Written by the checker for a first version. Paste it into Vibecode as is, or change it to make the app yours.
Build a web app for me to run a newsletter, aimed at independent writers and small publishers. The main screen should show my drafts, published issues, and subscriber total, with a clear Write newsletter button. Let me create and edit an issue with a subject line and formatted body, save a draft, and preview its email and public page layouts. Add a Subscribers tab with search and a simple signup form preview. Include a send preview that asks for confirmation and then shows simulated delivery results, without sending real emails. Use realistic sample issues and subscriber records. Keep the design clean and calm, with a white background, dark text, warm yellow accents, and clear navigation. Use sample data for this first build.

Vibecode builds a first version from one prompt, and the checker would start with these parts: newsletter editor with saved drafts and issue previews; subscriber list and signup form using sample data; send preview with simulated delivery results. Plan on a weekend for a working first version with its real features.
Vibecode's first build is free for new accounts that sign up with Google or Apple on the web or the iPhone app, as the account's first project: one build of about 10 minutes with up to 3 features, on sample data. After that you need credits, from a paid plan or auto-reload. For your own version of beehiiv, the checker lists these costs: Vibecode Plus ($20 a month); Stripe account (fees per payment); API key for email delivery service (that service's pricing).
beehiiv brings publishers who can recommend your newsletter and advertisers already buying newsletter placements, not just the tools to manage them. A version you build yourself won't have these: publishers in beehiiv's recommendation network; advertisers in beehiiv's ad network; paid recommendation marketplace participants.
