I used AI to code a scheduling app in 10 minutes
My friends and I have a serious scheduling problem — and you might relate.If you've ever tried to plan a dinner over WhatsApp or Telegram, you know the pattern. Someone suggests a date. A few people respond. Then messages go unanswered, and the plans don't happen.I decided to rid my group chats of this scourge by building a scheduling app that would be fun to use — and using AI instead of writing my own code.I've been experimenting with vibe coding, so I set myself a challenge. I would take a couple of minutes a day, over lunch, to see how far I'd get with building an app on the AI-coding platform Lovable. I wanted to see if I could make something that could replace some functions of my existing calendar, and what the end result would signal about fears that AI coding could threaten traditional software companies.
