About

What this is

Vibe Corner is a marketplace for the visual work an app needs. A buyer posts a brief with a price attached, and the full amount is held on their card there and then. Makers send finished work, and the buyer picks one within seven days — at which point we collect the payment as the maker's agent and pay the maker their share. If nothing is chosen, the hold lapses and nothing is charged.

There is one transaction on this site and everything is a version of it. Want a change to a set you bought? That is a new brief, priced again, aimed at the maker who made it. We did not build a second mechanism for it, and we are not going to.

Why it exists

Generating an image stopped being the hard part. Anyone can produce a hundred screenshots in an afternoon, and next year they will be better and still free. What did not get cheaper is knowing which three of that hundred make a stranger download the app, and being able to describe the one you want precisely enough that a machine returns it.

That is a real skill and it was not obviously sellable anywhere. People who have it were either using it on their own products or explaining in interviews why their portfolio does not look like everyone else’s. This is somewhere to put a price on it instead.

It also cuts the other way. A builder can generate their own screenshots and many will. The ones who post a brief here are the ones who have looked at their own attempts and known something was off without being able to name it. Naming it is the product.

Who runs it

A small independent team in Hong Kong. We are not a marketplace built by people who have never shipped an app: the reason this exists is that the gap between finishing something and making it look worth downloading is the point where a lot of good work quietly dies.

We collect the buyer's payment as the maker's agent and pay it on. The reservation sits on the buyer's own card until they pick, and the payout goes through licensed rails — Stripe, Wise — not through us pretending to be a bank.

How we make money

We keep 15% of a brief when a set is picked. Nothing else. There is no subscription, no listing fee, no charge for posting a brief that nobody answers, and no paid placement — the feed is ordered by price, and the maker board is ordered by how often real builders chose that person.

If a brief attracts nothing, or the buyer picks nothing, no card is charged and we earn nothing. We make no money from briefs that fail, which is deliberate.

What we deliberately do not do

We do not arbitrate taste. A builder has to pick one set and the choice is theirs, even if we would have chosen differently. We do not run star ratings, because a single public number that anyone can farm tells you less than a pick rate that cannot be curated.

We do not ask makers what tools they used; it makes no difference to the brief. And we do not hold work hostage: until the buyer pays, watermarked previews are all that exist, and the originals stay with the person who made them.

It is new

There is no track record here yet. Pretending otherwise with invented numbers or borrowed testimonials would be the first thing worth distrusting about a site that handles other people’s money, so the pages you are reading show what is actually true: an empty board, a published mechanism, and terms that say what happens when things go wrong.

The parts that matter are built and tested — the hold on the card, originals that cannot leak, deadlines that resolve themselves whether or not anyone is watching. What is missing is people, and that is the one thing we cannot build.

Talk to us

The support page has the contact route. If you are a maker deciding whether this is worth your time, the craft page is the honest version of what wins a brief.
