What to do before you open Lovable
Everyone's vibe-coding apps with no brand, no
positioning, no idea who the customer is
The tool ships
The business doesn't
https://t.co/GePgXFo1yV takes you from idea to a live business
Left New Zealand 7 years ago chasing location independence
Spent years watching people I know plan businesses that never launched
The problem was never the idea
It was always the execution
Built https://t.co/GePgXFo1yV to close that gap
webmoz Mar '25 build:
Page speed was shit
Every script - GSAP, SplitType, scripts - loading at the same time
Built a lazy loader to defer all the non-critical stuff
Chatbot loaded first, everything else after
webmoz Mar '25 build:
Got the full chatbot flow working at bar in Shinjuku, Tokyo
WebSocket > LangGraph > Gemini > filtered response > frontend
Bug: the SYSTEM_PROMPT was leaking to the frontend
The AI was thinking out loud where users could see it, not the goods
webmoz Feb '25 build:
Needed web search for the AI agent
Three options: Tavily, Brave, Google Custom Search
Tavily is the LangGraph default
Brave has AI-optimized snippets
Google fits the existing stack
Picked Brave
(grndng w google search wasn't avail)
webmoz Feb '25 build:
WebSocket was randomly dropping connections
Error: 1006 - abnormal closure
No clear cause in the logs
Added a ping/pong heartbeat
Increased Cloud Run timeout to 60 mins
Still dropping...
Turns out it was just my wifi.
webmoz Feb '25 build:
Asked o3-mini to plan file upload and web search
GCS to store the file
Cloud Functions to process it
LangChain to parse it into text
LangGraph node for the web search
Used AI to design how my AI would work
Weird feeling - I'll take it
Feb' 25 webmoz:
Backend's fixed - so I revamped the home page
Then started thinking about what actually happens when someone signs up
Welcome video, survey, walkthrough, dashboard intro
The idea: no friction
Most products don't think about this until users stop showing up
Built a points & rewards system into webmoz this week
Streaks, flow sessions, daily sprints
Each one earns points toward your next AI run
Most AI tools charge you more for every run
This one rewards you for showing up
Feb '25 webmoz notes:
Built the chatbot, got it working, deployed it
After a few exchanges it started going weird
Too formal, losing the tone, breaking character
Had to rewrite the whole system prompt AI products need a character guide - not just instructions
People are shipping vibe-coded apps with no positioning, no customer, no why
The problem isn't the code It's that nobody did the thinking first
webmoz is the upstream layer - guided Q&A, AI research, structured output
Before you build anything
You can build your entire business on webmoz in under an hour
But then what
We built an engine that gets it out on all the socials to show up consistently
Every week it scans the trends, generates all the content, schedules n posts, gets smarter each week
How https://t.co/GePgXFo1yV builds your business:
- You click Run
- The agent works
- You answer a few questions
- You approve it
- Next task
That’s the entire process - from an idea to a live business in under an hour
