# I launched Vibecode It Yourself

**[Flavio Copes](https://daily.dev/sources/flaviocopes)** · 9 min read · 2 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Flavio Copes launched Vibecode It Yourself, a site cataloging 33 popular SaaS subscriptions (Notion, Calendly, Linktree, Trello, etc.) with detailed AI coding agent prompts to help developers build focused personal replacements. The core idea is not to clone entire products but to identify the narrow slice of functionality you actually use and build only that. Each entry includes effort estimates (Tonight/Weekend/Side quest), tech stack suggestions, and a comprehensive build prompt covering user journeys, data models, security, non-goals, and acceptance tests. The site itself is built with Astro, vanilla JS, and hosted on Cloudflare Pages with no backend or account system. The argument is that AI coding agents have shifted the cost-benefit calculation for small internal tools, making it practical to build personal software that fits your exact workflow instead of paying for over-engineered SaaS.

## Questions this post answers

### What is Vibecode It Yourself and how does it work?

Vibecode It Yourself is a free, no-login subscription audit site listing 33 common paid tools like Linktree, Calendly, Notion, and Trello, each paired with a narrower replacement idea sized as tonight, weekend, or side-quest effort. Selecting apps updates a running receipt of potential yearly savings and estimated build time, and each entry includes a detailed build prompt meant to be pasted into a coding agent. It runs entirely client-side with no backend or bank integration.

_Developers weighing which subscriptions to replace with agent-built tools can track ideas like this on daily.dev._

### What should a build prompt for a coding agent include to avoid getting a shallow SaaS clone?

An effective build prompt should define the exact target user, their desired outcome, main user journeys, screens and actions, a minimal feature set, data model and state transitions, authentication and permission boundaries, integrations, security and privacy rules, acceptance scenarios, deployment needs, and explicit non-goals. Omitting non-goals risks the agent producing a generic dashboard rather than a focused, working vertical slice.

_Anyone refining prompts for coding agents can follow practical write-ups like this via daily.dev._
