Justin R. Lester explains vibe coding: using ChatGPT and Replit to generate app code from plain-English prompts instead of writing syntax. He walks through building a mood-tracking app with Firebase and invites viewers to suggest and vote on ideas for future collaborative builds.

What is Vibe coding? Have you heard about vibe coding? It's not just coding like, somebody's watching me. It's my anxiety. Anxiety. No, it's not vibe coding. With a vibe, it's a whole movement in how we build tech. In essence, you don't need to know semicolons and brackets any longer. You can just vibe with your words. It's taking a large language model like ChatGPT and writing code from your words. You don't need every semicolon, you don't need every bracket. You just tell AI what you want and it builds the app for you. Like, show me a quote and boom, the code gets written for you. Where you don't have to code line by line, you're prompting and you're guiding and you're editing. And here's how it works. You take plain English description of the app or feature that you want to build and use a tool like Replit or Cursor or Bolt to generate the actual code. And your job shifts from testing to tweaking and designing. It's pretty cool. So over the next couple of days, I'm going to build an app. We're going to build a mood following app. But here's what I want you to do. If there's an app that you want to build, comment it below. And what we want to do, whatever gets liked the most on Instagram and whatever gets liked the most on TikTok and whatever gets liked the most on Facebook. All of my platforms, because make sure you're following me. HatTechBaster. Whatever gets liked the most on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok is the app that we'll build together. So I'm gonna build one, I'm gonna build a mood app and all three apps and then based upon whatever gets liked the most, be sure so comment the app that you want to build. And then on each platform, we'll build an app on the course of the next week. So go ahead, start commenting. What app you want to build, Let me know if there's an app you want to build for Bible study, if there's an app you want to build for sermon study, an app you want to build for your business, a chatbot you want to build, let me know below. And then we're going to use Replit, we're going to use Firebase, and we're going to use Lovable to build a UI and UX that'll be good for us. Build an app Doing so. So let's five code, have some fun so you can see how this works. So go ahead and comment below. Let's have some fun. God bless, y'. All.
