The three videos that make vibe coding a mobile app easy

Learn the words, pick something worth building, then make sure a stranger with a browser cannot open your database. Three links, in the order you should watch them.

Links first, in the order you should watch them. Notes underneath.

Every word the AI is going to say to you, explained in half an hour.

What the apps that make money have in common.

The holes in your app, before someone else finds them.

Why this order

Most people start at video two. They see an app idea that prints money, open Claude Code, and get stuck forty minutes in because they don't know what a migration is. Then they blame the tool.

Learn the words first. Then pick what to build. Then make sure a stranger with a browser can't open the thing you built.

1. Learn the words

You can't vibe code well if you don't know what the model is talking about. Frontend, backend, API keys, environment variables, database rows. Half an hour of this and you go from typing "fix it" over and over to reading the error yourself.

Watch it once and don't take notes. You'll hit every one of these terms in your first build and that's when it clicks.

2. Pick something worth building

Building got free. Choosing what to build didn't. This video is a teardown of a hundred apps that are making money and what they have in common: how they generate content, how they scale with paid, how they hold onto users long enough to be worth anything.

Building the wrong app costs you three months whether it took a weekend or a year.

3. Do not get wrecked

Nobody puts this part in the tutorial. Claude Code plus Supabase or Firebase will happily ship you an app with the database wide open, your keys sitting in client code, and no rate limit on anything that costs you money.

Bots start scanning your app the second it's on the internet. They don't wait for you to get users.

Watch this one before you ship.

What to do next

Three videos, one weekend. Then run an audit on your own app before anyone else does. The five prompts I run on my own build before it ships are in the Vault.

Start with video one even if you think you already know the words. It's thirty minutes and it saves you the forty minute stall in the middle of your first build.
