Summary
Sebastian made a habit-tracking app called Habitkit during his first month of launching the app. Sebastian had a fairly good job, but his passion to be creative drove him to start creating his products. Being around some programmers and tech-savvy people, he was able to find his way around as a newbie.
Now the story is completely changed as vibe coding has taken the limits off any creative idea you may conceive. Tools like Windsurf AI, Vercel, Bolt, and Replit have made it possible for non-programmers to build apps, websites, and tools they would never have been able to make without hiring programmers.
There are hundreds of Indie Hackers who have made money from tools they made in a few hours, though this might not be as easy as some claim, but it definitely makes a lot of difference.
