A 20-year-old NYU student ships a new app every 4–5 hours: humans design in Figma, Claude Code writes the code.
Snag answers a simple question: "Why pay for something when you can get it for free?" It's a local marketplace for free stuff — neighbors list items they no longer need, others snag them nearby. The homepage shows the pitch plainly: a phone mockup with free listings, App Store and Google Play buttons, and 3.3K App Store ratings behind it.
The story behind it is the real headline. Benjamin "Benji" Chen is a 20-year-old NYU student who has shipped 45+ apps with a ruthless system: humans do UI design in Figma while Claude Code, running in the IDE, generates the code — roughly 4 to 5 hours per app — with Supabase as the backend. Snag is the one that stuck: $30K a month, 100K users, and 9K of them converted to paid. It's vibe coding treated not as a party trick but as an assembly line.
