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 later because they do not know what a migration is. Then they blame the tool.

Learn the words first. Then pick what to build. Then make sure the thing you built cannot be opened by a stranger with a browser.

1. Learn the words

You cannot vibe code well without knowing what the model is talking about. Frontend, backend, API keys, environment variables, database rows. Half an hour of this and you go from retyping "fix it" over and over to reading the error yourself.

Watch it once. Do not take notes. You will hit every one of these terms in your first build and it will click then.

2. Pick something worth building

Building got free. Choosing did not. This one is a teardown of a hundred apps that are making money, and what they share: 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

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

Your app goes live and that is the moment bots start scanning it. Not when you get users. The second it is on the internet.

Watch this one before you ship, not after.

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 is thirty minutes and it saves you the forty-minute stall in the middle of your first build.
