I've got a fun challenge for the community. Pitch me a small AI app, automation, Chrome extension, desktop app, or business tool you've always wished existed. I have more project ideas than I'll probably ever finish 😅, but I thought it'd be fun to build something inspired by this community instead. I'll pick one that stands out, build it publicly, and document the entire journey from idea → planning → vibe coding → finished MVP. I'll share the prompts, roadblocks, lessons learned, and the final result so everyone can follow along and hopefully learn something they can apply to their own projects. Vote for your favorite project idea(s) by simply 👍 liking the comment(s) you want to see built. I'll use the community votes (along with what I think would make a great project) when choosing what to build. Who's got an idea? 👇

The idea was simple: Build a Video Wall Builder that lets you drag-and-drop multiple videos into customizable layouts (2×2, 3×3, 4×4, etc.), play them independently, and even expand a single video inside the app without taking over the entire monitor. Before writing a single line of code, I spent time with ChatGPT refining the idea into a detailed mvp_prd.md, followed by a plan.md and an architecture.md. That upfront planning gave the AI a clear roadmap instead of just a vague prompt. Then I handed everything to Claude Fable 5 (High).. It one-shotted the project to about 75% of the way there. 🤯 The result was a working Electron + React desktop app featuring: ✅ Support for Video, URL, OBS & Camera ✅ Dynamic 1×1, 2×2, 2×3, 3×3, 4×4 & custom XxX layouts ✅ Drag-and-drop video loading ✅ Independent playback controls for every tile ✅ Container-scoped full-screen (expand a tile without taking over the monitor) ✅ Windowed, maximized, and borderless modes ✅ A polished UI that already feels like a real desktop application I didn't stop after the initial build. I continued refining the architecture, playback engine strategy, workspaces, scenes, custom layouts, plugin-oriented design, and long-term roadmap. Each iteration made the next coding session even more effective. One thing that really surprised me was how far I was able to push Claude Fable 5 (High) on the $20/month Claude Pro plan. Although the project spanned three 5-hour usage windows because of the Pro plan's session limits, the actual development only took about 4 hours and 7 minutes of active coding time. The first usage window was exhausted in 1 hour 21 minutes, the second in 54 minutes, and the third in 1 hour 52 minutes. We completed the project in just two conversation contexts, staying well under Claude's available context window. By the end of those sessions, the app had grown from an idea into a polished MVP with dynamic layouts, drag-and-drop media loading, workspaces, scenes, source management, persistent settings, an FFmpeg-backed playback strategy, Windows packaging, and a documented long-term architecture.

I'm Alex. I built this community for one kind of person: someone who wants to build apps with AI, without learning to code. If that's you — you're home. Everything here runs on one idea: you don't need to code, you just need a method. No more vibe-coding chaos, broken apps, or tabs full of errors you can't read. Just a method that works. Do these 3 things today (takes ~10 minutes): 1. ✅ Go through the [Start Here] classroom → it's 5 quick lessons and it points you to exactly the right course for where you are. 2. ✅ Start your first course → Foundations if you're new, Vibe Code Rehab if you're stuck. (The Start Here classroom tells you which.) 3. ✅ Introduce yourself 👇 → drop a comment on the pinned Introductions post. It's the #1 thing that helps people actually stick with it — and I read every one. A few things worth knowing: - 📅 We run a free live Coffee Break every week — bring whatever you're stuck on. - 🏆 Every like you get earns points → points level you up → bonus stuff unlocks. So post, comment, help people. The more you give, the more you get. That's it. Glad you're here. Now go build something. 🚀 — Alex
