Live vibe coding: I am building a tool to manifest your biggest goals. Dream it once, in full sensory detail, and it goes to work on your mind daily. Everyone has a version of their life they can see when they close their eyes. The house. The business. The freedom. The person yo…
Vibe Coding 101 is a free 75-minute interactive course that teaches non-technical founders, marketers, and operators how apps actually work — and how to start building one. Eleven modules. Interactive demos in every one. Hands-on exercises that get you building the same day. Zer…
Vibe coding is already changing how people build software. But most people still don't know where to start — or how to even talk about it. Today I'm building a free, interactive platform designed to close that gap. This isn't a course. It's a hands-on tool — the kind you open in…
What would it even take to measure quality of life? Not the vague, feel-good version — an actual tool. A standard. A calculator. Something you could put in front of a person and get a real answer out of. That's the question I'm walking into today's stream with. No predetermined …

Yesterday we kicked off something I've been wanting to build for a long time — a live, physics-based visualization of my entire business ecosystem. Today we go deeper. The Nexus Map is a d3-force + d3-zoom interactive app that plots every project, venture, idea, and relationship…
40 apps in. 12 to go. This session was a working session — heads down on two builds simultaneously: Trivia Live, the live trivia platform I'm building for bars and venues under OnScreenGames, and Idea Nexus, my AI-powered business operating system that's supposed to be running a…
Building the first working version of a visual map of everything I'm working on. This is a Channel RVA production, part of my quest to build 52 apps in 2026, and today is all about prototyping an interactive bubble chart before committing a single token to a permanent build. I'm…

Finishing the build I started yesterday: a visual command center for every project, venture, and idea in my orbit. This is a Channel RVA production, part of my run to build 52 apps in 2026, and today the map grows up from a pretty bubble chart into something genuinely productive…
Finishing and actually launching the humanoid robot rental business I started yesterday, live on the air. This is a Channel RVA production, part of my run to build 52 apps in 2026, and today is the payoff: wiring up payments, patching the site, running a security check, and push…
Starting an entire business from nothing but an idea and some AI credits. This is a Channel RVA production, part of my run to build 52 apps in 2026, and today the mission is bigger than a website: can I stand up a real business, from scratch, live, with no capital? The idea is a…
Channel RVA has been growing fast — new content categories, new features, new data — and the homepage has been absorbing all of it in real time. The result is a page that's doing too much: a long scroll that buries content, grid layouts that break when articles are missing image…
Three builds in one session — all live, all in Lovable. This stream covers the AI Readiness Game for nonprofits, an AI Policy Learning Game for employee training, and a free image optimizer tool. Each one is a standalone app inside OnScreenGames.com, and each one ships with lead…
Building My Speaker Website Live — willmelton.com Redesign, Booking Wizard & AI Chatbot Redesigning willmelton.com live with Lovable — building it into an actual conversion tool for speaking engagements instead of just a digital business card. The existing site works. It has con…
Today's live build is one of the widest sessions yet in the 52 Apps in 52 Weeks challenge. We're starting with the engagement widget originally built for Channel RVA (channelrva.com) and expanding it into a reusable multi-site component — a mini real player that surfaces video c…
Day 2 of the sprint and we're finishing what we started. Three active builds, all moving toward shipped today. RVA AI Interns is the most urgent. This is a free community platform for Greater Richmond — any small business can post an internship, manage applicants, run intern che…
Picking up where yesterday left off. Today we're building OnScreenGames.com — the sales and marketing site for screen-based games as a business growth tool for restaurants, bars, breweries, live event venues, trade show booths, and subscriber communities. The site has one job: a…
We're putting the finishing touches on the Channel RVA AI Game Show podcast so it's camera-ready for our first episode recording next Wednesday. That means tightening the production flow, locking the guest experience, and making sure the broadcast infrastructure actually holds u…
Today we're building out the restaurant and bar expansion layer for Channel RVA Games — an interactive live entertainment network that runs on screens inside Richmond venues, with players participating in real time from their phones. This isn't a bar trivia app. It's a local med…
What if reading local news earned you points? What if your neighborhood competed against The Fan for Richmond bragging rights? What if answering a trivia question in your morning email leveled up your standing on a city-wide leaderboard? That's exactly what we're building — live…

