I vibe coded a $20K/month mobile app in 14 days

Video Overview & Insights

Connor Burd is a 23-year-old founder who has built several apps that make $100K/month. He vibe-coded his latest project in just 14 days, and it’s already at $20K/month. This video breaks down his repeatable framework for revenue-first apps, why he only uses Facebook ads to grow, and the exact vibe coding process that lets him build in 2 weeks what used to take him 6-8 months.

Question: who owns the app, or virtual business? Doesn't AI platforms claim ownership on anything created through them? Does it mean they own your business?

I have a validated by market idea for a web app - there is already on existing competitor, that I review and make my own app differently but taking into account his features, and one app I build with a validated market. I am after stroke, so now can work 2-3 hours a day. Maybe someone can advice please should I stick to both ideas and keep developing or money one? The first one if for b2b for web platform, I created a fully thorough prompt for Claude and going to vibe code it’s mvp to show commmunity, another one is a single page app, already built, it fixing minor issues and publishing to App Store. How should I proceed with these 2 apps or give up one of them until one of them is flying?

What does it mean for “a great onboarding” and “onboarding doing all the work”? Pretty generic. The onboarding needs to tie to the actual features, right? How can asking the user a bunch of questions and selling them further be more important than the app features?

Claims not to have a technical background but throws around words like json and data structures

Great to see your growth—the value you provide is undeniable.

@jeffhammerforteimpact

@

These comments hurt my head lol. All of this information was solid

@Arrowheadent

@

Connor’s workflow is solid—especially structuring data before prompting. One thing I’ve noticed working with AI-heavy builds is how fast things break under edge cases when validation isn’t tight.

vibe coding is an amazing tool that lets you cut out expensive good for nothing developers with useless CS degrees.

@Subcide

Dude he’s interviewing is obviously AI! 😅

@ryanedwards8549

@

I am guessing he is using react native for the app.

@jordankendall86

@

This guy downloads a bunch of apps, steals a bunch of ideas, uses AI to create an app of his liking using other people’s ideas.

@QuestionMartin

@

I look at the app in the google app store and it has multiple 1-2 star reviews recently. OOF.

Bro what is this bullshit

@WotanSkyFather

@

I like Connor! He makes it sound so easy!

@driversteve9345

@

I’ve tried just about every strategy out there, read the books, bought the courses, sat through the webinars, and I’m still getting smoked by this market. I’m not chasing some get rich quick dream, I just want to stop losing and learn how to properly hold coins or stocks without panic selling every dip or getting shaken out too early.

@alanfjesus

Video features headscratching quotes like, and I'm not kidding, those are actually in the video...
"You should spend as much time designing your onboarding as you spend on the functionality of the app"
"You wanna make sure you have some charts and graphs to make your app sound more scientific"
"I honestly just use claude, it does everything for me"
"we have 10 dollars a week, 40 dollars per year subscription pricing"
"I use figma, mixpanel, vercel, expo, revenuecap, github, nextjs, typescript, claude code" moderator response: "That is a pretty simple stack you got there"

*wtf*, save yourself the time, who even likes these videos.
