Workshop
Vibecoding mobile apps for non-tech people
VibeConf 2026 · 6 October 2026 · Pathé Tuschinski, Amsterdam
You don’t need to be a developer to build a real mobile app anymore. In this hands-on workshop, we’ll show you how to go from an idea to the first working app screens — live, in real time, in about 20 minutes.
What we cover
- 01
Why now is the moment to build
AI agents changed the game. What used to take a team and a quarter now takes an afternoon — anyone can build real native apps today.
- 02
Mobile tech stack in plain language
React or Swift? We explain how mobile apps are actually put together, without the jargon, so you know what you are asking for.
- 03
Web vs mobile
When a web app is enough, and when native is worth it — notifications, offline use, camera, subscriptions and store distribution.
- 04
Live demo
We build the first screens of a real app from scratch with Modaal.dev. iOS is the example on screen; the same workflow applies to Android.
- 05
How to prompt like an engineer
Scope the work, ship in vertical slices, and avoid the “small change broke everything” trap.
What you’ll walk away with
- A clear picture of how a mobile app is built, end to end.
- The judgement to choose between web and native for your own idea.
- A working set of first app screens you watched being built live.
- A prompting method that keeps an AI agent on scope instead of breaking your app.
- The confidence to keep building after the conference, on your own.
Who it’s for
Founders, PMs, designers, solopreneurs and curious builders. No coding experience needed.
Workshop extras
- Free personal onboarding to Modaal.dev.
- 50% off the “Idea to iOS & Android App” Maven buildcamp. The next cohort starts after the conference.
