Vibe Coding Her Own Client App in 12 Hours With Colie James
She joined Her AI Club on a Thursday. By Saturday morning she had a working app… and had completely forgotten it was her husband's birthday.This week, Kinsey and Joyce nerd out with Colie James, systems strategist, Her AI Club member and host of the Business-First Creatives podcast. After putting it off for six months, Colie built a full client app in 12 hours with Claude Code, replacing three custom GPTs, then kept going until she'd replaced her VideoAsk, her scheduler and most of her Airtable too.If you've got an app idea sitting on your wish list, or you're paying for software that only does 80% of what you need, this one is your sign. You'll hear exactly how Colie got started with zero coding experience, the tools she used, and the mindset that took her from "I don't know what SQL is" to build 187. Curious about the templates Colie mentions?
