Chapter 7: Ship It and Win

One-line summary: Your app works on your computer. Here's how to put it on the internet and enter it in the competition.

#You Built Something. Now Show It Off.

Right now your app lives at localhost:3000 — meaning only you can see it, on your computer. To share it with the world (and submit it to the competition), you need to put it online.

The good news: Bob handles this too.

#Getting It Online

There are two easy options. Just tell Bob which one you want:

Option 1 — IPFS (decentralized, very Bitcoin-aligned):

"Help me deploy this app to IPFS so I can share a link with anyone."

IPFS (just think of it as "decentralized hosting") means your app lives on a distributed network, not one company's servers. Very fitting for a Bitcoin app.

Option 2 — Vercel (fast and easy):

"Help me deploy this to Vercel so I can get a shareable link."

Vercel is a free hosting platform. Your app gets a real URL like myapp.vercel.app that anyone can visit.

Bob will walk you through whichever you choose, step by step. You'll end up with a live URL.

#Submitting to the Competition

Once you have a live URL, you're ready to submit.

1. Go to vibecode.finance

2. Connect your OPWallet Click "Connect Wallet" on the site and approve with your OPWallet.

3. Fill out your submission:

  • App name
  • Description (what it does, why it's cool — 2-3 sentences)
  • A screenshot (take one with Ctrl + Shift + S or the Snipping Tool on Windows / Cmd + Shift + 4 on Mac)
  • Your live URL
  • Your GitHub repo link (Bob can help you create this: "Help me create a GitHub repo for this project")

4. Submit!

#Tell the World

Post about it on Twitter/X:

"Just built a Bitcoin [tip jar / voting app / whatever you made] using @opnet and @BobTheBuilder. Zero coding experience. Took me [X] hours. Check it out: [your URL] #opnetvibecode"

The community is genuinely supportive of first-timers. This tweet will get engagement.

#How Judging Works

Every week, the best submissions get reviewed live in a Twitter/X Spaces hosted by the OP_NET team.

They're looking for:

  • Creativity — did you build something interesting or unexpected?
  • Functionality — does it actually work?
  • User experience — is it nice to use?

Notice what's not on that list: "did they write good code?" Nobody cares about the code. They care about what you built.

#Prizes

Winners get prizes. Real ones. The exact amounts change week to week but they're worth competing for.

More importantly: your project lives on Bitcoin forever. Even if you don't win, you built something real that's deployed on the most trusted network in the world.

That's worth more than most people realize.

#One More Thing

If you're nervous about submitting — submit anyway.

The first time is the hardest. After you do it once, it feels normal. And the worst that happens is you don't win the first week. Build another one next week. Get better. Win eventually.

Ship the thing.
