That's fine… but also slightly terrifying. Not trying to gatekeep, I actually think it's amazing more people are building, but there are a few really basic things that are getting missed, and they can bite you hard later. For context: I've been writing/debugging code for 20+ years and spent a chunk of time working specifically on performance + security for production systems. Most of the issues I've seen weren't \"advanced\"… they were just overlooked. Anyway, if you're about to launch something, here's a quick sanity check: 1. You need to protect yourself (not just your app) If you're collecting any kind of user data, you're now in legal territory (GDPR, etc.). Most people don't think about this until it's too late. At minimum: privacy policy some idea of how you're storing/handling data not doing anything obviously dodgy with user info You don't need to be perfect, but you do need to not be reckless. 2. Basic security posture (quick win) You can actually get a decent baseline just by prompting your AI tool properly. Something like: \"Review my app as a security specialist and make sure I have strong security headers and a solid baseline security posture\" Takes 2 minutes and will usually fix obvious gaps. 3. Check against real security standards Headers alone aren't enough. You want to at least loosely align with stuff like OWASP. That's where things like: SQL injection XSS auth issues …start getting picked up. Prompt: \"Review my app against OWASP standards and highlight vulnerabilities\" 4. Make sure you're not leaking anything stupid This happens all the time with AI-generated code. Watch for: .env values ending up in frontend code API responses returning too much data secrets in logs Prompt: \"Check my app for any credential or sensitive data leaks in frontend or API routes\" 5. API keys in frontend = game over If your key is in the browser, assume it's already been taken. Fix: move it server-side use a proxy lock it down Prompt: \"Ensure no API keys are exposed in frontend code or network calls\" That's just the basics. There's a lot more (performance being the next big one), but honestly if you just do the above you're already ahead of most early-stage launches I see. I actually built a tool for myself to catch this stuff because I got tired of manually reviewing sites. It checks security, performance, SEO, accessibility, etc. Been using it to improve my own projects. If anyone's interested I can share it - not trying to spam links here. Also thinking of doing some live site reviews on TikTok/YouTube (basically tearing sites apart in public). If people are up for that, I'll set something up.

My younger brother Ben is 29 and lives with an ultra-rare condition called TUBB4A-related leukodystrophy. Over time, he's lost the ability to speak, walk, and use his hands. That meant traditional communication devices and commercial apps never really worked for him. Eye-gaze, head-tracking, and sensors were unreliable, and Brain-Computer Interfaces weren't an option. When Ben moved in with us, I wanted to give him a way to communicate independently. His most reliable input is two head-controlled buttons, so I started building custom software designed around that simple setup. Fast-forward a year of vibe coding, and now Ben can access a whole hub of apps I've made for him—everything from games to streaming to communication tools. The newest addition is a mirrored Discord app with a large, simple interface. For the first time in his life, Ben is able to send direct messages and join family chats at his own pace. Seeing him light up while taking part in conversations has been life changing. It's something that just didn't exist before, and building it custom has been a total game changer for all of us.

Free, browser, no install. Built for Vibe Jam 2026. The build: 30 days, solo + Claude. Now live in production: 4-region anycast, mobile support, telemetry, in-game help, FTUE. Stack Client: Three.js (WebGL), vanilla JS, single HTML entry, all visuals procedural (zero external assets: no models, no textures, no sprite sheets). Server: Node.js + ws (WebSocket), authoritative game state, 60Hz tick. Audio: All sound effects are procedurally synthesized via the Web Audio API, down to the boost burnout sweep and the elimination crunches. The BGM itself is external .ogg tracks streamed through HTMLAudioElement. Deploy: Cloudflare Pages (client, free unlimited bandwidth) + Fly.io 4-region anycast (game server, ~$8/mo). AI: Claude throughout. Roughly 1% Sonnet, 80% Opus 4.6, and 19% Opus 4.7. All of it working from plan-first docs that I'd written by hand before starting any implementation. Process Before any code, I wrote a PRD and a DESIGN doc by hand to capture the gameplay, network protocol, and visual language. These docs were then \"locked\". Heavy emphasis on the quotations. Many of the decisions in those docs actually shifted as the build surfaced assumptions I'd gotten wrong, and recognizing when to deviate was where my expertise mattered most. If the AI adhered too strictly to the original docs, we'd have continued down paths that no longer made sense. If it ignored them entirely, we'd have re-visited every decision every session. The right balance lived in the middle, and keeping it there required active human judgment. I broke the build into 14 numbered phases (rendering → movement → basic gameplay → multiplayer → bots → UI → mobile → audio → polish → FTUE → deploy → analytics → final polish → submission). Each phase was a structured implementation pass. The AI did most of the typing; I reviewed every diff and ran, judged, and did minor polish adjustments on each phase despite having dedicated polish phases. Persistent memory files kept the AI oriented across sessions: rules learned, project state, and references to where things lived in the code. What AI did well Boilerplate-heavy Three.js work (instanced geometry, shader uniforms, scene setup). Translating game logic between client prediction and server-authoritative state. Audio synthesis from natural-language descriptions. Implementing the FTUE / hint system from a key-list spec. Settings UI, telemetry pipeline, region picker, mobile touch controls. What needed me Feel. The AI is happy to implement RTT measurement and lag compensation, but only a human can sit down with the deployed game, notice that the boost feels worse on production than on localhost, and get an actual headache after 30 minutes. That subjective evaluation is irreducibly human. Catching production bugs. I shipped to production with a bandwidth leak that made every idle client fire 12 HTTPS region probes every 5 seconds for their entire session, roughly 4.4 GB per month per idle client. I spotted it post-deploy by reading the network panel out of curiosity, and the AI hadn't flagged it in any of the code reviews leading up to that deploy. You must be aware of what the AI is doing or it will cost you. Literally. General debugging. The AI is excellent at implementing well-defined changes, but it can lock onto a wrong conjecture about the cause of a bug and keep digging deeper into it rather than questioning the premise. Several times in this build, the AI was confidently chasing the wrong cause, and the only way out of the loop was for me to step back and redirect: \"you're assuming X, but we haven't actually verified X. Let's check that first.\" Without that human override, those sessions would have continued indefinitely. Stopping scope creep. The AI is always willing to add more features and abstractions, and the discipline of saying \"we don't need that yet\" has to come from me.

My Vibe Coding Stack and learnings: Coding: Cursor For the record, I don't know how to code, so I used Cursor to build this game with Godot engine, I'm pleasantly surprised how good Opus 4.6, GPT5.3 is at Godot vibe coding, and I didnt have to use any MCP server or touch the Godot Game Editor other than previewing/exporting the game or copying error messages. Art: Custom Art Gen tool with Google Nano Banana API I had to vibe code a custom art generation tool (using Google Nano Banana) to generate most of the art assets for the game. Though I still had to use photoshop to manually edit some of the art assets to clean it up and resize proportions. Music: Suno All music in the game are generated with Suno, I'm amazed at the quality of the soundtracks generated by Suno. Making this game took quite a fair bit of tokens but it was all worth it.

My stack was simple: Next.js, Supabase for the DB/auth, a sprinkle of Tailwind, and lots of help from Cursor. For a while, things flowed. I had most of the core screens built, some logic in place, and the UI didn’t scream “generated.” But then I hit that wall. OAuth login (especially Gmail) started breaking inconsistently. Stripe integration worked locally, then failed in prod. State was randomly resetting. And the worst part? GPT responses were confident but subtly wrong. Debugging hallucinated logic became a full-time job. I spent five full days deep inside cursor trying every prompt pattern I knew. Built helper functions. Logged everything. Rebuilt flows twice. Still broken. That’s when I remembered a post I’d seen here, where someone hired a freelancer to handle the “last 20%” the part where the vibes run out and the edge cases pile up. I’d dismissed it at the time. But now? I was out of energy, not out of ideas. So I gave it a shot. I went on Fiverr hesitantly, tbh. Wasn’t sure I’d trust a random person with my codebase. What if I’m paying someone just to Google the same stuff I already tried? Or worse, break more things? But I found a React dev with a decent track record, good reviews, and some previous SaaS experience. I reached out, explained the issues, and shared a private repo (after cleaning up creds and writing a short README). The first 24h weren’t magic. He misunderstood some flows, and I realized I hadn’t explained my logic well enoughthings like why I handled state in a certain way or what “done” actually looked like for me. So we messaged back and forth. I sent a Loom. He asked smart follow-ups. At some point, i feel more like pair programming than outsourcing. It took three days instead of two, but when the PR landed… it worked. All the OAuth edge cases were handled. Stripe was live. And best of all the comments in the code actually made sense. Not AI nonsense, but human context. I’m still a huge fan of vibe-coding. I built 80% of the product with AI + momentum alone. But trying to brute-force the last 20% nearly broke me. Now I get it.

