The VibeCoder Starter Kit
A structured starting point for building a local-first app in 72 hours. Not a course. Not a template. A kit you actually use.
What "shipped locally" means
At the end of 72 hours, you have an app running on localhost:3000 (or similar) that you could demo to someone on the same WiFi network. It reads and writes real data. It does the one thing it's supposed to do. You built it. That's what shipped means here.
What you get
Setup
- Pre-configured dev environment (`.env.example`, `Makefile`, `README`)
- Python + Node dual-stack boilerplate
- SQLite schema templates for common patterns
- Docker Compose for local multi-service setups
Day-by-Day Checklists
- Day 1: Environment + data model + first working route
- Day 2: UI scaffold + core feature loop
- Day 3: Polish, screenshots, share locally
Code Templates
- CRUD API starter (FastAPI or Express)
- Simple auth pattern (session tokens, no OAuth complexity)
- Frontend scaffold (vanilla JS or minimal React)
- LAN server share script
Reference Docs
- Decision log template (what to decide, when)
- Artifact capture guide (how to screenshot properly)
- Deployment checklist (local → shareable)
Requirements
You need a computer (Mac, Linux, or WSL2 on Windows), a terminal you're not afraid of, and one of:
No cloud accounts required. No credit card for infrastructure. Just your machine.
Who it's for
- You've been "learning to code" for a while and want to finally ship something
- You have an idea you want to prove to yourself before spending money
- You work better with a clear structure and defined days
- You want something running locally before touching cloud infrastructure
- You're a developer who wants a clean starting point without boilerplate decisions
Not for
- People looking for a course with video lectures
- Anyone expecting hand-holding or live support
- Production-ready SaaS templates (this is local-first prototyping)
