As a developer of more than 15 years, it was a bit of a struggle when AI came in and wanted to change the traditional ways of building products. The results weren't very convincing initially.
But as things progressed, the code quality quickly improved. It allowed me to try out a "pure vibe coding" approach for a few small projects. There were some very frustrating moments, to say the least, but I got them working and learned a lot along the way.
That's when the idea of building a Vibe Coding Starter Kit appeared.
I built a native desktop app that helps you throughout the whole process:
The Generation: An interactive wizard lets you set project details, pick colors, fonts, and integrations (Supabase, Stripe, etc.) to get a project ready to go.
The Setup: It guides you through installing dependencies, pushing to GitHub, and - crucially - "teaching" Cursor about the project, coding guidelines, and security.
The Build: Scaffolding is just the start. The project comes with specific Cursor commands to help you actually build the product, even if you are not a technical person.
The Planning: I included a Project Planner command that interviews you about the software you want to build, integrates with Figma/Google Stitch, and creates a step-by-step plan for the AI.
My main goal was to remove the repetitiveness when creating new projects and allow non-coders to build their own businesses.
The Demo: I used the kit to build the landing page for the project itself. I recorded the process (edited down to ~33 minutes) to show how it works from start to finish.
