Can I vibecode Portfolio Coach?

// buildable in a weekend, but real gaps stay open

A private dashboard for holdings, family members, projections, and CSV imports is a credible weekend build. Reliable live pricing for UK funds, a ledger-correct Vanguard importer, household data boundaries, maintained tax rules, and AI advice grounded in every account turn the complete product into a multi-day project.

Gioco editoriale: il verdetto dice se un agente può, l’indice se conviene.

What you build

Import or enter family holdings, value them, inspect allocation and projections, then ask an AI for a portfolio review grounded in that data.

what you need

  • Node 22
  • OpenAI-compatible API key for AI reviews
  • optional market-data API key
  • local SQLite database

The prompt

A weekend with a coding agent. The gaps that stay are right below, under “what you lose”.

One-shot prompt EN
Build me a local-first UK family portfolio tracker like Portfolio Coach. Requirements:

- Next.js 16 App Router + TypeScript, Tailwind, better-sqlite3, and Recharts;
  run locally with `npm run dev` and bind to localhost only.
- Model household members, accounts, and UK wrappers: ISA, SIPP, GIA, pension,
  cash, bonds, and property with mortgages.
- Holdings need ticker, units, cost basis, currency, manual price, and optional
  market price. Always show the quote source and last-updated time.
- Add a CSV importer with saved column mappings and dedupe on a stable row hash.
  Include a mapping for a documented Vanguard transaction CSV example.
- Dashboard: household net worth, value by person, allocation, wrapper split,
  concentration warnings, gain/loss, and stale-price warnings.
- Add editable monthly contributions and a projection chart with retirement age,
  growth, inflation, withdrawals, and planned gifts as explicit assumptions.
- Add a UK planning page for ISA/SIPP/GIA balances and an indicative inheritance-
  tax snapshot. Keep thresholds in one dated config file and label this as
  informational, not financial or tax advice.
- Add an AI review that sends only the calculated portfolio summary to an
  OpenAI-compatible API. Put secrets in `.env.local`; work without AI too.
- Store everything in one local SQLite file and add an encrypted JSON export plus
  a dated backup command. Include a realistic seeded demo household.
- No accounts, telemetry, broker logins, automatic bank sync, or cloud sharing.
  Out of scope: regulated advice and production-grade real-time fund pricing.
- README with setup, CSV format, backup/restore, data limitations, and the exact
  assumptions used by projections and tax estimates.

Curated prompt: written and reviewed by hand for this app. In English on purpose — it is the language coding agents work best in.

What you lose

  • reliable live pricing and UK fund symbol mapping
  • ledger-backed Vanguard history import
  • secure cloud accounts, family sharing, and support access
  • maintained UK tax and estate-planning assumptions
  • hosted AI reviews with current web context

Why people still pay

The core tracker is free to start. Paid AI credits cover the convenient part: a hosted coach already connected to the household's live holdings, while the product maintains pricing, imports, security boundaries, and UK planning logic.

moat: Proprietary data Compliance and regulation Execution quality what a moat is

financial data correctness + maintained UK rules + hosted convenience
