Spent a good month going back and forth to build an app with AI. It took quite a few tweaks to make something that I felt was polished enough to launch. It is definitely possible, the issue is the halucinating and the creation of a bunch of hard to trace bugs. Otherwise it is completely possible to vibe code a proper app.

I had a fairly complex app built in 2025 and spent a lot of time comparing options. I ended up working with Avancera, and overall it was a solid experience. They were clear about the process and costs, and communication was consistent throughout. Just sharing in case it helps someone weighing different development companies.

If you are not a dev how can you evaluate devs, whom you hire? How to estimate how much to invest in devs for how long? Or just to hire a senior and delegate this task to him?

@sipungora

Hi Steven, I've explored your channel recently and it gives so much value, thank you for that.
I would like to ask you about MVPs, is it possible to make money while testing an app idea for the ones who doesn't have enough budget to make a full app?

Who built the website for your apps (someone from Upwork) and what web hosting company do you use and why?

@filipgrad3560

bro dropping some sauce again. Ive literally been following you since January and im already in the app development phase. I've copied your strategy step by step. Couple of things to add tho, developers will ask you for a place to store your database so AWS is also required. OpenAI API if youre using some sort of ChatGPT integration and a webscrapper tool (if youre creating your own database that ChatGPT will pull from) I'm 2-3 months away from launch and im already warming up my tiktok and instagram channels. Thank you for everything youve shared bro! cheers, James (all the way from New Zealand)

Question, when hiring someone off of upwork, what prevents them from stealing your app?

If I have created nearly the exact app I want on Claude, is that something I post into upwork so they can see? Or just post a video of it? Regardless, how does that protect my app from being stolen.

Thanks! I subscribed last week. Got introduced to vibe coding a month ago ha

I dont understand how this channel has 40k subscribers only. Every video is a gold mine. I guess not a lot of people want to build mobile apps
