How I built ADHD Help using vibecoding — how to stay focused when working alone?

Hi everyone! My name is Viktar, the solo-founder of ADHD Help — which began as a side-project and later became a full-fledged web, iOS, and Android app for coping with ADHD symptoms.

What I'm building

"Vibecoding" process. Instead of defining, I sketch out a feature, sanity-check the idea, then document it in plain language to Cursor (my coding sidekick AI).

Tiny, testable bits. Cursor produces the first draft, I review and roll out, then gather real-user feedback before returning.

Tricks of focus. Short sprints, breathing exercises, and a tough "one feature at a time" policy keep me on track.

Why it matters

Employing ADHD is having attention run out of steam quickly and big tasks being overwhelming. Vibecoding enables me to avoid the "perfect plan or nothing" trap and send incremental increments on a consistent basis. It's not magic, but it's kept the engine running long enough for me to build the whole stack from scratch.

Questions for you

1. Solo founders: how do you manage to make time for deep-work without burning out?

2. ADHD (or other challenge) developers: what steps (or tools) actually worked for you?

3. Everybody: if you've tried out an AI pair-programmer, most surprising thing for you?

I'm happy to share more on what has and hasn't worked for me, if that's useful. Enjoy hearing your stories and suggestions!
