Vibe coding drives mobile app surge and shifts bottleneck to attention

April 5, 2026Jason SaaStr.Ai Lemkin, Rohan Paul, Alex Nguyen

Jason Lemkin and Rohan Paul cite sharp increases in new mobile apps and developers as vibe coding lowers build cost, while Alex Nguyen argues the harder problem is now getting users to care.

Holy Cow @RevenueCat! +40% growth in new developers shipping production apps in just one month!!
Vibe coding tools opened the gates. Apple’s App Store ended up with 84% more new apps in the first quarter.
The cost of getting from idea to acceptable first version is coming close to zero.
I believe the future isn’t about building products anymore vibe coding has made that part easy. The real challenge now is getting people to care.
