What is vibld?

vibld is an open-source AI app builder that turns a plain description into a working React project. It can sketch three design directions, write a spec for the one you pick, build the code, and check it against that spec. You get readable files you can export, push to GitHub, or publish.

Top Features:

• Directions: preview three distinct visual sketches before paying for a full build.
• Self-checks: generated files are checked against the spec for colors, fonts, and breakpoints.
• Portability: projects use React, TypeScript, Vite, and Tailwind with no proprietary runtime.

Use Cases:

• Business sites: build a clinic or cafe site with hours and directions.
• Landing pages: generate a product page with pricing, FAQ, and contact form.
• Prototypes: turn a small tool or tracker idea into working code.

Who Can Use vibld?

• Developers: get a clean React starting point they can read and extend.
• Freelancers: deliver client sites quickly and hand over code with no lock-in.
• Business owners: launch a simple website or booking page from one written description.

Pricing

• Free ($0): one dollar of monthly model spend and up to three active projects.
• Build ($19 per month): fourteen dollars of monthly model spend, or $190 billed yearly.
• Ship ($49 per month): forty dollars of monthly model spend, or $490 billed yearly.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

• Ownership: exported projects carry no builder packages and run anywhere Vite runs.
• Transparency: the core is Apache-2.0 licensed, so teams can self-host the builder.
• Billing: runs reserve worst-case cost upfront, then charge only actual usage.

Cons:

• Beta: the product is still early, so features may change or break.
• Scope: builds center on React web projects, with no native mobile app output.
• Tiny allowance: one dollar of model spend does not go far on larger builds.
