Summary
ResalePal went live within weeks, giving users an estimated resale price and suggested marketplaces seconds after they snap a photo and add basic details.
Gibb Holt built the app to avoid manually comparing listings across sites; it uses image recognition, AI tools and resale data to identify items and recommend pricing.
Zero coding experience did not stop Holt, who said he used AI-assisted "vibe coding" tools while juggling full-time study and a full-time job.
Hundreds of downloads and paying users in the first month suggest early traction for the app and highlight how AI is lowering barriers for first-time entrepreneurs.
