Vibecode Pebblely
track this build5 steps, step by step0%The core loop is buildable, but a dependable replacement becomes a real weekend or multi-day project. For Pebblely, generate product-photo backgrounds from uploaded cutouts and reusable prompts. The hard boundary is specialized model tuning, fast cloud generation, and commerce workflow, plus frontier models, compute, and data.
You are building a lean indie version of Pebblely. Create the following project files first, then implement the application by following them. Keep the files updated as decisions change. Do not collapse this into a single README or prompt. ===== README.md ===== # Pebblely indie build ## Goal Build the smallest trustworthy replacement for the core Pebblely workflow for one developer or a tiny team. ## Scope Generate product-photo backgrounds from uploaded cutouts and reusable prompts, submit jobs to a user-owned model server, and keep outputs reproducible. ## Quick start 1. Install the documented dependencies. 2. Copy `.env.example` to `.env`. 3. Run the development command chosen during implementation. 4. Complete the acceptance checks in `BUILD_PLAN.md`. ## Honest limits This build deliberately does not replace: - specialized model tuning, fast cloud generation, and commerce workflow - frontier proprietary models - hosted GPU capacity - licensed training data - moderation and fast global delivery If those capabilities are essential, use ComfyUI instead of pretending the gap is solved. ===== AGENTS.md ===== # Agent instructions - Optimize for a working, understandable weekend build. - Prefer the fewest moving parts that satisfy the brief. - Do not invent cryptography, security guarantees, APIs, or compliance claims. - Keep secrets out of source control and logs. - Add focused tests for destructive, security-sensitive, and data-loss paths. - Run the project checks before declaring the build complete. - Record any deliberate shortcut in the README under "Tradeoffs". ===== BUILD_PLAN.md ===== # Build plan ## Original build brief Build a personal replacement for Pebblely in an empty repository. Use Python 3.12, FastAPI, SQLite, ComfyUI as a local worker, and a small React frontend; do not offer alternative stacks. The core loop is: generate product-photo backgrounds from uploaded cutouts and reusable prompts, submit jobs to a user-owned model server, and keep outputs reproducible. Make the first run work locally with one documented command. Store all user data locally by default and make export straightforward. Put secrets in .env, ship .env.example, and never commit credentials. Create prompt, negative-prompt, seed, dimensions, model, and workflow controls. Submit jobs only to the local ComfyUI endpoint configured in .env. Record exact generation parameters and workflow JSON beside every output. Build a searchable contact sheet with compare, favorite, annotate, and rerun actions. Support local image-to-image and mask inputs without uploading them elsewhere. Show estimated VRAM needs and fail clearly when a workflow or model is missing. Include clear empty, loading, success, and recoverable error states. Add input validation, safe filenames, and graceful handling of unavailable APIs. Write focused tests for the core transformation and one end-to-end happy path. Create a README with setup, architecture, permissions, data location, and backup steps. Do not add accounts, billing, telemetry, analytics, or a hosted control plane. Deliberately leave out training a new frontier model. Deliberately leave out copying a vendor's proprietary model or dataset. Deliberately leave out public generation hosting and moderation. Finish by running the tests and listing the exact commands used. ## Required capabilities - GPU-capable machine or user-supplied generation API - ComfyUI - model files with appropriate licenses - local storage ## Delivery order 1. Scaffold the smallest runnable application and document its commands. 2. Implement the primary data model and core workflow. 3. Add validation, safe failure states, and persistence. 4. Cover the critical path with automated tests. 5. Exercise a clean install from the README and fix every missing step. ## Done when - A new user can go from clone to first successful workflow using only the README. - The core workflow works without paid infrastructure unless the brief requires it. - Tests cover the highest-risk behavior. - Known limitations are explicit rather than hidden. ===== .env.example ===== # Copy to .env and document every variable when it is introduced. # Never put real credentials in this file. APP_ENV=development # Add only values required by the selected implementation.

People still pay for Pebblely because the product value is the model and compute fleet, not the prompt box around it. The recurring cost buys GPU procurement, model licensing, safety filters, queueing, storage, and rapid model replacement, not just the visible interface.

Vibecode Pebblely
Kinda. The core of Pebblely is buildable in a weekend with the prompt on this page, but there are real gaps: specialized model tuning, fast cloud generation, and commerce workflow, frontier proprietary models. Read the honest list above before committing.
How much does Pebblely cost?
Pebblely costs about $19/month (Basic, checked 2026-07-31), which is $228 per year.
What do I lose by replacing Pebblely?
Honestly: specialized model tuning, fast cloud generation, and commerce workflow; frontier proprietary models; hosted GPU capacity; licensed training data; moderation and fast global delivery. If any of those are load-bearing for you, keep paying.
Is there an open-source alternative to Pebblely?
Yes: Krita AI Diffusion (Mask the cutout and generate reusable product backgrounds in layers; slower, but not credit-shaped.) NodeTool (Remove the background, keep the product, generate the scene and save the workflow for the next SKU.) The prompt is for when you want it exactly your way.
