Content Summary
User u/PhilosopherNo3778 built a landing page for their SaaS tool 'subchecks.com' in one hour using Vibe coding. The tool helps freelancers track subscriptions per client/project. The landing page was created with Vite + React but faced issues like broken links, slow loading, and SEO concerns due to client-side rendering. The author received feedback about backend choices (Supabase for waitlist, PostgreSQL planned for app) and plans to address SEO by migrating to Next.js or creating pre-rendered pages.
Opinion Analysis
Mainstream opinions praise the landing page design and rapid development using Vibe coding. However, significant concerns are raised about functionality (broken links, slow loading) and SEO limitations of client-side rendering. A debate emerges about backend choices: while Supabase is acceptable for simple tasks, some argue dedicated backends are necessary for serious SaaS applications. The author acknowledges these concerns and plans improvements. Conflicting views exist on whether quick prototyping compromises long-term viability.
