The verdict: can you vibe code Ocoya?
Build a personal subset for content generation and scheduling, but skip the full social platform integrations if you value your sanity.
Vibecoding a personal-use marketing dashboard is entirely realistic for the UI, database, and LLM text generation layers. The harsh engineering wall arrives when you attempt to maintain production OAuth tokens and publishing permissions across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and TikTok without triggering spam bans or graph API deprecation errors. For a personal clone, scope the publishing subsystem down to webhook test logs or a single mock channel rather than fighting production social platform compliance.
Estimated effort: 3-4 weeks part-time

Build guide
01Project Scaffolding & Database Schema
Initialize the Next.js project with TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and Shadcn UI. Configure Turso and better-auth schemas.
Create a new Next.js 16 project with TypeScript and Tailwind CSS v4. Install Shadcn UI primitives for buttons, dialogs, inputs, and tabs. Set up better-auth with email/password authentication linked to a Turso libSQL database. Create database tables for workspaces, users, social_accounts, posts (with fields for title, content, status, scheduled_at, channel), and media_assets. Implement the core layout with a sidebar navigation for Workspaces, Calendar, Content Creator, and Automations.02Notion-Style Copywriting & AI Generation Suite
Build the AI content generation workspace utilizing OpenAI via the Vercel AI SDK.
Build a Notion-style text editor page in Next.js using the Vercel AI SDK. Add toolbar buttons for 'Write AI Caption', 'Hashtag Presets', 'Translate', and 'Summarize'. Implement server actions that call the OpenAI API with prompt templates tailored for social media copy generation. Allow users to select target tones (professional, casual, humorous) and automatically inject generated text into the active document workspace.03Interactive Content Calendar & Post Scheduler
Implement a calendar view and post queue management interface supporting drag-and-drop mechanics.
Build a month and week calendar view component using date-fns or a lightweight calendar library. Display scheduled posts on their respective calendar cells with status badges (Draft, Scheduled, Published). Create a post scheduling modal allowing users to select channels, set publishing dates, and toggle a 'Human-like publishing delay' option. Write server-side logic to handle creating and updating scheduled post entries in the Turso database.04Workflow Automation Engine & RSS Triggers
Set up Inngest background jobs to monitor RSS feeds and generate automated social posts.
Integrate Inngest into the Next.js app to handle background automation workers. Build an automations dashboard where users can define trigger rules (e.g., 'New RSS item' or 'Scheduled trigger'). Write an Inngest background function that polls a user-defined RSS feed URL, parses new items, triggers an AI caption generation action via OpenAI, and automatically queues a new draft post in the database.05Media Asset Library & Polish
Construct the asset manager interface with stock search integrations and UI polish.
Build a Media Library page where users can view, upload, and organize images and GIFs. Integrate mock Unsplash and Giphy search widgets allowing users to select stock assets directly into their post composer. Add toast notifications for successful actions, handle loading skeletons across all async views, and run a final build test to ensure zero TypeScript or compilation errors.
