Everything a beginner needs.
Nothing they don't.

We stripped away everything intimidating about coding tools and kept what matters: a place to write, run, learn, and ship — all from your browser.

AI Assistant
You
why does my for loop keep going forever??
AI
Great question! Your loop runs forever because the condition i > 0 is always true — i is growing, not shrinking. Try changing it to i < array.length. Want me to explain why that works?
You
yes please!
AI
Sure! Think of it like counting chairs at a table — you stop when you run out of chairs, not when the number gets big...
AI That Teaches

An assistant that actually explains things

Most AI tools just fix your code. Ours explains *why* it was broken, in plain English, using analogies that make sense to beginners. Because copying a fix you don't understand is just delaying the problem.

  • Line-by-line explanations on demand
  • Concept breakdowns with real-world analogies
  • Hints before full answers — so you still learn
  • Ask follow-up questions naturally, like a chat

Absolutely. Our Team plan was built with schools and bootcamps in mind. Reach out and we'll set you up with a custom demo.

Built from the feeling
of being lost.

This isn't a startup idea on a whiteboard. It came from a real moment of overwhelm — and the question: "why isn't there something better?"

A
Ayo
Founder & Builder, VibeCode
Developer. Former beginner. Still learning. Building the platform I wish existed when I started.
The beginning

I remember the exact feeling.

It was late. I had three browser tabs open, a half-finished YouTube tutorial paused on my screen, and I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. Everyone seemed to assume I already understood things I'd never been taught. The tools expected me to know what a "terminal" was before I could even say hello world.

I got overwhelmed. Closed the laptop. Convinced myself coding just "wasn't for me."

"I figured — wouldn't it just be easier to have a platform that does all of this for me? That meets you where you are, not where it thinks you should be."
The realisation

I came back. And I made it through.

Eventually I did learn. I put in the hours, figured out the confusing bits, googled my way through a hundred error messages. And I became a developer. But the whole time I kept thinking: this shouldn't be this hard for people who are just starting out.

There are incredible AI tools now. There are platforms for learning. But they all feel like they were designed by developers, for developers. The assumed knowledge is still there. The friction is still there. The feeling of being lost — still there.

Why VibeCode

This is the platform I needed.

VibeCode isn't about building yet another coding tool. It's about removing the barrier of entry entirely. A place where a complete beginner can open their laptop, start building something real, and never feel like they walked into the wrong room.

No setup. No assumed knowledge. An AI that explains things like a patient friend, not a Stack Overflow answer. A community where asking "what even is a function?" is welcomed, not mocked. Real projects, real skills, real confidence.

If you ever felt that feeling — of wanting to learn but not knowing where the door even is — this was built for you.

What I believe

Coding isn't hard. The entry point is.

I genuinely believe that almost anyone can learn to code — and that the reason most people give up isn't intelligence, it's the tools. When tools assume you already know things, they filter people out. VibeCode is designed to filter nobody out.

I'm building this in public, learning as I go, and I want to hear from you. If you have a story like mine — or a different one — let's talk.

Our values aren't a slide deck.
They're decisions.

01
Beginners first, always.
Every decision — every UI choice, every AI prompt, every piece of copy — is filtered through one question: would this confuse someone who's never coded before?
02
Explain, don't just solve.
Giving someone an answer they don't understand isn't helping them — it's delaying the problem. We're obsessed with making sure you actually learn, not just move forward.
03
No shame, no gatekeeping.
There are no dumb questions here. The coding world has an intimidation problem. We don't. Ask anything, at any level, and you'll be met with patience.
04
Real skills, not certificates.
We care about you being able to build real things, not just completing courses. Every lesson leads to something you can show someone.
05
Build in public.
We share our roadmap, our mistakes, and our progress openly. We're building this alongside our community, not behind closed doors.
06
Accessible to everyone.
Geography and background shouldn't determine who gets to learn tech. Our free tier is generous by design, and student discounts exist because we mean it.

Where we are. Where we're going.
