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.
