Building open-source products

As part of “living off my craft” and wanting to understand more about “vibe coding” (I hate that name), I’m going to focus on building some open-source products.

Soon I should “open up” one for managing agents to be used via email, WhatsApp, Telegram and SMS. All built with Lovable, Cursor agents (without using the IDE) and Supabase. Part of it will be open source; other parts will be “templates” using Pipefy.

If anyone has ideas for open projects they think are needed for this (I’ll release everything under the MIT License), just tell me. I think it’ll be a cool challenge to show what matters for GenAI, and this business of a product person asking coding agents to build things. :)

I translated it into English with the help of AI (Claude): it let me bring my LinkedIn posts to people who don’t read Portuguese without rewriting each one from scratch. I reviewed the translation to keep my original meaning and tone.
