✨ What I’ve been building (and what I learned along the way)

I wanted to share a behind-the-scenes look at a tool I’ve been vibe-coding since December, not because it’s “perfect”, but because the process taught me a lot.

And big shout out to

@El Wong

for her amazing vibe coding workshop which started me on this journey!

The problem I was solving:

As a founder and AI educator (and a mum who can’t jump on planes), I needed a better way to manage global visibility opportunities — speaking, workshops, funding, podcasts, PR — without relying on scattered spreadsheets, inboxes, or “I’ll come back to this later”.

So I built The Prestige Opportunity Engine --> coming to you soon (Just have some technical issues on the public facing app but it is working) 👉 https://visibilityengine.sheisai.ai

What you’re seeing in the screenshots:

You’ll notice two different UI styles — and that’s intentional.

🌙 The dark UI (earlier version)

This was the first front end:

Very brand-forward
Marketing-style landing experience
Focused on the concept: prestige, global reach, scoring, AI matching

It helped me validate the idea.

☀️ The light UI (current version)

This is the working product:

Authenticated (login required)
Secure database
Daily dashboard
Real data
Built for use, not just aesthetics

What it does now:

Shows 46 real opportunities already in the system
Ranks a Daily Top 10 by prestige, revenue, and fit
Lets me pitch as Amanda Jeffs or SHE IS AI
Generates AI-assisted pitches, bios, and talking points
Tracks everything in a simple opportunity CRM
Flags follow-ups so nothing drops

It’s now a daily workflow manager, not just a concept.

The real (unsexy) lessons from vibe coding

This is the part I think matters most 👇

Vibe coding works but it’s not “set and forget”.

Along the way:

The UI changed three times
A security update suddenly hid all my data
I had to add authentication (hello login screen 👋)
My database had to be updated so I could claim my own 46 opportunities
I had to learn why user_id ownership matters
I connected a subdomain and waited for DNS propagation (still ongoing)

None of this was failure even though I feel like the worst vibe coder in the 1 year history of vibe coding.

But I am learning how real products actually work.

Why I’m sharing this here is not to say “look what I built” but to say:

You can build useful tools without being a developer
You will hit friction (security, data, auth, domains)
That friction is where confidence comes from
Vibe coding is a skill, not a shortcut

This tool already is showing me how it can save me time and mental load and it’s only version 1.

What’s next: For now, I’m using this privately while I get the bumps ironed out and it's tailored to me; but I may open access to women in this community who are building visibility, pitching globally, or navigating thought leadership without a PR team.
