Vibe coding: build a small app with an AI coding tool

The situation you work through
Eero, a volunteer coordinator at a food bank in Tampere, builds one small shift sign-up page with an AI coding tool: a first prompt, a shared link, a bug fix and a safe way to save sign-ups.
Your practice task
Build one small app of your own with an AI coding tool: a page where visitors do one thing and something is saved. Put it on a live link, test it with three people, find and fix one bug, and check that no secret key sits in your code and that access rules are in place. Submit the live link, your first prompt word for word, and three sentences on what the app does, which bug you fixed, and your next step.
