How Michael Vibe-Coded His App in a Week (Using AI)
Michael and Magda record a joint episode while at Nozbe’s annual company retreat. They talk about how Michael spent just a few days vibe-coding a practical app that he had needed for years - despite not knowing how to code in Swift. He hired AI to do the heavy lifting, and to keep his workflow organized without abandoning his natural habits of managing projects, tasks, and comments, he connected his AI agent directly to Nozbe.
