There's a lot of hype surrounding "vibe coding". You've probably seen the AI influencers making claims like how you can build SaaS apps in 15 minut...

Thank you for the write up! I'm currently at the point where I experienced first hand the limitations beyond the hype and your guide gives a good starting point.
I haven't watched your video yet and I wonder if you mention anything about costs. How much did it cost to create the app from scratch with your approach?
I pay the $20/month flat fee for Cursor. Works great!
I understand. I thought that cursor users had to pay extra for api usage. Wasn't it your case for the use of Gemini 2.5?
Note: I am on the go and I can't review your article, but I recall you mentioning you've been using Gemini 2.5. I hope I'm not wrong.
if you pay the flat fee you dont have to pay extra for using Gemini 2.5 pro. There are other models that cost extra per request though, just not this one :)
Go Vinny! Go Vinny!

I'd love to see more visualizations on your way of thinking, it sounds like you went deep and got some really nice insights there! Also, what percentage of the code was written by you vs. AI?
I barely touched a line of code! So 98% ai written for sure. I’d suggest to do a code review after to gauge the quality.
Great writeup, and thanks for the video. For vibe coding, at least to me, it is better to see how people do it, over read about it.
That was the idea behind it. Glad you find it useful. :)
This is exactly what I was hoping for. A full, detailed, step-by-step guide on how to build a medium-sized SaaS app with AI. All the quirks and errors included, together with deploying the app. Thanks, Vinny!
Thanks. Hope it’s useful!
I registered to this platform because of your article. This is a really well done workflow that I am gonna put to use in my own projects.
Awesome! Glad you found it useful.
Thank you for the write up I really appreciate the details and you sharing your process. It will definitely help me a a project I am building. Great work !!!
thanks. glad it could help :)
Nice dive!
This is great, I've been kicking these ideas around with GPT after Sam's Sunday letter on Lego coding but you are definitely a few steps ahead. I'm also working on self hosting the assistant for more control and cost efficiency when being scaled to a team.
Nice. Good luck! :)
Great post, thanks! 🚀
You suggest to document continuously - how exactly? Comments in the code? More cursor rules? PRDs?
I usually have it generate Documentation for each phase of the plan after I've implemented it. It gets more beneficial as the project grows in size and complexity, because then you can pass previous examples to it as reference so it stays consistent. Of course, Wasp helps a lot here in that it takes care of a lot of boilerplate code for the LLM.
Thanks! Question is more about where exactly you store those docs?
Hey man! Love the article and the video, as well as the github repo! I have spent a few days working on a project, but seem to have a dead end. Now Cursor insists that there is a but in wasp 0.16.3 and that I need to download la ter version.. but it does not exist.
How can I help you to identify the error and update wasp?
Here is what Cursor told me after I had deleted the .wasp and node_module directories and compiled the project again, with the same error, which was:
[ Wasp ] src/features/assignments/pages/CreateTruckPage.tsx(326,22): error TS2322: Type 'string' is not assignable to type '"/sign-up" | "/login" | "/auth/verify-email/:token" | "/request-password-reset" | "/auth/reset-password/:token" | "/" | "/chats" | "/tasks" | "/apps" | "/users" | "/settings/*" | ... 11 more ... | "/assignment/:assignmentId/create-truck/:truckType"'.
❌ --- [Error] Your wasp project failed to compile: -------------------------------
Can you please ask the question in our discord?! Thanks.
You should remove the God's image .it is not appropriately used . You are hurting hindu sentiments
Yes , I was about to comment the same.
This is very inappropriate
Apologies, we changed the cover as soon as we realized the mistake!
Great one vinny
Thanks :)

A "Structured Worfklow"? Ironic, perhaps?
That said, thanks for the article.
maybe a little
This is hard asf.
Tuff!
I code a full app using DeepSeek , all I need to do is copy and paste it into python
that can work too to a certain extent.
Nice! I will use Laravel, React, Inertia stacks.
It will probably work for that stack as well since it's a batteries-included framework like Wasp is for javascript (react, nodejs, prisma). It's just that we unfortunately don't have a template and predefined rules for laravel.
