I had to build this. Something that would motivate me to get through the inevitable vibe coding friction.

Within four hours after the X post, which included gym time and lunch, I was able to:

• Brainstorm with Gemini, get a bunch of ideas and content including copy, logo, illustrations for the mascot and Sausage Fest, and the prompt.

• Add the prompt to Bolt.new. Go back and forth to replace images like the logo, made some fixes for the year (2025, instead of 2024), tweaked some layout issues. I also asked Bolt to change the Sausage Fest location to Frankfurt (lol).

• Buy the DomainSausage.com domain on Spaceship

• Deploy publicly to Netlify

The generated site included a home page with real hilarious sausage-related content, a Sausage Fest page, a blog/newsletter page, and a merchandise page. Later on, I replaced the hero graphic with an improved mascot graphic, and also replaced all the merch images with generated images that actually matched the merch description.

This is obviously a gag site and doesn’t go deeper than the pages described, but was a real experience of how quickly you can create and launch a site now, with believable content. And what a powerful force humor can be.

Unexpected Part Deux: Migrating from Bolt to Replit!

To save the extra $20/month Bolt subscription just to have the site hosted there, and instead move it over to Replit, where I could host it on my existing subscription, I needed to port the files over. Tried to ask Replit how to do it but it started a blank project.

So instead, I asked Gemini how to do this and it gave me a step by step guide: 1. Connect Bolt to Github 2. Set up repo on Github to contain these files. 3. Connect Replit to Github and import the files. Not bad. There were a few things missing that it had to import like Vite and React, as well as custom color styles. But it took only two prompts to fix that. Just pasted the link to the live site, had Replit visit it for comparison, didn’t even need a screenshot (which I’d started to do). I also had it replace a font and fix some size and spacing issues with the links in the top nav and it did it lickety-split. Too easy.
