CAN I VIBECODE

RescueTime?

YESA focused first version is a sensible AI-assisted build. Keep the first release narrow and polish the workflow people repeat.

BUILD FIRST

  1. One defined user and a repeatable end-to-end job
  2. A small, clear data model with sign-in only if it is genuinely needed
  3. Loading, empty, error, and success states that make the workflow feel complete

LEAVE FOR LATER

  1. Large integration marketplaces
  2. Multi-region scale and enterprise administration
  3. Every power-user setting from the established product

Build a focused replacement for RescueTime for one clearly defined user, based on this public product description: “Take Control of Your Time: Automatic time tracking with RescueTime! — Boost productivity with RescueTime's automatic time tracking software and timesheet app for freelancers, small businesses, project management, and employees.

Core workflow
- Recreate only the narrow primary workflow described above, with model the product's primary input → workflow → output in an editable interface; make state, errors, and external dependencies visible; provide portable data, export, and deletion controls; include fixture data and a deterministic happy-path test.
- Keep the product name and source description in a research note in the README, and turn every uncertain behavior into an explicit assumption or user setting rather than inventing a feature.
- Use a small React/TypeScript app with a portable JSON or SQLite data model, clear loading/empty/error states, and adapters around external services. Seed realistic demo data so the complete workflow works without paid credentials.

Scope boundaries
- Out of scope for v1: feature-for-feature parity; broad integrations; unverified enterprise or scale claims. Do not promise feature parity, proprietary data, or enterprise reliability.

Include a README with setup, environment variables, data model, implementation decisions, privacy behavior, testing instructions, and important limitations.