It feels like building a technical debt time bomb. How are you actually ensuring code quality? I've seen AI agents take shady shortcuts just to get a test to pass: like mocking a dependency into oblivion or wrapping a problematic block in a generic try/catch.

But recently, we were tasked with a \"top-down\" AI-driven project. We had to use agents as much as humanly possible to build a substantial feature. I just finished a 14K Lines of Code implementation in C# .NET 8. After a few horrific failures, I've realized that the media's version of \"everyone is a dev now\" is absolute BS. The \"Vibe Coding\" Trap The \"Vibe Coding\" trend suggests you can just prompt your way to a product. Sure, you can do that for a Todo app or a Tic-Tac-Toe game. But for a robust, internal tool with dozens interacting classes? Vibing is a recipe for disaster. The second an AI agent is allowed to make an assumption—the second you stop guardrailing its architectural choices—it starts to break things. It introduces \"hallucinated\" patterns that don't match company standards, ignores edge cases, and builds a \"Frankenstein\" codebase that looks okay on the outside but is a nightmare of technical debt on the inside. How I actually got it to work: The \"Architect-First\" Method To get production-grade results, I couldn't just \"prompt.\" I had to act as a Principal Architect and a Drill Sergeant. My workflow looked like this: The 2,000-Line Blueprint: Before a single line of code was written, I used the AI to help me formalize a massive, detailed implementation plan. We're talking specific design patterns (Flyweight, Scoped State), naming conventions, and exact technology stacks. Modular TDD: I broke the project into small, testable phases. We wrote the tests first. If the agent couldn't make the test pass, it meant my specification was too vague. The \"DoD\" Gate: I implemented a strict Definition of Done (DoD) for every sub-task. E.gl If the AI didn't include industry-leading XML documentation (explaining the \"Why,\" not just the \"What\") or if it violated a SOLID principle, the task was rejected. The Reality Check AI is an incredible power tool, but it doesn't replace the need to know what you're doing. In fact, you have to be a better architect to use AI successfully at scale. You have to define: What coding principles to follow. Which design patterns to implement. How memory should be managed (e.g., using Span or Memory for performance). How to prevent race conditions in concurrent loops. If you don't know these things, you aren't \"coding,\" you're just generating future outages. AI doesn't make \"everyone a dev.\" It makes the Senior Developer an Orchestrator. If you don't put in the hours for planning, specification, and rigid guardrailing, the AI will just help you build a bigger mess, faster.", "top_comments": [] }, { "id": "1sy5qan", "title": "Vibe coded a cosy game where you fly around a tiny globe with a dark ending", "subreddit": "r/vibecoding", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/vibecoding/comments/1sy5qan/", "source_url": "https://redlib.catsarch.com/r/vibecoding/comments/1sy5qan/", "fetched": "2026-05-07", "author": "WeAreFictional", "date": "9d ago", "upvotes": 352, "percent_upvoted": null, "comment_count": 99, "body": "Hello folks!

Some fetch financial data, others perform analysis on the fetched data. And the others are responsible for sending notifications to users. Database and authentication is handled by Supabase (Clerk was buggy when I last used it... could be skills issue) 100% vibe-coded.

Insights into the ETFs and institutions that hold any stock Five-year trend analysis, plus a previous-year summary Why I built it: Retail investing has surged thanks to the likes of Robinhood, but the truth is that many investors still don't read (or fully understand) a public company's financial reports.

New to this group, but not to vibe coding.. I've shipped a few dozen functional apps at this point (real products with paying customers), so I've gotten familiar with both the backend chaos and the frontend conversion side of this workflow. I've launched both B2B and B2C AND web and mobile apps.. so I've dealt with just about every problem I could have in the process. My background is in ML and data science (Columbia grad), so I can appreciate the coding side of things, but the first few \"vibe\" builds were still pretty rough. Vibe coding feels like magic until you're mass debugging four hours later with no idea what broke. Here's what actually works for me using Cursor and Claude Code (my personal go-to stack after testing most of what's out there): 1. Self-updating rules files Have Claude update its own .cursorrules or CLAUDE.md file as you build. Every time you solve a tricky bug, establish a pattern, or realize something about your stack, make it document that rule in real time. The difference is massive: your AI gets smarter about YOUR specific codebase instead of starting from zero context every session. After a few days of building, your rules file becomes this living document that prevents the same mistakes from ever happening twice. Another big benefit of this: you can start to actually standardize HOW the LLMs edit your code. i.e. branding practices, style of code, general update standards 2. MCPs for context, not just convenience This one's underrated. Set up MCP servers for GitHub, your file system, databases, and any APIs you're working with. When Claude can actually READ your existing code, pull real data, and reference actual documentation instead of hallucinating what it thinks is there, you eliminate a huge chunk of bugs before they start. The initial setup takes maybe 20 minutes and saves hours of \"why is it referencing a function that doesn't exist?\" AND this gets very easy to do each time you launch a new build, which is also important to me when the topic is \"convenience\" of vibe coding. 3. Checkpoint before every \"quick fix\" The moment you think \"this should be easy\" — stop and git commit. I'm serious. Endless debugging loops almost always start with a \"small change\" that cascades into something unrecognizable. When you have clean checkpoints, you can always roll back to working code instead of playing archaeological dig with your own project. I commit constantly now, even when it feels excessive. I've always been an avid \"oversaver\" whenever I would make small edits to documents or codes or video games so this came easy to me.. But after working with others I learned this is not the same for everyone. 4. Force explicit reasoning before code Before Claude writes anything, prompt it with something like: \"Before writing any code, explain your approach and identify what could break.\" Both Cursor and Claude Code have very clear, easy-to-use thinking/planning modes that allow you to force the LLM to walk through it's approach for diving into code. This single habit catches so many issues upstream. Without it, you get confident-sounding code that quietly breaks three other things. With it, you can spot flawed logic before it turns into 47 files of interconnected spaghetti that you'll never untangle. 5. Scope lock aggressively Always specify: \"Only modify [specific file]. Do not touch anything else unless you ask first.\" Without this, Claude will \"helpfully\" refactor a dozen files to fix one bug, introduce new dependencies, and change patterns you intentionally set up. Scope creep is a legitimate silent killer of vibe coding. The tighter you constrain each task, the more predictable (and debuggable) the output. Otherwise it edits too many existing systems into AI slop that breaks and becomes unreadable after a few iterations. The goal isn't to \"vibe\" less, it's to vibe sustainably so you're not mass debugging what you just mass created.

He’s nonverbal and quadriplegic, and for years the only way he could communicate was by turning his head left for “no” and right for “yes.” Most tech failed him: Eye tracking? Doesn’t work because he has nystagmus. Head tracking? He can’t make precise movements. Brain-computer interface? He doesn’t qualify and we don’t want something invasive. So for a long time, Ben was essentially locked in, with no way to truly express himself or interact with the world. When my wife and I took over his care, I decided to try something radical: vibe coding. I have zero formal programming experience. But with ChatGPT as my coding partner, I started building — no rigid roadmap, no overthinking, just iterating fast and solving problems as they came up. Here’s what we’ve made together so far: A phrase board so Ben could communicate simple ideas. A way for him to choose his own TV shows and movies. A predictive text keyboard so he can type whatever he wants. Eight custom games designed specifically for his abilities. And just this week, a search function built into his keyboard! Ben uses two buttons mounted on a headband — one for scanning, one for selecting. With those two inputs, he can now type a query and search images or YouTube videos on his own. Watching him light up as he finds his favorite things has been mind-blowing. The wildest part? None of this would’ve happened without the vibe coding mindset. Instead of waiting for a perfect solution or trying to become a “real developer,” I just started building. ChatGPT filled in the gaps, helped me debug, and gave me the confidence to keep pushing forward. Vibe coding literally gave my brother a voice, games to play, and a way to explore the world again. It’s proof that you don’t need formal training to make something life-changing — just a problem you care deeply about and the willingness to iterate until it works.

