The limit of Vibe Coding is the limit of your imagination. But most products don't fail because they lack features.
We are constantly bombarded with the temptation to add "just one more feature." However, failure usually stems from two things: a wrong problem definition, or a core feature that isn't powerful enough.
The Trachemy Case Study
When I launched Trachemy, a co-founder matching platform, the essence was simple: "Let founders turn ideas into pitch decks and find partners."

After one month, the most important metric was the number of pitch decks generated. naturally, I started thinking: "What feature should I add to increase this?" The familiar temptation appeared: "Let's add more AI."
The Feature Expansion Trap
I built features for people who didn't want to share their ideas, and for those who had no ideas but wanted to find partners. The result? Despite all the effort, the conversion rate barely moved.
Why?
Because Trachemy's real customers were not those hiding ideas, but "desperate founders" who wanted to shout their ideas from the rooftops to find the right partner. I had moved away from the core problem.
What Not to Build
Vibe Coding makes technical implementation cheap and fast. But the most precious resource remains unchanged: The founder's time.
Especially for a Solopreneur, deciding "How much to build" is actually a decision on "What not to build." Before you add the next feature, ask yourself if it serves your core user or if it's just muddying the definition of the problem you're solving.
