Announcing the official Vibe Coding Showcase (plus other wins) π
Here's what my recent weeks had: Meta builds, demo days, and that #1 PH feeling π₯
Hey everyone π
Hope you're having an amazing week! Wanted to share some exciting updates from my world β been shipping, hustling and discovering some cool opportunities that I think you'll find interesting.
π Weekly Updates
Here are the three big things I wanted to share:
1) I shipped something meta (and I'm pretty proud of it) π¨ Just launched Vibe Coded Showcase β a collection of stunning apps and websites built by vibe coders worldwide. The meta part? I vibe coded the entire platform using Bolt, Supabase, and Netlify. Within a couple days of launching it, I hit 34,000 views on launch post, 900 unique visitors, 2.8k total views, and collected 79 project submissions. Sometimes the best way to showcase a concept is to live it yourself.
Got a couple shoutouts from Noah Kagan (CEO of Appsumo) and Jason Lemkin (CEO of SaaStr).
PS: Also got to appear on the Worldβs Largest Hackathonβs award ceremony this weekend. Watch the piece here.
2) Demo Day hosting duties are back! π€ I'm SUPER HYPED to be hosting Paddle Launchpad Demo Day on August 7th again! Getting to know our 5 talented finalists over the past few weeks and watching them build and iterate has been incredibly satisfying. We've got Kilian Valkhof (Polypane), Anton Selikhov (TaloAI), Abdul Mukati (Master Inbox), Vinayak (Superjoin), and Mike Jackowski (ZenABM) β all bringing unique solutions to the stage. Our judges Sheel Mohnot from Better Tomorrow Ventures and Matt Biilmann from Netlify are going to have tough decisions ahead. Hope to see you in the audience!
3) Postman's investing $18K in the developer community π° .
The Postman Notebooks Challenge is LIVE! $18K in prizes. 5 categories. Infinite creativity. Build a Notebook that teaches, automates, or inspiresβespecially with AI.
