While it would take hours or even days for a beginner to get a simple app up and running without AI, vibe coding allows you to do this in minutes.<\/p>\n<p>I dived into the world of vibe coding by completing a Google AI course, which covered the essentials of using Google AI Studio. And after I got my first app up and running, I realized that the experience was different from what I\u2019d envisioned.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"e_et\">Have you vibe-coded an app before?<\/h3>\n<p>3 votes<\/p>\n<p>Yes, a web app.<\/p>\n<p>0%<\/p>\n<p>Yes, a mobile app.<\/p>\n<p>0%<\/p>\n<p>Both web and mobile apps.<\/p>\n<p>0%<\/p>\n<p>No.<\/p>\n<p>100%<\/p>\n<p><h2>1.

I had some help in terms of the course, which included lessons that gave me example prompts and showed off different tools. But these weren\u2019t in-depth or complex lessons. Most weren\u2019t even more than five minutes and just provided a demo to follow. When I then had to create my own app from scratch, it took me less than 30 minutes to get it up and running.<\/p>\n<p>The app I created is relatively simple \u2014 a spreadsheet analyzer. It lets me upload spreadsheets of my article performance, visualizes the data, and uses AI to identify trends and potential new ideas. It even adapts to the different spreadsheet data available. For example, it provides views and filters for the important metrics for different sites. For one site, that may be pageviews. For another site, that may be time spent on the article.<\/p>\n<p>I had the app up and running within a few prompts. I knew that vibe coding made apps much easier to create, but I didn\u2019t realize just how effective it was.<\/p>\n<p><h2>2.
