1.1.1 - If You Can’t Name the User, You’re Guessing - Name the user definition: say who the user is, what starts the need and what result they are trying to reach.
Everyone's project is different. myVibe lets you describe yours. What you're building, who it's for, where you're at and what you're stuck on.
Once you do, the guided search stops giving generic results and starts surfacing the ideas that actually matter to where you are right now.
Your project evolves. myVibe evolves with it.
Join vibe2value for freeAI prototypes are easy. Delivering something real is where it breaks.
Shape with clarity. Build with AI. Launch with confidence. For founders and devs who have something working, but aren't sure it's safe to ship.
vibe2value helps you organise the thinking you already have and gives you space to explore what you're building. Whether you're shaping an idea, focusing a prototype or figuring out how to share it, the framework here is built to meet you where you are. If that sounds like where you are, you can join vibe2value for free. - Matt (vibe2value founder)
Everyone gets stuck somewhere. Here are three common starting points. Sound familiar?
If You Can't Name the User, You're Guessing
"I keep building things and nobody signs up. Maybe I'm solving the wrong problem."
The Only Path Your Prototype Needs
"My prototype works in a demo but I wouldn't put my name on it. Not yet."
Why Sharing Early Creates Learning
"I've built something real but I have no idea how to get it in front of the right people."
Start with one. You don't need all three.
Your project. Your framework.
When you join, myVibe learns about what you're building and where you're stuck. The ideas you see adapt to your context so you're not browsing a generic framework, you're getting guidance that fits where you are.
Explore the framework
1.1.1 - If You Can’t Name the User, You’re Guessing - Name the user definition: say who the user is, what starts the need and what result they are trying to reach.
1.1.2 - Describe the Pain Without Mentioning the Solution - Describe the pain statement: say who is affected, what happens right before the pain appears and what it costs the user or the team.
1.1.3 - The One-Line Promise That Keeps You Honest - Write the one-line promise: say who it is for, what result it creates and what it is deliberately not trying to do.
1.2.1 - Can You Explain This in 30 Seconds? - Explain the 30-second explanation: explain who it is for, what problem it fixes and what useful result appears without adding a second paragraph.
1.2.2 - What Does “Success” Mean for Version One? - Define the version one success definition: say what has to happen, how it will be measured and what number or threshold counts as enough.
1.2.3 - The Risks You’re Avoiding Naming - Name the named risk: say what might fail, who or what it would affect and what action will reduce the damage.
1.3.1 - The One Outcome That Makes This Worth Doing - Choose the main outcome: say what changes for the user, why that change matters and what signal will show it is real.
1.3.2 - What This Will Not Do (On Purpose) - Set the scope boundary: say what stays in, what stays out and why the cut protects the core path.
1.3.3 - Describe One Main Path - Then Ignore the Rest - Describe the main path: describe the user, what starts the flow and the exact steps that lead to the outcome.
2.1.1 - The Only Path Your Prototype Needs - Define the prototype path: say what the prototype is meant to teach, which path will test it and what signal counts as proof.
2.1.2 - Where the User First Feels Value - Find the first value moment: point to the moment the user first feels relief or progress and the step immediately before it.
2.1.3 - What This Build Is Meant to Teach You - Name the learning goal: say what you believe, what the build needs to answer and what signal will prove or weaken that belief.
2.2.1 - The Routine Work Checklist Nobody Talks About - Define the routine work checklist: say what repeats, who owns it and what done looks like each time.
2.2.2 - Buy vs Build Is a Strategy Choice - Make the buy versus build decision: say what the decision is about, why one side wins and which constraint makes the call.
2.2.3 - Understanding the Shape of the System - Map the system shape: say which part owns what, what each part depends on and where the important handoff happens.
2.3.1 - Where the Real Differentiation Actually Lives - Name the real differentiation: point to the advantage, show where the user feels it and say what should remain standard.
2.3.2 - Why Cutting Features Is a Design Skill in AI-Assisted Software Development - Choose the feature cut: say what stays central, what gets removed and why the product becomes stronger because of that cut.
2.3.3 - The One Metric That Proves This Works - Define the proof metric: say what the metric is, what user behavior creates it and what threshold counts as enough.
3.1.1 - Why Sharing Early Creates Learning - Plan the early sharing plan: say who will see it, what they will see and what question their reaction needs to answer.
3.1.2 - Ask for Signals, Not Opinions - Choose the decision signal: point to the behavior or result you need to see and explain what decision it will change.
3.1.3 - Decide in Advance What Would Change Your Mind - Set the decision threshold: say what evidence will trigger change, where it will come from and what action follows.
3.2.1 - The Difference Between Learning and Being Stuck - Name the learning signal: say what question is being answered, what signal will answer it and what decision comes next.
3.2.2 - Explain Your Decisions Before Asking for Review - Explain the review context: say what was decided, what trade-off it created and what question you want reviewers to answer.
3.2.3 - Iteration Should Increase Value - Check the iteration value test: say what changed, what user outcome it is meant to improve and what signal will show that it did.
3.3.1 - What “Ready” Actually Means - Define the readiness rule: say what has to be true, how it will be checked and who owns any remaining risk.
3.3.2 - Name the Risks Before Users Find Them - Name the launch risk: say what might break, what would trigger it and what response reduces the damage.
3.3.3 - Are You Comfortable Putting Your Name on This? - Set the ownership threshold: say what is still imperfect, what would happen if it failed and why shipping is still acceptable under those conditions.
What people have said.
We'd love to hear your story too. Every conversation helps us understand what's working and what to build next.
From the working notes
All the research, nothing to show for it - what if you could deliver this week? - You bought the books. Watched the tutorials. Spun up projects on three different stacks with two different AI coding tools. Investigated frameworks, compared hosting platforms, read threads from people who sound like they have it figured out.
