Can we build it? Yes, we can!

💥 The Breakthrough

“We'd gone down the traditional path—hired a designer, built out Figma files… and it just didn’t get me what I wanted. Plus, it was expensive.”

Schedulete is a bootstrapped B2B scheduling and team admin software platform custom-built for college athletics. We have a version of our scheduling product in the market, but wanted to expand to help athletics operations personnel too. The athletic ops product helps team staff book flights, hotels, logistics – everything it takes to move college teams from Point A to Game Day. It’s chaos in spreadsheet form.

We had a clear understanding of our users and vision in our heads of what we wanted to build, but we didn’t have a designer, and our lead PM (Alexa) had gone off to Apple for the summer. We had hired a design and dev team, then another, but something kept getting lost in translation.

We were frustrated, and stuck.

During one of our regular team calls, Alexa talked about the “vibe coding” craze ripping through the Stanford campus and broader Bay Area. When she described what it was, I perked up. This could be the tool I needed to build out Schedulete for Athletics Operations.

So I opened Lovable, uploaded my half-finished Figma files and screenshots, and wrote a single sentence.

Hit enter.

And watched as it built a working app.

🎨 What Is Vibe Coding?

Vibe coding is what happens when you stop telling computers how to do things—and just start telling them what you want.

It’s not code, but it’s not no-code either. You still need vision. Still need to know how a product should feel. But now you can build that feeling—without waiting for a sprint cycle or a frontend dev to “slot it in.”

“I thought maybe I could skip the whole designer → dev handoff. Turns out, I could.”
