First Principles of Vibe Coding: Building an MVP App with AI

The latest AI developer tools have revolutionized web application development, making it faster, easier, and more accessible than ever before. This course empowers you to unlock the full potential of these tools while giving you a solid understanding of how they work behind the scenes.

About the Course

In this course, you’ll build a full-stack MVP—in particular an AI-powered trivia application using Next.js and Supabase—from idea to deployment. Each module combines high-level concepts with hands-on, step-by-step guidance across:

  • 💡 Brainstorming & ideation
  • 📄 Writing a PRD & project setup
  • 🛠️ Building the backend (databases & AI API integration)
  • 🎨 Designing the frontend
  • 🚀 Deploying your app to production

Along the way, you’ll develop enduring skills in product thinking, full-stack architecture, AI integration, best AI coding prompting practices, and modern web dev workflows—skills you can apply to any future app or idea, not just this one.
