Vibe Coding Developer Marketplace

For: Non-developers who hit limitations with AI-generated code

Buildability

The Problem

Non-developers use AI tools like ChatGPT to build software (vibe coding), but eventually hit technical limitations they can't solve. They have viable business ideas but unviable codebases.

The Solution

A marketplace connecting vibe coders with experienced developers who can diagnose problems, fix issues, set up testing, and help navigate technical corners for hourly fees.

Why Now?

AI coding tools are enabling more non-developers to build software, creating a growing population who will inevitably need technical rescue services.