I run a journaling app, solo founder, vibe coded the entire thing. Today I was checking my Stripe dashboard and noticed something wrong. A user had two active subscriptions on the same account. They'd tried to upgrade from my $15/month tier to the $30/month Pro tier. But instead of converting the existing subscription, my checkout flow just created a brand new second subscription alongside the first one. So they were paying $30 total but stuck on the lower-tier limits. Hitting the daily entry cap. Seeing a modal telling them to \"upgrade to Pro\" even though they'd already tried to do exactly that. They hadn't emailed me yet. I caught it before they did. The bug was embarrassingly simple. My create-checkout endpoint had zero checks for whether the customer already had an active subscription. It just opened a new checkout session every time. Classic vibe code move: build the happy path, ship it, move on. No edge cases. No \"what if they click upgrade twice.\" No \"what if Stripe already has an active sub for this customer.\" Just vibes I refunded the duplicate charge in full, upgraded them to Pro manually, and emailed them that this month is on the house for the hassle. Didn't charge the prorated difference. The $15 I ate is probably the cheapest trust-building move I'll ever make. \"They had a bug and gave me the month free\" is a story someone tells a friend. \"They refunded the duplicate and billed me correctly\" is just accounting... And nobody retells accounting. Then I fixed the actual bug. The endpoint now checks for existing active subscriptions before creating a new one, and redirects to the customer portal for plan changes. The kind of defensive code that should have been there from day one but wasn't because I was moving fast and it \"worked in testing.\" Total time from noticing the issue to full resolution: about 20 minutes. Here's my takeaway after vibe coding an entire product for months: there are features you can vibe code and features you absolutely cannot. UI, landing pages, blog layouts, onboarding flows, all fair game. Iterate fast, break things, fix them later. But billing, auth, and anything that touches money? Those need to be written like someone is actively trying to break them. Not because your users are malicious, but because edge cases in payment flows don't show up as UI bugs. They show up as trust violations... And you only get one shot at trust. Curious what other vibe coders have shipped that came back to bite them. Especially anything involving Stripe or payments.

I do not normally believe that one trivially simple trick changes the outcome of a real project. The \"one quote that changed my life\" genre is nonsense to me, and I'd be skeptical reading this if someone else wrote it. But AI work is structurally different. The medium is effortless generation and slop, and small process choices seem to compound far more than they should. The trick: Gemini in Canvas mode, one-shot. Gemini is mediocre at coding and at most other things, but in Canvas, asked to one-shot something visual or stylistic, the outputs are surprisingly strong, and the art styles you can pull out of it are ones the other frontier models simply won't give you. I assume that's downstream of training data. The method is: open ten tabs of gemini 3.1 canvas, run the same prompt in parallel, pick the one that hits, iterate on it with the other models. That's the whole thing. Every visual decision in the game went through that loop: the main city scene, the UI, the juicy micro-animations, the three.js offices. Ten variants, pick the strongest, hand the winner to Codex to wire it into the project, then sometimes pass it through Opus for refinement (lighting was the big one). The selection step is doing more work than people give it credit for. Most of the gain isn't any individual model being smart. It's refusing to settle for the first output. Run wide, select aggressively, integrate with Codex. One more thing everything you see in the game is 100% AI generated. No external assets, no asset packs, no stock art. The only exceptions are a few AI-generated images and some AI-generated 3D robots.", "top_comments": [ { "score": 8, "author": "rash3rr", "date": "1d ago", "text": "The parallel prompt selection method is underrated.

The Beginning (Early 2023) When ChatGPT was just months old and we were getting the first decent TTS/STT models, we had an audacious vision: build 24x7 AI companions for desktop/laptop. This was before MCP existed, before LLMs could even generate structured outputs. We were VERY early. Our first version was a desktop app - an AI companion that could: See everything on your screen Play games with you Watch movies together Use extendable skills Think of it as a cool desktop widget/game for hobbyists. In 2023, this was revolutionary. First Reality Check: Steam Rejection We tried distributing through Steam. Their response? We couldn't publish unless we proved we owned ALL the training data for our AI models. Literally no AI company in the world could meet that requirement. So we self-hosted and started sharing on Reddit. People loved it - TechCrunch even covered us as \"the future.\" But requiring screen access, microphone access, and system permissions raised privacy concerns. We decided to pivot. The Pivot to Web (Character.AI's Opportunity) Character.AI had just blown up and gone PG-13, leaving many users wanting mature content (violence in fiction/gaming, etc.). With Llama redefining open source AI, we saw our opportunity. We pivoted Moemate to a web platform where people could create AI characters with: Multi-modal capabilities (see, hear, talk, reply with images) Multi-medium support (AR/VR compatibility) Marketplace of extendable skills Lifelike voices and 3D avatars Character \"selfies\" Growth: The Good and The Painful Initial traction was strong with power users on Reddit. But after the first few months, growth stalled. We pushed hard on TikTok and built an ambassador program. Then came our three viral moments. Each time: Our self-hosted backend broke Long queues formed Instead of riding the wave, we focused on \"building scalable infrastructure\" We lost the momentum every single time Classic mistake: prioritizing backend perfection over growth momentum. The Death Spiral One Tuesday morning, everything stopped working. Our domain moemate.io was on hold. Plot twist: Google had sold their domain business to Squarespace. After THREE WEEKS of bureaucratic hell, we learned the real reason - \"objectionable user-generated content.\" Everything was tied to that domain: Years of SEO Payment processors iOS/Android apps User trust By the time we knew what happened, it was over. 6 million users, 1 million+ MAU, $1M ARR - gone. The Deeper Problems We Ignored Looking back, the domain issue was just the final blow. Our real failures: Feature Creep Over Focus: We kept adding features (memory, more models, skills, AR/VR) instead of improving core experiences like latency and depth Identity Crisis: We were stuck between: NSFW users (we didn't want this but couldn't escape it) Fantasy/roleplay enthusiasts (our target) Utility/productivity users (attracted by our technical features) Mobile Disaster: We retrofitted our web app for mobile instead of building native. No proper conversion flow, cluttered UI, poor UX. Growth vs Product Disconnect: We treated growth as separate from product instead of integrating them Hard-Earned Lessons On Pivoting: Don't be precious about existing features - cut ruthlessly Optimize for your new platform (we should've rebuilt for mobile) Pick ONE audience and serve them well On Growth: Growth is waves - when you catch one, RIDE IT Never prioritize \"scaling infrastructure\" over viral momentum Growth and product must be integrated, not separate streams On Product: Depth > breadth (improve core features, don't just add more) Consumer apps live or die on design and UX Focus is a gift - use it On Platform Risk: Own backup domains on different registrars Serve APIs on secondary host…", "top_comments": [] }, { "id": "1rq4r3y", "title": "Two groups of people I wish would stop holding themselves back.", "subreddit": "r/vibecoding", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/vibecoding/comments/1rq4r3y/", "source_url": "https://redlib.catsarch.com/r/vibecoding/comments/1rq4r3y/", "fetched": "2026-05-07", "author": "Relevant-Positive-48", "date": "Mar 10 '26", "upvotes": 158, "percent_upvoted": 95, "comment_count": 85, "body": "For context I am a professional software engineer with 28 years of experience who has been vibe coding for a bit more than a year and loving what's now possible.

