Built this while my newborn slept. On a hospital couch. On my phone.
True story. In March, my son came two weeks early in the middle of the night.
Sleepless after 48 hours and finally resting on a hospital room couch (wife and son getting their z's) I pulled out my phone and started trying tools like lovable and v0 from my phone, to shape out a new idea that'd been rattling around. Shocked, code was being written.
An important a-ha happened there:
I began thinking about where this brave new world of Vibe Coding was taking us. I have an actual engineering background, sure, but Vibe Coding is undeniably nice. Paradigm shifting, even. Ephemeral ('quick, brief') idea testing is getting easy, everybody can (if they want to) start making stuff, my notepad of stale 'one-day' ideas was getting tackled and shaped.
So what do we need in this new world? What old ways don't really make sense?
Will people buy domain names for all of their vibe code projects?
Will they get social handles?
Proper GTM drum-up and big splashy launches?
It just doesn't seem likely, does it?
Stuff is getting more easy, quick, fun. And the bugs will be worked out.
So I shifted my attention to Mids.ai.
I've owned this domain for a minute now and had a few ideas for it. But this new idea of shaping a place for Vibe Code to launch became my focus for the past month.
Here's the current focus / feature-set of Mids:
Instant landing pages (literally seconds)
Optional AI help to generate your project blurbs
Builder profiles (like a Linktree for your builds)
Engagement tools: Likes, follows, CTAs, email capture… adding polls soon
Clean design, simple layouts — no heavy theming (yet)
Early community: Discord is live, monthly Zooms in the works
Promo plans / (support for launching): Dedicated TikTok + other channels to help people share what they’re building
Free to use — marketplace features coming later for monetization
Total build effort: Took about 5 weeks all-in and lots of cloud credits since I tried to lean into 'vibe coding' to build it too. Not 100% that, but lots.
Pro tip: Add /0 to the end of any project’s link to remove the wrapper and make it ultra-shareable as a URL. Usually you can toss up a ready, email-capture landing page in less than 60 seconds.
It's just the start of Mids and I'm sure there are many things to work out (bugs) -- beyond my ideas for improvement features. I'd love your look at what we're doing here, involvement, etc. Early days.
