Vibecoding Is the Future 🚀

Believe it or not, this app was entirely written using Claude Code and Cursor, not one line of code written by hand. See any amazing art in our app? Do you like our app icon? Generated. Our development team had never even made a react native app, yet here we are...

Inspiration 💡

Millions of dollars in class‑action settlements go unclaimed every year simply because most people never hear about them, let alone wade through pages of legal notices. Most people assume they are not part of the class action, but many of these large companies use sneaky manipulation tactics. Payout is here to surface the money you’re already owed and send you a notifications when new class action settlements arrive.

What it does 🧐

  • Discover — Browse an always‑updated feed of class action settlements from brand you already know. The app shows eligibility rules in plain English and estimates potential payouts as well as due dates.
  • Notify — Get notified when new settlements arrive.

Challenges we ran into 😰

  1. Legal compliance — We had to walk a fine line: help users file, but never “practice law.” Clear disclaimers and opt‑ins were baked into every screen.
  2. Patience testing — Some administrators take months to pay; keeping users engaged meant shipping a status timeline and gentle “still waiting” nudges.
  3. New Technologies — The app was entirely produced using AI, not one line of code written by hand, lots of negotiation with AI though...

Accomplishments that we’re proud of 🙌

  • Shipped v1 in 10 days by leveraging AI.
  • Hit both the App Store and Google Play with:
    • 17,000+ users
    • $30,017 revenue
    • 1750+ paid subscriptions
    • 500,000 X impressions about the app

What we learned 🧠

  • A/B testing pricing is crucial to optimize your LTV
  • AI is extremely valuable for shipping fast
  • Capturing high value keywords can be extremely high leverage

What’s next for Payout 📆
