I generally agree with the sentiment of the article, but the OP should also be looking at product launch websites like ProductHunt, where there are tens to hundreds of vibe coded SaaS apps listed daily.

From my experience, it's much easier to get an LLM to generate code for a React/Tailwind CSS web app than a mobile app, and that's why we're seeing so many of these apps showing up in the SaaS space.



I actually just looked, if anything the PH data supports his theory, assuming the website I found is scraping this data accurately.

In fact it looks like there were less products launched last month on PH than the same period a year ago.

It's a bit hard as they're not summing by months but it looks like less to me quickly scanning it.

And as Claude Code has only really been out 3/4 months you'd be expecting launches to be shooting up week-by-week right about now as all the vibe products get finished.

They're not, see the 8 week graph:

I'm surprised, but you're right... Thanks for sharing this site, it'll be interesting to dig into the data.
