Can I vibecode Pitch?
// buildable in a weekend, but real gaps stay open
The core loop is buildable, but a dependable replacement becomes a real weekend or multi-day project. For Pitch, build structured presentations with reusable blocks, comments, and polished export. The hard boundary is real-time collaboration, templates, analytics, and team content management, plus editor polish, assets, collaboration, and distribution.

They cancel out. This is where it comes down to how much the subscription annoys you.
Gioco editoriale: il verdetto dice se un agente può, l’indice se conviene.
What you build

The prompt
A weekend with a coding agent. The gaps that stay are right below, under “what you lose”.
Build a personal replacement for Pitch in an empty repository.
Use Next.js 15, TypeScript, React, Tailwind CSS, IndexedDB, and SVG; do not offer alternative stacks.
The core loop is: build structured presentations from reusable blocks on a canvas, edit text and media, support comments, and export a finished deck as SVG or PDF.
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 a fixed-size SVG canvas with zoom, pan, selection, alignment, and snapping.
Support text, rectangles, circles, images, groups, layers, and reusable components.
Add a small set of high-quality starter layouts relevant to the product category.
Implement undo, redo, autosave, and import or export of a portable project JSON file.
Export SVG and print-ready PDF without rasterizing text unnecessarily.
Keep all assets local and display missing-font warnings before export.
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 real-time multiplayer editing.
Deliberately leave out a commercial stock-asset library.
Deliberately leave out enterprise brand controls and approval workflows.
Finish by running the tests and listing the exact commands used. Prompt generated from the data on this page, not reviewed by hand yet. In English on purpose — it is the language coding agents work best in.
What you lose
- real-time collaboration, templates, analytics, and team content management
- huge template and asset libraries
- real-time multiplayer
- brand governance
- professional print workflows
Why people still pay
People still pay for Pitch because people pay for a vast ready-made design system and a collaboration surface that behaves predictably under deadline. The recurring cost buys canvas correctness, fonts, exports, templates, asset rights, multiplayer state, and accessibility, not just the visible interface.

Free alternatives
Not in the mood to build it? These already exist, they are free or open source, and we checked them one by one.
Rejected (1) — and why
- Penpot (si apre in una nuova scheda) — A design canvas can make slides one rectangle at a time, but it lacks presentation structure, playback, notes, and sane deck export.
Who has already built it
Starting from here is still vibecoding: the prompt is for when you want it exactly your way.
- Penpot (opens in a new tab) — Mature open-source collaborative design platform with SVG-native editing.
What it costs in a year
20 $/mese 240 $/anno
Listino 20 $ al mese a persona su Pitch. L’anno è dodici mesi pieni, senza sconti annuali.
