Good morning and happy Sunday. In this Vibe Coding Live session, Will Melton pushes Sound Rewrite toward launch mode—shipping real features, testing Stripe billing, validating credit usage, tightening security, and stress-testing the dashboard UX in real time. This is an unfiltered look at how modern vibe coding actually works when you’re trying to get a production app across the finish line with AI as your coding partner.
This session is part of the broader challenge to build 52 apps in 2026, and today’s focus is narrow, practical, and very real: remove friction, protect users, and ship something people can actually use to finish their books.
Sound Rewrite is an author-focused platform designed to help writers listen to their manuscripts, catch issues faster, collaborate with coaches and editors, and finally get to “done.” Throughout the stream, Will works through real launch blockers—subscription mismatches, transaction history gaps, TTS credit enforcement, sample project deployment, dashboard layout issues, and security scans—while explaining the business reasoning behind each decision.
If you’re interested in vibe coding, AI optimization, AI SEO, or AI search optimization, this session shows what those ideas look like in practice, not theory.
What we covered in this session:
* Launch-mode mindset: prioritizing usability over perfection
* Dashboard UX refactors to reduce overwhelm and invite action
* Stripe integration testing, failed attempts, and subscription edge cases
* Credit-based TTS enforcement and why leakage kills SaaS margins
* Sample projects as onboarding tools (Gift of the Magi + Finish Your Book)
* AI-assisted audio generation and listening as an editing workflow
* Collaboration features for authors, coaches, editors, and co-authors
* Security scans, Supabase limitations, and real-world tradeoffs
* In-app notifications, billing visibility, and missing dashboard expectations
* Why great UX is non-negotiable in modern AI products
What shipped or changed:
* Live Stripe payments with test transactions
* Dashboard layout improvements and card separation
* Sample book audio generation and deployment logic
* Credit usage visibility and enforcement review
* Security scans completed prior to go-live
* Live domain, analytics, and sitemap validation
Who this video is for:
* Indie builders shipping SaaS with AI tools
* Authors looking for better editing and revision workflows
* Founders interested in AI optimization and AI SEO
* Anyone curious how vibe coding works under real launch pressure
