What is VibeCodeJax?

I wanted a vibe coding meetup in Jacksonville. When it didn't exist, I started VibeCodeJax to meet other builders shipping real projects.

It's for adults, parents with kids, and anyone who learns best by building in public. No experience required — just bring your ideas and curiosity.

Meetups across Jacksonville — from Riverside to the Beaches, with Family VibeCoding Labs hosted at Jacksonville Public Library branches throughout Duval County.
