I’m an 80-year-old who first learned “coding” in the early 1980s on an Apple II. I taught myself Beginner’s All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code—BASIC. In the evenings, I built a program to swap municipal bonds, followed by another to calculate net interest cost for bidding on primary issues.
Looking back, both programs were incredibly simple—but they took months to complete. After that experience, I made a firm promise to myself: I would never attempt coding again.
That all changed in 2026.
I came across an article about “vibe coding” and discovered Rocket.new—and it’s nothing short of a miracle. I’m now nearly finished building an app to manage short-term rental properties (VRBO and Airbnb) that my wife oversees. I simply described what I wanted in plain English, and within a few hours, I had a working outline of the app.
Of course, things got more complicated when I decided to purchase a custom domain through GoDaddy and launch the app via Rocket.new. Not realizing that GoDaddy sells domain names but doesn’t host apps, I completely misconfigured the DNS settings needed to connect to Netlify. I couldn’t figure out what in hell was wrong.
So I reached out to Rocket.new support—and that’s where they really stood out. They immediately identified the issue, fixed my launch function, and got everything running smoothly.
My wife is happy and I’m impressed.
Rocket.new earns a full 5 stars out of 5—especially for their outstanding support.
