I vibe coded for months. The sales never came.

Brief

DesignCode's livestream (2026-06-13) is a public debugging session where the team explains that after months building an AI-assisted editor with Codex and shipping real release builds, sales remained almost non-existent. The conversation probes market fit, distribution, and next steps rather than offering a packaged comeback, and lists tools used (Riverside, DreamCut, Neuform, Aura, Wispr Flow).

Why it matters

After months of development with Codex, DesignCode shipped a functioning app and release builds but saw almost non-existent sales after launch; the livestream was published on 2026-06-13 to diagnose why.

Key details

  • The session is framed as a public debugging session (not a polished founder comeback) that shifts the question from 'What should we build next?' to market fit, distribution, and product positioning.
  • The team used an AI-assisted workflow and production tools—Codex for coding plus Riverside, DreamCut, Neuform, Aura, and Wispr Flow—and features creators Sourasith (@MadebySourasith), Sam (@samnang_aing), Sourany (@SouranyStudio), Vanh (@CreativeDesignTools), and Dara (@darato2015).
Source evidence

The product works. The app exists. The editor has real features. The release builds are real. I have used it, improved it, broken it, fixed it, and rebuilt whole parts of the workflow with Codex sitting beside me.

And the sales are almost non-existent.

That is the part I want to talk about on the livestream.

Not as a dramatic founder confession. Not as a fake comeback story where the lesson is already perfectly packaged. More like a public debugging session. We built something for months. The market did not immediately reward us. Now we have to ask a harder question than, "What should we build next?"