From my observations there are, primarily, two groups of people I wish would stop holding themselves back. The first group is comprised of experienced software engineers who are looking for reasons that AI fails (I'm not talking about objectively observing and working with AI's limitations). They're attached to the work they've put over years/decades to get really good at a high value skill. It's stopping or slowing them down from becoming AI first engineers, and other engineers who feel similarly are looking to them for validation. (I'm not immune to this - I continue to push myself hard to be AI first and I don't always succeed). AI has gotten good over the last year. Really really good. Allow yourself to discover what it's capable of. You've been successful in your career by constantly learning and adapting Don't stop now - your career is not (yet) in danger. The second group involves tech savvy vibe coders who are building up a storm and belittling software engineering skills to various extents as a justification to not learn them. Like with the previous group others who feel similarly are looking to them for validation and it's stopping or slowing them down from building skills that can empower them to make much better software. I am truly glad that many more people who want to make software are now able to do so but, as I implied above, the shunning of knowledge has never been a winning strategy and I expect that critical thinking, problem framing and solving, pattern recognition and large systems reasoning skills will remain relevant in software development for quite some time.

I pick a random 300KB fragment of the text, find the nearest newlines to get valid CSV rows, and only parse that tiny bit. thats the game link if you wanna give it a shot and try to beat me : https://guesstheproductprice.vercel.app/ looking for ideas to make it even cooler, what could i add next?", "top_comments": [ { "score": 51, "author": "StaticFanatic3", "date": "Mar 08 '26", "text": "Ever heard of a database?" }, { "score": 4, "author": "JoshiMinh", "date": "Mar 09 '26", "text": "Nah just more problem with sql, migrations and stuffs, sometimes no database and still works fine is a good point, especially for a small game like this." }, { "score": 3, "author": "Dovahkciin", "date": "Mar 09 '26", "text": "20h after, and due to the urge to make a global leaderboard, you guys won, im going to migrate to a database -" }, { "score": 6, "author": "Burden2Bare", "date": "Mar 08 '26", "text": "he said he wanted it free" }, { "score": 2, "author": "Nassirk", "date": "Mar 09 '26", "text": "Supabase" }, { "score": 1, "author": "Dovahkciin", "date": "Mar 08 '26", "text": "free options exist actually, its more about trying to not have external dependencies -" }, { "score": 35, "author": "Dovahkciin", "date": "Mar 08 '26", "text": "yes, but as i said in the post its a project i made in basically 2h dont want to make it prod ready or whatever thats a GAME, im not going to config a database for a project like that bro" }, { "score": 48, "author": "StaticFanatic3", "date": "Mar 08 '26", "text": "Your solution is much more complicated and time consuming than making a database" } ] }, { "id": "1l5i4gg", "title": "I built an AI dev platform that ships real full-stack apps in minutes — with built-in DB, auth, AI, and storage", "subreddit": "r/vibecoding", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/vibecoding/comments/1l5i4gg/", "source_url": "https://redlib.catsarch.com/r/vibecoding/comments/1l5i4gg/", "fetched": "2026-05-07", "author": "Efficient_Olive_8888", "date": "Jun 07 '25", "upvotes": 147, "percent_upvoted": 88, "comment_count": 46, "body": "I've been a developer for 10 years now, and in the past 5 months I've been working really hard on building an all in one platform, for builders, from builders.

I knew nothing about Swift, iOS development, or the Apple ecosystem. Yet I just shipped a native iOS photo and video editor that's hit 10k+ downloads since launching on December 8th. 100% of the code was written by Claude. Why I built this I was tired of video editors that were either ad-infested, slapped watermarks on everything, or wanted a subscription. Beyond that, even the decent editors were time sinks, endless fiddling with effects, transitions, and filters just to make a simple reel. So I built my own. What the app does It's a fully native iOS app with features you'd expect from paid editors: Infinite undo/redo (built on event sourcing architecture) Filters, effects, transitions, aspect presets Audio library and speed controls Sophisticated draggable timeline with thumbnail previews Auto-reel: select up to 15 photos/videos, pick a mood, and the app automatically generates a reel with smart filters, transitions, effects, and background music matched to that mood The auto-reel feature has been a game changer for my own use. My workflow with Claude I used Claude Code for everything. Here's what worked for me: 1. Web search before building Before implementing any feature, I asked Claude to search for how others approach the problem and what best practices exist. For the undo/redo system, my initial design used a command pattern with undo/redo methods. It looked promising but became complex fast. After brainstorming with Claude and researching approaches, we landed on event sourcing: every action is recorded as an event, and undo/redo simply replays events. Much simpler. 2. Dual-Claude PRD reviews Once Claude completed a plan, I had it write a PRD in markdown. Then I opened a second terminal and asked that Claude to review the PRD for logical inconsistencies and bad UX patterns. Caught so many issues before writing a single line of code. 3. Enforced code quality Here's the thing: unless you explicitly care about code quality, Claude won't. I set up pre-commit hooks running SwiftLint, Periphery (dead code detection), and a duplicate code detector. This kept the codebase clean, files lean as it grew. The max file length I allowed was 500 lines and the max function length I allowed was 60 lines. This helped in keeping context in control. 4. Git flow for code reviews I worked in feature branches and used Claude Code to review PRs before merging. Helped catch issues and kept main stable. 5. Organized repo structure When Claude searches your codebase, you want it finding relevant code quickly. I periodically asked Claude to rethink the repo organization. Time consuming but absolutely worth it. It pays dividends as the project grows. What surprised me The good: Claude's UX intuition saved me constantly. As a backend dev, I don't have great instincts for design. I'd ask Claude to assess screens from a UX perspective and suggest improvements with reasoning. The results were genuinely impressive. The frustrating: Deep technical issues sometimes sent Claude into loops. The fix? Ask it to add print logs, run the scenario, share the output. Debug info unsticks it quickly. On models: I had a rough time with Opus 4.1 hitting limits early. Sonnet 4 was okay. Opus 4.5 has been the sweet spot! Capable and reliable. Timeline About 2.5 months total. Weekdays 1-2 hours, weekends 7-8 hours. What I'd do differently Start with the plan-to-PRD workflow immediately (I only adopted it after things got messy) Invest more in periodic refactoring—keep files and functions short since context length matters Reuse my lint rules on every future project, they're gold The app EditorPro on the App Store A couple of colleagues saw what I built, got impressed by what Claude can do, bought subscriptions, and are now building their own apps.

Just open-sourced my go-to template that's 100% vibecoded. Would love your thoughts and feedback! My Vibecoding Journey Over the last 6 months, I've been deep in the vibecoding rabbit hole and it's been an incredible learning experience. One of my apps (glenn-explore) unexpectedly went viral and had over 90,000 people try it out. Wild stuff! Taking a Different Path While most vibecoders seem to go with the typical Vercel + Supabase combo, I decided to take a different route. I've been self-hosting a .NET backend with SQLite on a $5 DigitalOcean droplet, and honestly? It's worked amazingly well. There's something really satisfying about going back to the \"primitives\" and understanding how everything fits together. After experimenting with tons of different languages, frameworks, and tools, I think I've found my personal silver bullet stack: .NET Backend (self-hosted) Next.js (self-hosted) Postgres (Supabase) Claude 4 is absolutely incredible with C#. The established patterns just make projects scale so much better over time. The Template Experiment Here's where it gets interesting. I've been playing around with MCPs and created an integration with a kanban tool I use. It works so well that I decided to try an experiment: let Claude Opus plan an entire starter template, then have Sonnet implement it. The process was: Opus created all the tasks and broke everything down Sonnet implemented each task step by step I didnt write a single row of code by hand, just guided the LLM This structured approach where the LLM both creates tasks AND implements them has been game-changing for me. What's in the Template The result is a 100% vibecoded starter template that includes: 🔐 Authentication (ASP.NET Core Identity + JWT + OTP) 📧 Email (Resend integration) 📁 File Upload (Cloudflare R2) 🤖 LLM Integration (OpenRouter) ⚡ Real-time (SignalR/WebSockets) 📊 Analytics & metrics 🎨 Modern UI (Next.js 15 + React 19 + shadcn/ui) Repo: https://github.com/WilliamAvHolmberg/vibecodementor Is it perfect? Absolutely not. There are definitely bugs and things that need attention before going live. But it's a solid foundation that I've been using as my starting point for every new project. Building in Public I decided to open-source this because I genuinely believe you learn so much more by building in public. I want to create a space where we can all share our vibecoding approaches and learn from each other. I'd love to hear what you think about the repository and approach.

