"It took Rebecca Yu seven days to vibe code her dining app. She was tired of the decision fatigue that comes from people in a group chat not being able to decide where to eat. Armed with determination, Claude, and ChatGPT, Yu decided to just build a dining app from scratch - one that would recommend restaurants to her and her friends based on their shared interests."
""Once vibe-coding apps emerged, I started hearing about people with no tech backgrounds successfully building their own apps," she told TechCrunch. "When I had a week off before school started, I decided it was the perfect time to finally build my application." So, she created the web app Where2Eat to help her and her friends find a place to eat."
"Yu is part of the growing trend of people who, due to rapid advancements in AI technology, can easily build their own apps for personal use. Most are coding web applications, though they are also increasingly vibe coding mobile apps intended to run only on their own personal phones and devices. Some who are already registered as Apple developers are leaving their personal apps in beta on TestFlight."
Rebecca Yu built a web app called Where2Eat in seven days using Claude and ChatGPT to recommend restaurants based on friends' shared interests. A growing number of nontechnical users are using rapid AI tools to build personal web and mobile apps for private use. Many creators call these micro apps, personal apps, or fleeting apps because they are used only by the creator or a small group and only for as long as desired. Examples include a family web gaming app shut down after vacation and personal podcast translation apps left in TestFlight beta by registered Apple developers.
