Written by the checker for a first version. Paste it into Vibecode as is, or change it to make the app yours.
Build an iPhone app for people who want to find and hire local service pros, from plumbers to photographers. The main screen should show service categories, a search field, an area filter, and cards for nearby pros. Tapping a category filters the cards. Tapping a pro opens a profile with their services, service area, short bio, and work photos. Add a Request a Quote button that opens a form for the job description, location, and preferred date. Save submitted requests on the device and show a clear confirmation that this demo has not contacted anyone. Use realistic sample pros and job details. Make it feel friendly and clear, with blue accents, white backgrounds, and easy-to-read cards.
Opens Vibecode with this prompt ready. Your first build is free.
Thumbtack brings together established local pros, customers looking to hire, and years of customer reviews that a new marketplace would lack.

Vibecode builds a first version from one prompt, and the checker would start with these parts: browse sample local pros by category and area; view profiles with services and work photos; fill out a quote request and see a local confirmation. 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 Thumbtack, the checker lists these costs: Vibecode Plus ($20 a month); Apple Developer Program ($99 a year).
Thumbtack brings together established local pros, customers looking to hire, and years of customer reviews that a new marketplace would lack. A version you build yourself won't have these: Thumbtack's existing local pros; customers already seeking quotes; years of customer reviews.