Two builds today — starting with an upgrade to the product roadmap tool that's been on my list for a while. The roadmap tool inside Spaceport manages every feature, fix, and improvement across the @Xponent21 stack. It works. But there's been a gap: nothing in the workflow forces…
Yesterday we laid the foundation. Today we see it run. We kicked off the Hermes Agent build yesterday — foundation shell, Roadmap SDK v2.4.0 deployed, sprint queue assembled, and the first build sprint executing. Today we pick up where we left off and start bringing the actual a…
Today we're going live to build a Hermes Agent on Lovable — and this one has real teeth. Hermes is an open-source autonomous agent that lives on your server, remembers what it learns, and gets more capable the longer it runs. We're wiring it directly into our existing AI automat…
Yesterday I built the public-facing shell of The New Faith Movement — a real humanist movement built around faith in humanity, ten Guiding Lights, and a daily practice of kindness, service, and accountability. Today was supposed to go deeper. The plan was to build the daily chal…
What if you could vibe code a movement? Today I'm building the digital home for The New Faith Movement — a real framework for living built on faith in humanity rather than faith in a deity. Not a joke. Not a concept. A real thing, with a founding document, guiding principles, an…

Most businesses aren't budgeting for AI search visibility yet. That's the core challenge facing every agency selling in this space. The service isn't hard to explain. The investment isn't hard to justify. But getting a decision-maker to pull from a budget that doesn't exist yet?…
Day 2. Sunday. 10 AM. We're back. Yesterday we started two apps from scratch — Travel Thrift, a platform that connects travelers with local merchant discounts before they ever leave home, and Passport to Space, a space tourism intelligence site built for people who are seriously…
Two apps. One stream. Both going from zero to deployed, live, today. This is what vibe coding looks like in practice — no polished demos, no rehearsed walkthroughs. You're watching real decisions get made in real time, using AI-assisted development tools to ship full-stack appli…
Live at 10 AM EST. Come build with me. Three things on the board today. First, Spaceport — @Xponent21's internal operating system that connects every tool our team uses under one login. The chatbot is functional but it's time to make it actually intelligent. Today we wire up the…
We're going somewhere nobody outside of Xponent21 has ever been. Today I'm opening the doors to Spaceport — our internal operating system that connects every app we've built into one centralized hub. Single sign-on across the entire ecosystem. Employee handbook. SOPs with versio…
Bad meetings are a leadership problem. Most teams sit through the same three formats — open discussion, PowerPoint, Q&A — and wonder why nothing changes. The problem isn't the people. It's the structure. Liberating Structures gives you 33 different ways to run a meeting, worksho…
We're back. Yesterday I built the shell for Simmer Circle — the sauce-sharing app that lets friend groups swap homemade sauces in reusable glass jars, cut single-use plastic, and make home cooking worth looking forward to again. Today we finish it. Part II is where the app becom…
Today I built Simmer Circle from scratch — a community sauce-sharing app that makes home cooking more interesting and a lot less plastic-dependent. The idea is simple: make one sauce, swap jars with your group, end the week with six different sauces you didn't have to make yours…
We're going live to test and finish Liberating Facilitator — a free web app I built for facilitators, team leads, educators, and anyone who runs meetings that suck. Most meetings fail because of format, not people. Liberating Structures fixes that. It's a set of 33 practical fac…
I'll be showing a few of the things that I've been building over the past couple of weeks.
Day 2. The game interface exists. Now we make it fun. Yesterday I built AI Game Show from scratch — the player interface, the real-time voice queue, the voting system, the host dashboard. Today we stress-test it. We're playing rounds, breaking things on purpose, locking in the r…
Nobody has built this before. We're building it today. AI Game Show Podcast is an episodic comedy show where four players compete to deliver the funniest AI-voiced response to a surprise prompt — in real time, in sequence, with an audience that votes and a winner who comes back …

We're back. Picking up right where we left off yesterday — finishing the curriculum builder, adding a facilitation tool, and dropping new features into some of the other apps I've built. All live, all from scratch. This one's also a little personal. I'm teaching an AI SEO course…
Today's build is a little different. I'm teaching an AI SEO course at the University of Richmond this spring — Building Brand Authority in an AI-Driven Search World — and this session is dedicated to building the tool I'll use to assemble the curriculum and course guide for it. …
In this Sunday live vibe coding session, we pushed Sound Rewrite closer to launch readiness and kicked off a bold new media platform build: Channel RVA. This is what real-world vibe coding looks like—shipping, testing, breaking things, fixing UX friction, and tightening the loop…
Building 52 apps in 2026 means shipping in public — and this Saturday session was exactly that. We kicked things off with a live reskin of West Broad Studios, our physical production space at 316 West Broad Street. With Studio A opening for bookings next week, it was time to bri…

Good morning and happy Sunday. In this Vibe Coding Live session, Will Melton pushes Sound Rewrite toward launch mode—shipping real features, testing Stripe billing, validating credit usage, tightening security, and stress-testing the dashboard UX in real time. This is an unfilte…
This live vibe coding session is a raw, behind-the-scenes look at how real AI-enabled products get built, refined, and shipped in public. Will kicks things off by getting the live stream wired up (including a few real-world hiccups), then settles into a practical working session…