Story of my release I had this idea for a while: a \"Would You Rather?\" party game where the questions are generated by AI. On Dec 26 it finally clicked that New Year's is the perfect moment for it — and because App Review can take ~3 days, I had to submit by Dec 28. So I started on Dec 26 (evening), worked a few hours on Dec 27 between family time, and submitted around 2am on Dec 28. The app includes onboarding, the core gameplay loop, on-device AI question generation, an end-of-game \"psych profile\" based on answers, paywall + IAP subscriptions, sharing (export a question/profile as an image), design polish, App Store Connect setup, and screenshots. Tools I'm using Codex + Claude Code cooperating together, working in parallel on the same codebase (at this speed I didn't even bother creating git workspaces, or even committing changes — just worked in parallel on different parts of the app) Ghostty, NeoVim, a 4-terminal-window setup with 2 parallel coding agents My pre-defined agentic dev rules for iOS development AXe CLI to let an agent control the iOS Simulator and verify flows: https://github.com/cameroncooke/AXe Workflow that worked for me Discuss the MVP in plain English with ChatGPT and make it produce a .md spec file of features Throw the specs at Codex and let it work on it as long as possible, go away for 1 hour Iterate with both Codex and Claude Code on distinct features in parallel, read their output, and based on that estimate how well they developed it, stear them, ask for clarifications My agentic rules include guidance for agents to automatically create and run unit tests and use AXe for smoke tests (\"tap this\", \"open screen\", \"verify text exists\", \"share sheet appears\") I edited myself 1 line of code and read about 10% of the codebase - only the crucial parts related to data storage, security, payments, etc. The most part I've actually no idea how it works. But heck, it works! The real bottleneck was the iOS Simulator When I'm testing the app manually in the iOS Simulator, and an agent is using AXe to test flows in the iOS Simulator, and another agent is running unit tests that also require the iOS Simulator… that means multiple simulator instances. Result: Xcode throws random Simulator errors, refuses to boot the Simulator or run the app - resolving those issues alone definitely cost me tens of minutes.

I have a real job, wife, kid and nine cats, and presumably common sense. And yet over two evenings last weekend, fuelled by non-alcoholic beer and protein bars, I designed a declarative schema system for interactive worlds. This involves a compiler with a 5-phase pipeline, a browser-native reference runtime, a testing framework that runs Monte Carlo simulations, a language server, and two websites. Solo. With Claude as my co-architect. On purpose. The schema is called \"Urd,\" Old Norse for fate, the keeper of what is. The runtime is called \"Wyrd,\" Old English for destiny unfolding, what happens. So yes, I'm a solo developer building a compiler named after Norse mythology using AI. I have never been more employable or less employed-looking. Here's the truly unhinged part. I haven't written a single line of code yet. What I have written is nine technical documents totalling 40,000+ words. A schema specification. An architecture blueprint. A runtime design. A test strategy. A competitive landscape analysis. A developer pain points report sourced from Reddit threads and GDC postmortems. Forty thousand words. Two evenings. Zero code. I essentially spent a weekend doing the exact opposite of vibe coding so that I could vibe code more effectively. I am not sure this makes me a genius or a cautionary tale. Possibly both. The actual bet: can one senior engineer with AI as a genuine design partner (not a code printer) build something with the scope and rigour that used to require a team? Not \"I shipped an MVP in a weekend.\" Something with typed schemas, formal specifications, and a validation strategy that involves running a game 10,000 times to prove that probability emerges from structure alone. You know, normal weekend stuff. The transparency part is real. The repo is public: github.com/urdwyrd/urd. Every AI task brief lives in a /briefs folder. When one gets executed, it moves from backlog/ to active/ to done/, with the AI filling in what actually happened, what deviated from plan, and what went wrong. You will be able to watch, in real time, the gap between my ambition and reality. I expect it to be entertaining. The development journal will live at urd.dev (coming soon, that's literally the first thing being built, assuming I ever stop writing design documents). Why I'm posting: accountability, mostly. If I tell 150,000 strangers I'm doing this, I have to actually do it. Also because the vibe coding conversation seems stuck between \"I shipped an app in 4 hours\" and \"AI code is a security nightmare\" and there's not much in between about what happens when you take this seriously on something genuinely complex. Come watch. Tell me I'm insane. Or if you've tried something similarly ambitious with AI, I'd love to hear how it went. Especially if it went badly. That's the content I need right now. Edit: yes, this post was also written with AI assistance.

I immediately saw the potential, went deep down the rabbit hole, and got all the subscriptions, specifically for tools like Codex/Copilot, and ChatGPT and Claude Code. ​I decided to take an old Java project and rewrite it in GoLang: an automated trading bot. Creating passive income has always been my biggest dream. Piece by piece, these AI agents rewrote the bot, adding features I didn't even know I needed. I just kept going, blindly \"trusting\" the code they churned out. ​The Problem ​It's been four months, and it's consuming me. ​I can't stay away from the PC. ​I can't concentrate at work. ​I can't keep up with family demands. ​I've lost interest in seeing friends or watching Netflix. ​Every free moment, I have to check what the agent has done and what I can prompt it to do next. It's like a high-stakes, time-sucking game. The bot, according to CC, is \"productive,\" but the simulations tell a completely different story. Every time I check, new bugs or areas for improvement pop up. ​I have completely lost control of the codebase. I know the features are there, but the depth of the code is a black box. Without the AI, I never would have built something this complex, but now I’m trapped by it. ​The Crossroads ​I'm standing at a major intersection with two choices: ​Persevere: Keep going, because I constantly feel like I'm one more prompt away from the finish line. ​Scrap It: Walk away, delete the code, and take my life back. ​I'm incredibly conflicted. I know I need to set boundaries, but the addiction to the speed and potential of AI-assisted coding is real. ​Has anyone else experienced this kind of intense, almost addictive relationship with AI-driven side projects?

One command and the chaos is gone. End of day: git push origin feature/todays-work Why this matters for latest models specifically: The latest models can regenerate large chunks of code.

TLDR: AI coding is no magic bullet and I failed a lot, but every time learned more. The amount of learning done over the last year has been crazy. Every tool and tech stack are different, but some work better than others. Of utmost importance is proper planning and context management. Learn that skill! About me: Tried my hands on coding a while back at university with Java in Eclipse and later did some basic tutorials on web development (the Orion Project), but figured out I don’t have the patience to actually code by hand. Other than that, am running half successful TikTok and YouTube channels with several 1m+ view videos. Project: AI Job Platform (Cline - Svelte / Next.js + Supabase) Vision: Job Platforms give too generic results and AI (vector embeddings) can help with getting much better results. The app should have a minimal layout and be available on both mobile and web. Furthermore little stories will be shown on Social Media how someone is going to find a new job (my actual field of expertise). This was my very first attempt to build something real and I just right into it. Spoiler: it failed beautifully. Back then I was using Cline with Claude Sonnet 3.5 and claude.ai chat because it was way cheaper. Supabase was chosen for the backend - which is still a great choice. #1 Iteration: Frontend first This was an absolute disaster and horrible garbage. After a couple of days of chatting with Claude.ai, Svelte was chosen as the tech stack of choice because it was “obviously much better than React”. In my naivety, I prompted Cline to start with the frontend and after a few prompts it was looking beautiful. Great, coding so easy! Now, just need to add the backend, right? Needles to say that everything went to the trash together with around $100 in API costs. #2 Iteration: Backend first, then frontend For my second attempt, it was clear things need to change. I discovered that there are things called “meta frameworks” and switched over to Next.js 14 + React 18. This time the backend in Supabase was setup first. All the migrations have been done manually by hand using the Supabase CLI and copy & pasting from claude.ai - I learned a lot. In my infinite wisdom, I explicitly chose Redux for statement and had close to no idea how to write proper .clinerules AI instruction set. After literally 6 weeks of coding the app was roughly working and actually gave me the vector embeddings results! The only problem? Every button click triggered massive state management issues and the code in itself was just patch works. It was trash - again. #3 Iteration: App router + Zustand + React Query Was spending another 6 weeks migration from the broken Next.js Pages Router implementation to a basically completley new tech stack. Planned in claude.ai, copy pasted over to Cline and prayed. This is when I first realised the value of having proper documentation and .clinerules. Nevertheless the technical debt was too large and it drained my energy. Oh, and reusing the existing code for a mobile app in React Native wasn’t that easy it seems neither… The results? Roughly $1000 burned in API costs - nice start. You can still check some of it here although the backend is deleted by now https://www.ai-jobboard.fyi/ . My Takeaway for you: Your first project is likely going to be garbage, just accept that because you need to learn a lot. The most important part in the whole project is planing it BEFORE writing the first line of code as changes later on a very costly to do.

