Ask HN: How vibe coding apps are retaining users?

1•yogini•5h ago
Today, I read the news of Lovable raising $200M and becoming a unicorn!

The team is super talented, all Lovable, Bolt etc are doing really good but I do not understand how they will retain users?

Whenever I have talked to people who vibe coded apps using them, they do it once in a while for the sake of fun and never go back to them. Developers are not using them much, then how will these apps retain users?

devs perspective; imo they're not targeted towards dev, instead they're trying to capture non tech founders who just want to test out a product and/or the group of people shipping fast ( slop ) into the market.
