🧃 “If you're new to LinkedIn and want AI to help create content that sounds like you: Record a 15-minute voice memo about your background, experience, and perspective. Then create a swipe file of 5-10 creators you admire—save their posts that resonate with you. Feed both into AI as your personal writing foundation. The voice memo teaches AI your authentic voice and story,” - Sam Hindman, Professional LinkedIn Ghostwriter

Two weeks ago, I wrote about vibe coding and told you to pick an idea and open a tool. I was hoping a few of you would try it.
I was floored by the responses, so much so that I started documenting all the amazing projects our members were working on!
Highlighting a few below:
Megha built Wedfill — an app that autofills wedding planning forms, so you don’t need to re-write your love story every time you reach out to a new vendor. And she's already working on an Aisle Planner integration and thinking through event planner power user flows.
Shivani built No Free Work — a tool for freelancers to help with the awkwardness of saying “no” to unpaid work.
Diana built a Subscription Tracker — for when you realize you're paying for 14 things you forgot you signed up for #guilty
Nicole built Startup Pulse in Seattle — tracking the startup scene in her city and consolidating all the amazing events taking place there.
Sam built Find Your Pinterest Inspo on Depop — bridging the gap between "I love this aesthetic" and "where do I actually buy it." Brilliant.
Tess built My ROX World —The ultimate marketplace for HYROX athletes to find videographers and training partners for race day.
Jenny built a Rate Calculator for Freelancers in Germany — solving a hyper-specific problem for her exact situation.
Kesi built The Reading Oracle — a book recommending page where put in 3 books you love and it gives you two recommendations. One that's similar, one that's surprising
Kate built A Public Directory of AI Agent Souls — very early, only 1 soul. Curious to see what happens.
Liz built a Personal Website — a beautiful site for her career coaching services.
Bethany built Storm Link — a very MVP mini-app to help neighbors coordinate with each other for blizzard support:
Sana built Union — an emotional regulation app for secure love.
April built Get Tasked — the voice note of project management, accepting beta in March!
Beatriz built getsavv — a tool that helps people save all the cool things people are building to help them learn and do it themselves.
Jeanette built Vesta — a tool for sport coaches to prep better sessions in minutes and adapt them on the fly when reality hits.
Tanya built a Vibesfolio — a space for vibe-builders and AI learners to capture and save ideas/prompts/other resources that would help you build your products and learn AI better.
🧃 Why This Matters More Than Any Tool Recommendation I Could Give You
Every single one of these apps exists because someone in our community thought "I wish this existed, and then realized they could just... make it. With AI. Without a CS degree. Without hiring a developer. Without spending $10K.
If you're reading this list and thinking "okay but HOW" — here's the quick breakdown:
Lovable is still my #1 rec for your first build. Describe what you want in plain English, get a working app. Free plan gives you 5 credits a day. Several of these projects started here.
v0 by Vercel is what you use when you want your output to look scarily professional right away. If you came to our Galentine's Vibe Coding Night, you already know.
Claude is great for testing an idea before committing to a full build. Ask it to create an interactive prototype right inside your conversation and iterate from there.
Base44 — Think of it as Lovable's more business-y cousin. It handles your database, user logins, and hosting automatically. This is what you reach for when you need your app to actually DO things as a real product, not just look good. Free plan gives you 5 messages a day to experiment.
NotebookLM (by Google) — Not a vibe coding tool, but a sleeper hit in our community. Upload any document — PDFs, Google Docs, articles — and have an AI conversation WITH your own content. This is a great place to get started with AI in a safe environment that doesn’t steal any of your data!
🦋 Here's what I want you to do this week:
If you haven't built anything yet: Go look at the list above. Find the project that sounds closest to something you would want. Open Lovable and try to build it! Don’t get hung up on the look and feel, but focus on the outcome and functionality. And have fun with it!
If you already built something: Share it in Slack! I want to feature you in a future newsletter. Drop it in #show-and-tell-ai.
If you're one of the builders above: You are incredible and I'm so proud of this community. Keep going.
What’s Hot on the Internet
Vibe coding just hit mainstream — There are now over a dozen serious AI coding platforms, and the tools are getting better so fast that what felt impossible 6 months ago is now a weekend project. (link)
AI agents are the next wave — If 2025 was the year of chatbots, 2026 is the year of agents — AI that doesn't just answer your questions but actually does things for you. (link)
The "non-technical founder" era is real — Non-technical founders are using tools like Lovable and Base44 to validate business ideas in days instead of months. Lovable is reportedly on track toward $200M+ ARR, and Wix acquired Base44 for $80M — proof that the market for "describe your app and we'll build it" is massive and growing. (link)
If you are interested in joining AI Snack Club and want to try out an event, we invite you to sign up for one community expert session to give us a try!
Quick heads up: Guests are welcome to attend one AI Snack Club event as a non-member. If you'd like to keep joining us, please grab a membership rather than signing up for future events as a guest.
