Make an Instagram Clone - Vibecode Docs
Getting Started
Building an Instagram clone requires backend services like authentication, database, and storage. Here’s how:
- Open Vibecode and click “New Project”
- Before entering your first prompt, enable Vibecode Cloud in the project settings
- This gives you access to authentication, database, and storage features
Why Backend Features Matter
When you enable backend features, you get:
- Authentication - Users can create accounts and sign in securely
- Database - Store user data and app content in the cloud
- Storage - Save images, videos, and other files in the cloud
This means you can create real apps where people can sign into their own accounts, and all of their data is stored safely in the cloud and persists across sessions and devices.
Prompt Example
Once backend is enabled, use a prompt like:
Create an Instagram clone where users can sign up, log in, post photos with captions,
like other users' posts, and follow other users. Store all user data and posts in the database.
