Your first vibe-coding project: the trick is picking one small enough
The hardest part of a first project isn't the code — it's choosing something small enough to finish. So we'll keep this tiny: a one-page “link in bio” site you can actually ship today.
You won't write code by hand. You'll describe each step, let the agent build it, and learn to read what it produces.
The path
- Pick the smallest version. One page, your name, three links. Resist adding features.
- Describe the goal once, clearly. “A single dark page with my name, a short tagline, and three buttons linking to my profiles.”
- Iterate in small steps. Change one thing at a time: “make the buttons full-width on mobile,” then check the result before the next change.
- Deploy. Ask the agent to publish it and give you the link.
When it's live, you'll have done the full loop — idea, build, fix, deploy — which is the whole skill in miniature. Every bigger project is just this loop, repeated. Start here, and the next one feels obvious.
