"What I Learned Vibe Coding Apps as a Non-Coder" (Hackernoon, April 2026)¶
Identified six obstacles: 1. Authentication paradox — dual-auth systems can't be solved out-of-box 2. Code wipe & version control — AI adds features by deleting existing ones 3. Payment gateway struggle — Stripe invite-only in many regions 4. Database/backend choices — manual provider selection is tricky 5. Web-app vs app store — vibe coding produces web-apps, not native apps 6. Notification workflow — still imperfect
Key quote: "AI has immense intelligence, but zero common sense."