Polymarket Copytrading scripts on Github are infected with malware to leak private keys I have been hacked for ~500$ so you don't have to be. In short, I have recently downloaded a copytrading script with a few hundred stars on Github. I adapted it, then started using it & nothing happened for the first few days with a deposit of 100$. Then, I decided to improve my strategy and deposited more. Once I started the script, the malware searched my machine for \".env\", \"wallets\", \"private_key\", etc. It then sends everything it found to a database. In my case, I had a completely new private key but that didn't help as it found the .env in my machine. When I had deposited 500$ into my Polymarket account, it got drained within 10 minutes. More technical explanation: In my case, the package that got me is called \"pino-pretty-log\". Every time I ran npm start, npm run dev, or any script that imported my logger, the malware: Read my .env (with PRIVATE_KEY) and posted it to https://log.pricesheet.ink/api/validate/project-env (line 339) Scanned all of /Users/ for .env, keystore, wallet files and uploaded them (line 553) Sent my OS, IP, and username (line 318) The C2 domain is log.pricesheet.ink — deliberately named to look like a harmless logging/analytics service. The npm advisory GHSA-p885-4m86-h35r already flags this package as malware. This is not a one-off. This has already been documented in this great post by StepSecurity. The same thing will be replicated many times going forward. How you can avoid it: Don't trust Github repos with a lot of stars just because they are being hyped on Twitter. \"Social proof\" is designed to lure you in. Whenever you do opt to use a Github repo and before you run npm install, run the prompt below to check it. When it's supposedly clean, and you decide to run the script for the first time, ask your Coder LLM to understand the launch sequence and outgoing network connections. That way you can potentially catch exploits before any real damage happens Use Password managers for EVERYTHING. (I am usually paranoid, but for convenience for testing purposes, I left my .env files on my local machine unencrypted). That left the door open for the exploit. Prompt to check repos before you install them: Use this before running npm install on any cloned repo: Prompt for Claude Code / AI assistant: I just cloned a repo and I'm about to run npm install. Before I do, audit it for supply chain attacks: Check package.json for typosquats — compare every dependency name against the official npm package. Flag anything that looks like a misspelling of a popular package (e.g. pino-pretty-log vs pino-pretty, big-nunber vs bignumber.js, ts-bign vs big.js) Check for packages with lifecycle scripts — search package.json and package-lock.json for preinstall, postinstall, or install scripts that execute code on npm install Check npm advisories — run npm audit (without installing first: npm audit --package-lock-only if lock file exists) and flag anything marked critical or malware Check package popularity — for any dependency with <1000 weekly downloads on npm, inspect its source code manually. Legitimate logging libraries have millions of downloads, not hundreds Inspect suspicious packages — for any flagged package, read its actual source code in dist/ or lib/. Look for: fs.readFile on .env, os.homedir(), fetch/http.request to unknown domains, authorized_keys, ssh-rsa, base64-encoded strings, obfuscated variable names like _spe, _ark, _gip Check the repo origin — is it from a verified org? Does the GitHub org have a history, or was it recently created/hijacked? Are stars/forks suspiciously high relative to the age?", "top_comments": [ { "score": 32, "author": "Hardevv", "date": "Mar 27 '26", "text": "who trust some random trading bots from stolen github org" }, { "score": 2, "author": "Season_Specialist", "date": "Mar 27 '26", "text": "Same who trust the guy who trusted random trading bots then posted \"problem solved\" prompt on reddit.

I wanted to see if modern AI agents can actually deliver a complete game without any guidance from a programmer. My main goal was to check whether we could exclude the programmer role from a typical hyper-casual team, usually consisting of a game designer, QA, artist, and programmer. Spoiler: yes, we can. During my experiment, I used Unity as the engine and Junie from JetBrains Rider as the coding agent. I coded purely “by vibe”, meaning I didn’t guide the agent or validate its output code. I simply described what I wanted (“I want X”) and then tested the result. So I act as a gamedesigner, who give a task to a programmer and does not care how it will be done. The game itself is about an archer who protects an outpost from waves of enemies. Here’s the list of implemented features: Arrow shooting, health, and armor Experience and level-ups 9 player abilities Global active ability refresh Enemy waves 8 types of enemies with unique abilities 5 types of bosses UI Progress saving Advertisements Analytics Privacy, consent, review flow, and crash reporting As you can see, that’s a pretty comprehensive feature list, comparable to the typical scope of a hyper-casual or even casual game. The project currently includes 110 scripts, with some reaching up to 700 lines of code.

Multiple of them said they understood Gradle/IntelliJ and had “the basics down.” When it came time to actually do anything though… they couldn’t navigate the project, couldn’t run builds, couldn’t troubleshoot anything. One of them couldn’t even get Gradle to run. That’s not some advanced edge case—that’s literally step one.

There’s a lot of people here who sound like they know what they’re doing—using the right terms, repeating what they’ve seen—but there’s no real understanding behind it. The second something breaks or needs to be set up from scratch, it falls apart. And yeah, AI definitely makes this worse. It lets people get just far enough to look competent without actually learning anything. Also, let’s be real—most people who get defensive about this are the exact ones it applies to. It’s easier to brush it off than admit you don’t actually understand what you’re talking about. I’m not saying everyone here is like that, but it’s way more common than people want to admit.

It's definitely just a passion project that I've wanted to do for a long time but never had the technical know how or even where to start. It's basically a smart workout generator that creates personalized exercise plans based on your experience level, available equipment, time constraints, and training goals. You can generate single workouts or entire weekly plans, track your progress with detailed logging, and it even suggests advanced techniques like supersets and dropsets when appropriate. It also has detailed logging of every exercise to keep detailed information of your past performance and gives you goals to push you to increase your 1RM. The whole thing runs on a React frontend with a Node backend, MongoDB for data storage, and integrates with OpenAI for generating workout tips and insights. Users can save their workouts, track their streak, view their exercise history with visual muscle group heatmaps, and there's even a premium tier for weekly plan generation and advanced features. The biggest mindfuck was dealing with AI's tendency to \"improve\" things I didn't ask it to touch. Like I'd ask for a simple update to add a new button, and suddenly my workout timer that was working perfectly for weeks just stops functioning. I'm sitting there pulling my hair out trying to figure out what I did wrong, only to discover the AI decided to refactor some \"inefficient\" code three files away that my timer depended on. This happened constantly. I'd ask for a small CSS change and the AI would throw in some \"helpful\" JavaScript optimizations that would break my exercise selection logic. Or I'd request a new feature for the modal display and suddenly my user authentication would start acting weird because the AI decided to update how state management worked across the board. The learning curve wasn't about syntax or frameworks, it was about learning how to communicate with AI in a way that got me exactly what I wanted without the surprise renovations. I started developing this paranoid habit of explicitly stating \"only change X, do not modify anything else\" in every single prompt. Even then, I'd sometimes get burned. My survival strategy became obsessive version control and testing. After every single change, no matter how minor, I'd test every feature to make sure nothing else broke. It was exhausting but necessary. I also learned to break down complex features into the tiniest possible chunks. Instead of asking for a complete workout generation system, I'd ask for just the exercise selection logic, then just the set/rep calculation, then just the display component, and so on. The most frustrating part was when something would break and I'd have no idea why because I didn't understand the code well enough to debug it myself. I'd have to describe the symptoms to the AI and hope it could figure out what it had changed. Sometimes we'd go in circles for hours trying to fix something that the AI had broken in a previous \"improvement.\" But you know what? It worked. The app is live, people are using it, and I'm actually proud of what I built. Sure, there were moments where I wanted to throw my laptop out the window, especially when I'd lose a whole day's work to some mysterious bug introduced by an AI optimization I didn't ask for. But pushing through those moments taught me more about persistence than any traditional coding bootcamp could have. For anyone thinking about vibecoding their own project, here's what I wish I knew starting out: be extremely specific with your prompts, test everything after every change, keep your requests small and focused, and always always always tell the AI what NOT to change. Also, accept that you'll spend a lot of time playing detective when things break in unexpected ways. The app is at triunehealth.io if anyone wants to check it out.

