For most of software history, building an app required a relatively small group of people with the right technical skills, time, and resources. That is changing quickly.
AI-assisted development and vibe coding are lowering the barrier to making useful software. More people can turn an idea into a working product, often in days instead of months.
Creation is getting cheaper. Distribution is not.
When it becomes easier to make software, the hard part moves somewhere else. More apps compete for the same attention. A good product still needs people to discover it, trust it, try it, and come back.
The cost of building software is collapsing faster than the cost of distributing it.
That starts to make software look more like content. Creators need audiences. Launches need distribution. Updates can become moments people follow. Users can build taste around the software and creators they care about.
Apps need a social layer
Today, people encounter new software through search, social posts, newsletters, launches, and word of mouth. Those moments can bring attention, but they do not always help someone stay connected to the maker or the product over time.
VIBPS is built around a different idea: apps should be followable, creators should be able to build audiences, and software activity should have a feed.
- Creators publish and launch apps.
- People follow creators and software they care about.
- Updates become reasons to return.
- Engagement helps useful software travel further.
The feed for what people are building
The long-term goal for VIBPS is simple to describe: open it to see what people are building today.
The product is still early, but that is the behavior we are building toward: a social network around software, creators, and the audiences they find.
