Stop Building Admin Applications

· 6 min read

Co-Founder and Architect @ Codehooks

Every developer has built some version of the same admin application. Users table, CRUD forms, list views, search, filters, auth, role management, a REST API. You know the drill. You scaffold the project, wire up the endpoints, build the forms, handle validation, add pagination, implement auth — and a week later you have something that looks like every other admin app.

What if you could skip all of that and just describe what you need?

Vibe Coding a Todo App: From Zero to Deployed in One Session

How fast can you go from an empty folder to a fully deployed full-stack app? In this post, I'll walk through a live vibe coding session where I pair-programmed with an AI agent (Claude Code) to build a todo app using React for the frontend and Codehooks.io for the backend — all deployed to the cloud in minutes.

Every prompt I typed, every decision the agent made, and every line of code it wrote is documented here. Follow along and try it yourself.

Building Webhook-Enabled LLM Workflows in JavaScript with Codehooks.io

Most AI projects don't need a fleet of orchestration tools to run a few prompt chains. The real work is state management, retries, scheduling, and simple persistence—the operational glue between LLM API calls.

This post shows you how to build a production-ready text summarization workflow using Codehooks.io, the Workflow API, and OpenAI. You'll learn:

  • OpenAI API integration patterns: Error handling, retries, rate limiting, and cost optimization
  • Workflow state management: Building reliable multi-step processes with caching and persistence
  • Webhook triggers: Event-driven workflows that respond to GitHub issues (and other external services)
  • Programmatic access: How to trigger and manage workflows via REST API, CLI, and webhooks

By the end, you'll have a working summarizer that caches results, stores them in a NoSQL database, and can be triggered via REST API or GitHub webhooks—all deployed with a single command.

Here's the workflow we'll build:

Updated February 2026 with new tools (Windsurf, OpenAI Codex CLI, Gemini CLI) and refreshed pricing, stats, and feature descriptions across all entries.

Ever notice how some days you're a caffeinated code ninja ready to refactor an entire codebase, while other days you can barely muster the energy to fix a typo? Welcome to the wonderfully human world of vibe coding – and the tools that get it.
