When "I'll build my own" becomes your superpower.
Facebook Ad Spy tools, SEO auditing, screen recording, AI music apps, and more.
Hey vibe marketer.
This week's submissions prove a simple truth.
When faced with expensive tools or missing features, vibe marketers don't complain.
They build.
Let's see what happened when these creators said "I'll make my own."
5 vibe marketing tools worth checking out
1. Facebook ad spy tool in n8n - one scrape, infinite analysis
JJ Tham got inspired by Tanmay Jain's Facebook ad library MCP server and built his own variation.
His approach: "I'm a fan of spending the cost on scrapers 'once' and never spending it ever again."
The workflow:
Uses Apify (more generous free tier than other scrapers)
Scrapes ads from high-spending advertisers
Analyzes and stores ads in structured database format
Eliminates recurring scraper costs through smart data storage
JJ's next level plans: integrate pre-approved video clips and use ffmpeg to edit videos with voice-overs.
The workflow is available for free on his YouTube channel.
This is exactly the vibe marketer mentality – build once, benefit forever.
2. Professional SEO auditing application - comprehensive client reports
Thomas Miller built an internal SEO and GEO auditing tool for his AI agency that rivals expensive enterprise solutions.
The application features:
Traditional technical SEO audits
Generative engine optimization analysis
Competitor analysis and content generation
Instant professional reports
White labeling for agencies
Team collaboration and client presentations
ROI tracking capabilities
Built with Supabase auth and persistent storage, it pulls website content, feeds it to OpenAI for analysis, and provides AI-powered keyword suggestions.
The scoring system combines technical audits, content quality, and keyword performance into weighted overall scores.
Still in the MVP stage but already delivering comprehensive audits that would cost thousands from traditional tools.
3. RawRec screen recording software - Loom alternative at 1/3 the price
Muhammad Huzaifa needed screen recording for client demos but wasn't paying Loom's $200/year.
His solution: "F#ck it, I'll build my own."
3 hours later, RawRec was born:
Same core features as premium tools
1/3 the price of competitors
Raw, clean design focused on functionality
This is the vibe marketer response to overpriced SaaS – build it yourself, better and cheaper.
4. Personal fitness mobile app - the age of personal software
The Boring Marketer needed to get back in shape after vacation and built a custom solution.
His process:
Built custom workout and nutrition plan with o3
Gave the plan to Claude Code
Deployed as mobile app with Expo
This represents "the age of personal software" – where anyone can build custom applications for their specific needs rather than settling for generic solutions.
No gym membership required. No expensive personal trainer. Just a custom app built exactly for his goals.
5. AI music creation app with voice profiles - full app in 20 minutes
The Boring Intern, followed in the footsteps of his uncle, The Boring Marketer, and built a complete AI music application using Base44 and a ChatGPT-generated script.
The app features:
Voice profile creation from 30-second audio recordings
Video input for music generation
Genre selection and backup singer options
Full instrument library
Lyric prompt system
Personal music library storage
Built in 20 minutes by feeding ChatGPT a script that told Base44 exactly what to create.
The result? A full-featured music app that lets you create songs with any artist's voice profile.
Miscellaneous Vibes
Here are some other things we have on our radar.
there's a quiet shift happening in how we design software. we're moving from UX to AX (agentic experience).
traditional UX is screen-centric. you tap a button, product reacts, job done. every session starts from zero.
designers pre-plan every path with hard-coded flows. users
