Off-the-shelf app builders can run well past $1,000 to get a CRM that actually fits how you work. Ritesh Sharma took a different route.
Writing for SitePoint, Sharma walks through how he built a custom CRM using vibe coding, the practice of describing what you want to an AI and iterating until the software does it, rather than configuring a prebuilt platform or hiring a developer to write it from scratch.
The piece sits in the overlap between low-code thinking and AI-assisted development. If you’ve been putting off a custom internal tool because the build cost felt too high, this is worth a read as a proof of concept.
