🌴195. How I built a custom app with zero code (and you can, too)
This episode is a little different — it’s a behind-the-scenes walkthrough of a live experiment I ran last week. If you’re subscribed to my Friday Substack, you may have already seen the video, but even without the visuals, I think there’s so much value in hearing the thinking behind what I built.
So, what’s this episode about?
I’m showing you my first foray into vibe coding — a fancy name for talking out your ideas and having AI turn them into working software.
No code. No developer. Just your voice + some friction points from your life = custom tools that work the way you do.
What I built is called Leanne’s Media House Stack — a personal system that helps me capture, organize, and reuse my content across podcasts, LinkedIn, keynote stories, and more. It’s like a digital content library and idea bank, built to make visibility easier (and batching optional).
Inside this episode:
- Why vibe coding is a game-changer for creators and consultants
- The two best places to start when thinking of what tool to build
- How I used ChatGPT to identify my biggest business bottleneck
- A sneak peek at Google AI Studio and how it builds the app in real time
- What’s next for my Media House Stack (and how I want it to integrate with my RSS + LinkedIn)
🎥 If you do want the visuals, the video walkthrough is linked in the show notes.
And hey — if you find yourself copying and pasting things every day, this episode is your sign to try building something smarter.
