Vibe Coding Launch Checklist

A working demo is not a launch-ready product

AI-assisted builders can make an app feel finished before the operational details are ready. The screen may look good while auth, mobile layout, broken states, permissions, performance, privacy, and the first user path still need review.

Before you share the link

Open the app as a brand-new user in an incognito window.
Complete the main workflow without using admin access.
Check mobile screens if participants may use a phone.
Confirm private pages are not public.
Test sign up, login, logout, and password reset.
Make sure the product has one clear first action.

Ask your coder to verify the boring parts

01Security boundaries
Check that users cannot access another user’s records or admin-only data.
02Environment variables
Confirm secrets are server-only and not exposed in client bundles or public prompts.
03Error states
Make sure failed requests do not silently lose user work.
04Tracking and verification
If you want automated product-event verification, install the JustMadeIt integration through your coder.

What to test with real people

Can they get in?AccessThe product link, login, or install path works.

Can they finish?CompletionThe main action can be completed by someone new.

Did it matter?ExperienceThe product creates enough value to notice.

Would they return?Return intentThe first experience gives a reason to come back.

Where JustMadeIt fits after vibe coding

Once the app is public enough for real people to try, JustMadeIt can help route participants into the product, collect evidence, and build Signal. The system will not hide a weak product. It will help reveal what holds up.
