Has this ever happened to you?

I was working on a startup idea and didn't tell anyone about it. I started building the MVP through vibe coding, then moved to a soft launch on my local homelab. I've been working on it for about 6 months.

Then, out of nowhere, I saw an ad for a platform that is remarkably similar to what I've been building. And when I say similar, I mean almost a 1:1 match in terms of features and functionality.

The surprising part? According to them, development started only 5 months ago.

Has something like this happened to you? Did you ever spend months building something, only to discover someone else was independently building almost the exact same thing at the same time? Or Ai coder selling our ideas ?
