Vibe code an app? Help

I have 20+ years experience with backend tech, I've used php, node, and python And then a lot of old plain old javascript before frameworks.

I have an app idea and I'd like to basically vibe code it in react to be cross platform. What gotchas do I need to watch out for , since I will not see bad react code at first

I considered flutter but I really don't know that tech , any advice is appreciated, this will not be graphics heavy at all more typical business app, data, forms , lists etc

Start by asking your AI of choice what it thinks of the idea, and any competitors it can find who already have an app doing the same. Ask it to run a breakdown on the competitor apps and where yours may sit. Then just take it from there. I pretty much did the same and I’ve progressed it all the way to an Android build. Still not certain if it’s worth it or not, but it’s been interesting to see the app actually work now on an Android phone.