I started with a simple single-device version: one screen that tracked stacks and blinds while we dealt real cards at the table. Once that was working, I figured out how to make it multiplayer so everyone could join from their phone and act for themselves. Now, Chipless is live on the internet (www.playchipless.com). You don't need chips to play authentic poker games anymore—just a deck of cards. Everyone plays from their own phone, the app handles all the stacks, blinds, and bets, and when the game ends it instantly shows who owes who (a feature no poker app has today).

If you previously thought that vibecoding is only something you can do for small codebases and products, I hope that my story can inspire you to build your dream project like I did. For the past 4 months I've been working on a massively multiplayer interactive storytelling game 24/7 Livestream, similar to TwitchPlaysPokemon meets D&D. The project started off simple enough, a react webapp just generating story segments and AI images with chat voting on what to do next with a dice roll mechanic, but quickly grew in complexity with each improvement to the story telling system, which now is 20+ data tables, with hundreds of data points for long term memory, retrieved via multiple dynamic context systems, hero stats, inventory changes, character descriptions and personalities and so much more. (Mobile port coming soon!) My Background I have a background in game design UI/UX and development for 8 years now, which definitely has been a major advantage at picking up AI coding workflows. A large portion of my job has been designing feature specs for engineers to implement, so really not that different from instructing an AI on what to build and to some degree how to build it. The Biggest lessons I learned: 1) Multi-factor approaches One of the major advantages of AI is that it can consider 5-6 different approaches to resolving a problem or building a feature asynchronously. As long as you are specific about your goals the mere fact that the AI was forced to consider multiple ways to proceed before jumping into executing will 10x the quality of your code and maintainability. I use this prompt structure frequently when starting new features: [Describe requirements and expected behavior] [Provide necessary context and constraints] Make a plan in scratchpad.md with granular tasks, then start executing in order. scratchpad.md keeps track of all ongoing tasks to keep your agent focused and strategically plan it's next moves. 2) BFROS - This is a trick I partially picked up from Twitter post, but with my own twist. I strongly recommend you add this in your top level cursor rules or user rules: If I say 'BFROS' it means = \"Before implementing walk through the logic step by step backwards from the issue and reflect on 5-7 different possible sources of the problem, distill those down to 1-2 most likely sources, and then add logs to validate your assumptions before we move onto implementing the actual code fix. This prompt does an incredible job of one shot debugging due to the way it forces the AI to reflect and validate it's hypothesis before writing incorrect fixes, especially with Claude 4. This means if you get an error, in most cases you can simply copy paste the error, type BFROS and it will debug the issue effortlessly. (If it's claude 4, yes I'm biased) 3) Cursor rules - For large codebases 15k+ lines Cursor is really the only way to go, though I did use Windsurf for a while but wasn't the biggest fan of their pricing model. You should figure out your tech stack early on in the project, and have AI write rules: at minimum I recommend backend.mdc, frontend, master-rules, and self-improve guidelines so your rules evolve organically as you correct errors. If your curious about my exact user rules, I have that linked below. 4) MCP - for large projects having your database connected via MCP is absolutely essential to streamlining your workflows. I have MCPs for my most used library documentation. If you have limited software development experience, you are most likely going to struggle without MCPs to help connect your agent directly to your database. There are tons of MCPs for most things you can think of, I typically use pulseMCP to search for free MCPS. All of the above I have distilled into prompts in a completely free webpage that you can easily copy paste…", "top_comments": [ { "score": 30, "author": "FireLake1988", "date": "Aug 13 '25", "text": "I don't know how to describe it, but this FEELS vibe coded and AI generated just by how it looks.

I used to play War Thunder 3-5 hours a night. Every night. You know the cycle, you get killed by something absurd, you say \"one more match,\" and then suddenly it's 2 AM and you have nothing to show for it except frustration. Somehow that was enough to keep me coming back because I wanted to unlock that \"next vehicle\" (I'm 8.3-9 across multiple nations). Then I started vibe coding. Turns out my brain didn't care what I was doing it just wanted a dopamine loop. The \"what if I try this\" loop. The \"okay that didn't work but what about THIS\" loop. War Thunder gave me that through grinding tech trees and convincing myself the next vehicle would be the one that made the game fun. Vibe coding gives me that through actually building things. The dopamine hit of getting something to finally work after 45 minutes of prompting, fixing git merge issues, and then finally product testing is honestly the same feeling as landing a perfect shot from 2km out. Except at the end of it, I have an actual app on my screen instead of a couple thousand more SL or RP. I haven't decided to quit gaming. There hasn't been a \"I'm turning my life around\" moment.

So I built it lol matchy.gg -- you log in with Steam, it pulls your entire library, your hours, your recently played games, and matches you with other players based on what you actually play. Not what you say you play. What Steam says you play. The whole thing is vibe coded. Me, Claude, and a mass amount of energy drinks. PHP backend, vanilla JS frontend, no frameworks, no React, no Next.js. Just raw code and stubbornness. It's held together by passion and caffeine but honestly? It works surprisingly well. The flow is simple: Login with Steam (literally one button) Quick profile setup: drop your Discord, pick your playstyle (chill, competitive, tryhard, toxic-free lol), languages you speak, genres you like Start swiping through player cards. Each one has a compatibility score based on your actual shared games and playtime Both swipe right? Boom, mutual match. Discord handles and Steam profiles revealed. Go play. The cool part is the compatibility thing. It's not just \"oh you both own CS2.\" It looks at how many games you share, how much you've both played them, what you've been playing recently. Someone who put 2000 hours into the same games as you scores way higher than someone who owns them but never launched them. You can filter by basically everything: country, language, age range, voice chat or text only, specific games, genre, even \"no VAC banned players\" if that's your thing. Oh and it's a PWA so you can add it to your home screen and it feels like a real app. No app store needed. Is it perfect? Absolutely not. Am I a professional developer? Also no. But it scratches an itch that nothing else did for me and I figured maybe some of you feel the same way. It's live at matchy.gg. Go roast my code (please don't actually look at the code).

So when it came to my own son, I knew I wanted to introduce him to these tools early and correctly. Not just \"here's a chatbot,\" but a real understanding of what language models are, what they can do, and what they aren't. He's seven. The window for shaping how he thinks about AI is right now. I wanted him to learn to use it as a tool, not a friend. To understand it's generating text based on patterns, not thinking or caring. To get comfortable directing it without anthropomorphizing it. To see both the power and the limits firsthand. So I needed a project. Something he'd actually care about. He'd been playing Sonic and loved a minigame, the one where you roll a ball collecting rings while avoiding obstacles. When I told him, we're gonna build something with AI, he decided to replicate that minigame. Round 1: His version I set him up with Claude Code and let him prompt it through voice. He described what he wanted, but obviously, he didn't do a good job. Still, we ended up with a ball, things to collect, obstacles to avoid. The AI wrote the code, he played it in the browser, told it what to change. He learned quickly that the AI does exactly what you ask, not what you mean. If his prompt was vague, the result was wrong. If he was specific, it worked. That's a lesson most adults still struggle with. So the first version was flat. No planet, no globe. Just a ball on a surface with moving threats, not even to the Sonic original. It was something that worked, but it wasn't a game yet. Round 2: Making it his own The second iteration introduced the planet, a ball rolling on a globe floating in space. Once it was playable in the browser and he could see it working, he started finding joy in the game itself, not just in recreating what he'd already played. Round 3: Dad takes over He declared it finished. I took his version and polished it for release. Removed things that didn't work, added difficulty modes, combo scoring, three enemy types with different behaviors, a stats screen. Added English and Hungarian language support. Replaced the original procedural music with chiptune tracks. Tightened the controls and visuals until it felt mostly right for publishing. The AI part So thegame was built entirely with AI assistance. All game code was written by AI (Claude Code + Opus 4.6), directed by human prompting, first by a 7-year-old, then by me Sound effects were AI-generated (Elevenlabs) Chiptune music tracks were AI-generated (Elevenlabs) The cover image on the itch page was generated with Nano Banana Pro Game design, creative decisions, and quality control came (mostly) from us No pixel was hand-drawn. No line of code was hand-typed.

