A prompt to build your own version of Audible

Written by the checker for a first version. Paste it into Vibecode as is, or change it to make the app yours.

Your Audible-style app, first version

Build a mobile audiobook app for listeners who choose a book with a monthly credit. The main screen should show a small catalog with cover art, titles, authors, and a visible sample credit balance. Tapping a book opens its description and a button to use a credit. For this prototype, simulate the credit and add redeemed books to My Library, preventing duplicate redemptions. Tapping a library book opens a player with play, pause, chapter selection, and saved listening progress. Use a warm cream background, dark text, and orange accents. Include realistic sample book data and an authorized sample audio file if available. Keep billing simulated for now.

Opens Vibecode with this prompt ready. Your first build is free.

What a homemade Audible won't have

Audible gives listeners licensed audiobooks from major publishers and exclusive Audible Originals that a homemade catalog would not include.

  • Licensed audiobook collection
  • Exclusive Audible Originals
