I Built a Full E-Commerce Platform in 6 Hours Using Vibe Coding 😄🛒
I did a slightly chaotic thing this week: I challenged myself to build a working e-commerce platform in 6 hours. Not a mockup. Not a “demo.” An actual shop with products, cart, checkout, and a simple admin flow. And I built it using vibe coding. What’s vibe coding? To me, vibe coding is basically: stop treating your project like a fragile masterpiece and start building like you’re playing. You code in flow make fast decisions.You use AI like a co-pilot when you need it.You ship before your brain talks you out of it. Why 6 hours? Because deadlines are magic.When you only have 6 hours, you don’t waste time debating frameworks or tweaking button shadows for 40 minutes. You build what matters and move on. How I tackled it I kept it brutally simple: - Hour 1: create the main pages (shop, product, cart, checkout, admin) - Hours 2–3: wire up product data + orders (the “real platform” part) - Hour 4: add basic admin features (add/edit products, view orders) - Hour 5: make it look clean enough to trust - Hour 6: break it, fix it, deploy it The messy truth 😅 Cart bugs happened (as always).Checkout edge cases got ignored.Some code is… not my proudest moment. But here’s the thing: it works. And now I have something real to improve instead of another half-finished idea in a folder. That’s what vibe coding is really about:speed, creativity, learning — and shipping.
