Vibe Coding for Beginners: Your First App

By: Miimu Staff Last updated on October 25, 2026

Vibe coding means describing the app you want and letting an AI write the code, then testing it and asking for changes. For a first-timer, writing the code is the easy part. The harder parts are understanding it and getting it online.


Claude was asked to build a small habit tracker and walk through both. The app and its three guides are saved in one bundle, next to the tools and deploy guides behind them.

THE RESEARCH BEHIND THIS GUIDEKeep this bundle. Every link and note, yours to edit.The bundle above holds all the research: 33 links in 5 sub-bundles, each with a note on why it's there. Import a free copy, then add your own finds, cut what you don't need and keep it where you'll find it again.

The Prompt That Started It

One request for a small, useful app and the three things a beginner needs around it. Keeping the app to three habits is deliberate: small enough to understand line by line.

Build my first small web app with me: a habit tracker for three daily habits that remembers my check-ins in the browser and shows a streak for each habit. Make each of these as its own separate artifact, and build every one as an HTML web page artifact (not a document) so anyone with the link can open it: 1) the working habit tracker app; 2) a plain-language walkthrough of how the code works, section by section, for someone who has never coded; 3) a step-by-step guide to put the app online free with GitHub Pages; 4) five prompts I can paste back to you to add features next, each with what it adds. Make reasonable assumptions instead of asking me questions.

The first miimu in the bundle links to the full chat, shared from Claude, so anyone can read what went in.
