This is what I learned from vibe-coding five browser games

Source: Dev.to

Introduction

Last year I started using a vibe‑coding platform to quickly create a browser‑based game portal and built five games. While I could see the first results quickly, I also encountered interesting challenges on my way to setting this up properly as a product for real users.

Today I have something running with real users, and I have plans to extend it further.

Topics I Plan to Cover

• Observations from coding and maintaining a project using an AI code assist – How can I keep confidence and quality?
• The tech stack I used for my 3‑tier web application – Can I keep it low‑cost but ready to scale?
• My approach to user analytics – How can I avoid Google Analytics and create insightful charts about user behavior?
• Security considerations – How to protect from cheaters, runaway cloud costs, and other attacks?
• User acquisition – How can I attract new users on a low budget and limited time using paid marketing and SEO?
• User retention – How to keep users on my site and encourage them to return regularly?

Feel free to let me know which topics interest you most—I’m happy to discuss them.
