Back

I wanted to share a small but important win, especially for other non-tech founders here. Recently, I attended a founders meetup. During one of the discussions, people were talking about vibe coding and how building products is no longer limited to people who can write code. The idea that anyone can go from idea to product really stuck with me. I am a non-tech guy. I have always wanted to build a product, but the “I can’t code” barrier stopped me every time. This meetup changed something for me. I decided that once I got back from this trip, I would finally build something, even if it was small. After coming back, I started exploring different vibe-coding tools. I tried Base44, Lovable, Replit, Bolt, Rocket, and a few others. After experimenting with all of them, Base44 felt the most intuitive and beginner-friendly for me, so I chose that. Around the same time, I randomly saw a domain called “Just Fucking Use Open Source.” That triggered an idea around startup validation. It was not meant to be a serious business at first. More like a fun experiment to see if I could actually build something. I booked a domain called JustFuckingValidateYourStartupIdea.com. Before building, I validated the concept using ChatGPT. The feedback was brutally honest, which I genuinely liked. It felt practical and useful, not motivational fluff. That convinced me to turn this into a small product, even if only as a learning exercise. I built the entire app using Base44. End to end. Then I built a simple landing page and made it live on 21st December. No coding background. No prior experience. Within a couple of hours of launching, people started signing up. In the first 24 hours, around 50 users signed up, shared their email addresses, and started validating their ideas. In about five days, it crossed 150 users. People also started giving open feedback on Twitter, and most of it was positive. That is when it clicked that this might actually be useful. So yesterday, I decided to launch a Lifetime Deal. And yesterday itself, I landed my first paying customer. The biggest takeaway for me: vibe coding is real. Coding is no longer a hard gate. As a non-tech person with zero coding knowledge, I was able to build and ship a complete app. Sharing this for anyone who thinks they are “not technical enough.” If I can do it, you probably can too. All the best, everyone.
