Dionne Nicole's Vibe Coding Diary
Hi! 👋 Consider this my "Release Notes" for all the emotional support "audience of one" apps I build for myself. I'll keep you updated of the behind-the-scenes in real-time in the comments! --- 1️⃣ Resistance App → interruption + resistance visibility (Free, $19/yr, $50 lifetime) - Designed for one purpose and one purpose only. To increase my lucky surface by doing what I've already *decided* would be life-changing but was still sitting on. It started as an Excel sheet but I wanted it to actually count how long an idea had been sitting there or how many "non-reps" I had done (when the goal was to do X reps of something before I quit). - Why? My nervous system likes to keep me safe, but it was more important for me to kick resistance IN THE FACE. Once I shared it with others, they wanted to use it too, and my journey to creating an app that would cost me $0 to run with pure profit began! --- 2️⃣ Coming Up Celebration App → memory + joy visibility (Just for me!) - This helps to document the tiny moments that remind my depressive brain that the world is always conspiring for my good on a daily basis! The phrase is taken from the movie, "Everything is coming up roses!" - I wanted to create the anti-social media feed. One where *everything* counts from finding $5 dollars to dancing with a stranger at Walmart. If it brought me joy, it's added. Period. I wanted a performance-free space, so I created it for myself. I wanted to track 1K moments. I've already logged 70+ and counting since early April 2026! --- 3️⃣ Money Loves Us App → money visibility (Just for me!) - I want to run a solo business without employees or VAs, etc., because that's what I want! And since money doesn't arrive every two weeks, I needed a way to see the *exact* number I needed to fund my life so when "windfalls" would come, I could see my runway in real time and plan ahead by reverse engineering my money. I wanted it to work an *exact* way so I was able to build *exactly* that.
