2-Hour Vibe Coding Session

Session Timeline

Minutes 0-15

Introductions & Problem Discovery

Quick intros and energy check
You pitch your problem/idea (what frustrates you? what needs to exist?)
I ask clarifying questions to understand the core pain point
We identify who this is for and what success looks like

✓ Output: A clear problem statement we both believe in

Minutes 15-30

Solution Shaping & PRD Drafting

Brainstorm the simplest solution that could work
Define 3-5 core features (we're ruthless about scope)
Draft a mini Product Requirements Document using Claude or ChatGPT
Sketch the user flow: what happens when someone opens this?

✓ Output: A tight PRD that guides our build

Minutes 30-45

PRD Refinement & Technical Planning

Iterate on the PRD based on feasibility and impact
Remove nice-to-haves, double down on must-haves
Decide on key interactions and data structure
Set up our build environment (Lovable.dev + GitHub repo)

✓ Output: Final PRD and a GitHub repo ready to receive code

Minutes 45-60

Build Sprint 1 - Foundation

Spin up the project in Lovable (React + deployment pipeline)
Build the landing/main view
Implement basic layout and navigation
Get something visible on screen

✓ Output: A deployed URL with your app's skeleton

Minutes 60-75

Build Sprint 2 - Core Feature

Implement the #1 most important feature
Add interactivity and basic state management
Quick visual polish (it should feel real, not wireframe-y)

✓ Output: The main feature working end-to-end

Minutes 75-90

Build Sprint 3 - Essential Features

Add 1-2 supporting features from the PRD
Implement any critical data persistence (localStorage or simple backend)
Handle edge cases and basic error states

✓ Output: A prototype that feels complete enough to demo

Minutes 90-105

Polish & Deploy

Visual refinement (colors, spacing, responsive design)
Add helpful microcopy and instructions
Test the critical user path together
Ensure deployment is live and stable

✓ Output: A polished, publicly accessible prototype

Minutes 105-120

Demo, Debrief & Next Steps

You test the live prototype, I watch and take notes
We discuss what worked and what surprised us
I outline what you'd need to build next for a production version
We talk through feedback collection and iteration strategies

✓ Output: A working prototype + a roadmap for what comes next

Why Lovable.dev?

For this session, we'll use Lovable.dev as our primary building tool because:

🔗 GitHub Integration

Every change is committed, so you own the code

⚡ Instant Deployment

See your app live on the web in seconds

🤖 AI-Assisted Development

Speeds up the repetitive stuff

⚛️ Real React Code

Not a no-code toy—this is production-ready architecture

Important: This Is a Prototype

Let's be clear: this is not a finished product. In 2 hours, we're proving the idea works and creating something you can show to users, investors, or teammates.

What happens next is up to you:

Collect feedback from real users
Iterate on features based on what you learn
Add authentication, databases, payments, or integrations
Refine the design and UX
Scale the infrastructure

Think of this session as lighting the fire. You'll leave with something real, something you can build on—but the journey from prototype to product is where the real work (and magic) happens.
