Vibe coding on valentines day - a straightforward tech stack gets you far
February 2026
I’ve been playing with Loveable today. It’s impressive how the barrier to entry for proof of concepts and even small MVPs has got so low. Some SaaS tools might have a not-so-bright feature now that everyone can generate a simple to-do list just for themselves.
Here are some of the ones I’ve played around with:
- SPC Rocks - A game I played in 2011 and wanted to clone for ages
- Boxes - Daily habit tracker with a cute box-filling mechanic and an ominous "memento mori" tab to remind you that time is limited
- Nuggets - Spaced repetition flashcards with local storage
- Music - Uses an LLM to generate MIDI files in a few styles
- Roguelike - Not roguelike at all, but you can generate 2d dungeons and walk around in them
- Multiplayer - a multiplayer game matching service
What impressed me is how fully vertically integrated it is: Supabase and even Cloudflare - moving to your own domain was literally one Oauth click away. Databases, sending emails and even payment processing is seemingly a prompt away.
My own little spin was exporting the generated code to my own GitHub and enabling GitHub Pages. A simple prompt to change the Vite config to generate static files, and boom, it works well with my blog setup. Switching to Cursor or Copilot also seems cheaper and works well.
Next up, I plan on connecting some of the self-contained apps to each other. Multiplayer plus Space rocks? Nuggets and Boxes?
