav - Still vibe coding, code isn’t fully how I want yet, will refine on Day 3 Marketing work: - Researched competitor viral content - Warmed up accounts + tested first pieces of content Day 2 = Onboarding & Bottom nav Day 3 = Build Day 4 = Build Build Build... Keep going 💪

@thisiskp_ Congrats on the launch. This is genuinely needed.

@thisiskp_ Would love to explore how SpecSaaS + Dreamlit could work together. Structured specs on the frontend, automated email infrastructure on the backend. The full vibe coding stack.

Bolt and Lovable let you ship apps without code. But they left one problem unsolved: TRANSACTIONAL EMAILS Think: Sign up, password reset, onboarding emails, etc. Supabase integration is great (just 1-click) but is EXTREMELY LIMITED in its power. Plus no shade on Supa but frankly the design of these emails ... is UGLY AF (understandably bc it is not their main focus) The moment your app needs to send a single automatic email to the user, you're back to being a developer. Reading docs. Configuring APIs. Debugging SMTP. I've experienced this pain myself wrangling thru existing platforms which didn't let me simply "vibe code" or prompt my way into setting up BEAUTIFUL transactional emails like I wanted. Felt like the "vibe code dream" just died at the email infrastructure layer. Until now 👇 Introducing @DreamlitAI: Send beautiful, branded, and professional emails to your users by chatting with AI. Today, I'm backing Dreamlit AI as an advisor and bringing the party to (hunting it) on @ProductHunt 🚀 Simply connect your Supabase account. Then describe what you need in plain English: >"Send a welcome email when users sign up" >"Ping me on Slack when someone cancels" >"Remind users if they haven't completed onboarding in 3 days" Dreamlit builds the entire thing: ✅ Database triggers ✅ Workflow logic ✅ Beautifully designed emails ✅ Production-ready deployment No code. No configuration. No documentation rabbit holes. Why this matters: Vibe coding tools democratized the "build" part of software. Dreamlit democratizes the "actually making it work" part. If you can describe your app, you should be able to describe your notifications. The barrier shouldn't jump from zero to "learn email infrastructure." This is what the vibe coding movement was supposed to be: accessible end-to-end. S/o @AjaySohmshetty @andrewk17 for building this beauty. Would love your support and feedback on the PH page 🚀👇 [PH link in comments]