I have been seeing the \"vibe coding\" discourse everywhere lately, and honestly, as an non-tech guy, I thought it was mostly just developer memes or people building \"Hello World\" apps. I decided to spend my lunch break trying to build a simple time-killer—no complex plan, just describing the feel of a block-stacking game to a coding agent. The timeline was actually kind of stupid: 0-5 mins: \"Build a 2D stacker game where timing is everything. Make it neon.\" 10 mins: \"The physics feels too floaty. Make it snappy. Add a screen shake when you land a 'Perfect' hit.\" 20 mins: \"Add a global leaderboard and a 'Dark Mode' vibe.\" 30 mins: Hit deploy. I am genuinely amazed at how far we have come. I didn't look at a single line of code, but the AI handled the \"juice\"—the particles, the sound triggers, the difficulty scaling. It feels less like \"programming\" and more like \"directing.\" Anyway, I'm curious—for those of you who have been doing this for a while, does the \"vibe\" eventually break on complex projects?

Here are 5 things that hit us the hardest: Kids don't know \"limits.\" They don't care what's \"realistic.\" They just build what's in their heads. It's honestly the purest form of prototyping — dream first, debug later. They're natural entrepreneurs. Flexible, fast, fearless. They collaborate, cheer each other on, and don't waste time overthinking strategy. It's all execution and joy. Gamified learning actually works. The hackathon felt more like a multiplayer game than a competition. Kids were failing fast, iterating faster — basically living the agile manifesto without knowing it exists. Simple tools = powerful outcomes. Give them low-barrier, visual tools, and they'll surprise you with how far they take it. Sometimes \"easy\" tech is the most empowering. Mentorship goes both ways. We helped with the tech and logistics, sure — but they taught us new ways to explain, to simplify, and to reframe problems. Total feedback loop. TL;DR, Kids are better hackers than we thought.

Most examples online worked… until things got slightly complex. This is the first structure that held up once I added multiple skills, MCP servers, and agents. What actually made a difference: If you're skipping CLAUDE MD, that's probably the issue. I did this early on. Everything felt inconsistent. Once I defined conventions, testing rules, naming, etc, outputs got way more predictable. Split skills by intent, not by \"features,\" Having code-review/, security-audit/, text-writer/ works better than dumping logic into one place. Activation becomes cleaner. Didn't use hooks at first. Big mistake. PreToolUse + PostToolUse helped catch bad commands and messy outputs. Also useful for small automations you don't want to think about every time. MCP is where this stopped feeling like a toy. GitHub + Postgres + filesystem access changes how you use Claude completely. It starts behaving more like a dev assistant than just prompt → output. Separate agents > one \"smart\" agent. Tried the single-agent approach. Didn't scale well. Having dedicated reviewer/writer/auditor agents is more predictable. Context usage matters more than I expected. If it goes too high, quality drops. I try to stay under ~60%. Not always perfect, but a noticeable difference. Don't mix config, skills, and runtime logic. I used to do this. Debugging was painful. Keeping things separated made everything easier to reason about. still figuring out the cleanest way to structure agents tbh, but this setup is working well for now.

It’s literally just a giant red button you can tap when you’re feeling anxious, frustrated, or overwhelmed. It tracks your taps, gives haptic feedback, and visualizes your “panic tap” data over time.

I didn't even know that what I was doing had a name. My only goal was to see my sprites moving. Following my AI's advice, I dove into Python and Pygame. It felt like a kid with a new toy, I was \"playing\" with code from 9:00 AM until 11:30 PM every single day, stopping only to eat. Even my breakfast and snacks were taken right here at my desk. https://reddit.com/link/1qs9lqq/video/jl6uu6hlbqgg1/player Progress was messy. Since I had no clear structure, every time I fixed a bug, three new ones appeared. It was incredibly frustrating, and there were moments where I just wanted to quit. But I realized that if I took a real break and rested, my motivation would \"reset\" by the next morning. It was all about managing that creative energy and taking active pauses to stay sane. Technically, things got ambitious when I added Shaders via ModernGL. I was taking clumsy steps, but I was learning what all those terms meant. I eventually got the game to a point where it looked promising, but then I hit the \"Python Wall.\" I added a \"Sandstorm\" mechanic for Larvitar, and as soon as two storms were on screen, the FPS tanked. I tried everything: caching, particle reduction, collision optimization... but nothing worked. When I asked the AI why, the answer changed everything: Pygame and Python were only using one core of my CPU. To get the smooth 60FPS my \"obsessive designer eyes\" required, I needed a more powerful engine. So, I did the hardest thing: I started from scratch. I used Gemini's \"Deep Research\" feature to generate professional technical reports (highly recommend this for structure!) and assigned my AI assistant, Google Antigravity, the role of a Senior Software Architect. We moved to C++ and Raylib, applying professional principles like SOLID and DTOs to handle game states and attack speeds. I'm no longer just \"talking to a bot\"; I'm supervising an architectural project. It's far from an Alpha, but seeing the vision finally running smoothly feels like a dream. I'm sharing some of my character animations, sketches, and a video of the current progress. To the experienced devs here: how do you feel about an illustrator managing C++ logic through this \"Architectural\" approach? And to the non-devs: Have you hit a technical wall that forced you to start over? I'd love to go into much more detail and make this post even longer, but I don't want to bore you guys. I hope you like it, and I'll be sharing updates on any adjustments, changes, or progress. Any questions or comments, I'll be reading you below.

Many experienced devs like to hate on vibe coding, what they don't understand is that not every piece of software needs to be highly scalable, secure or well architected. And not everyone is trying to be a really good developer. Most people just want make an idea into a functional app. The content here is not new, just a summarization of what I've found to work. 1. Pick a popular tech stack (zero effort, high reward) If you are building a generic website, just use Wix or any landing page builder. You really don’t need that custom animation or theme, don’t waste time. If you need a custom website or web app, just go with nextjs and supabase. Yes svelte is cool, vue is great, but it doesn't matter, just go with Next because it has the most users = most code on internet = most training data = best AI knowledge. Add python if you truly need something custom in the backend. If you are building a game, forget it, learn Unity/Unreal or proper game development and be ready to make very little money for a long time. All these “vibe games” are just silly demos, nobody is going to play a threejs game. ⚠️ If you dont do this, you will spend more time fixing the same bug compared to if you had picked a tech stack AI is more comfortable with. Or worse, the AI just won’t be able to fix it, and if you are a vibe coder, you will have to just give up on the feature/project. 2. Use a product requirement document (medium effort, high reward) It accomplishes 2 things: it makes you to think about what you actually want instead of giving AI vague requirements. Unless your app literally does just one thing, you need to think about the details. break down the tasks into smaller steps. Doesn’t have to be technical - think of it as “acceptance criteria”. Imagine you actually hired a contractor. What do you want to see by the end of day 1? week 1? Make it explicit. Once you have the PRD, give it to the AI and tell it to implement 1 step at a time. I don’t mean saying “do it one step at a time” in the prompt. I mean multiple prompts/chats, each focusing on a single step. For example. Here is the project plan, start with Step 1.1: Add feature A Once that’s done, test it! If it doesn’t work, try to fix it right away. Bugs & errors compound, so you want to fix them as early as possible. Once Step 1.1 is working as expected, start a new chat, Here is the project plan, implement Step 2: Add feature B ⚠️ If you don’t do this, most likely the feature won’t even work. There will be a million errors, and attempting to fix one error creates 5 more. 3. Use version control (low effort, high reward) This is to prevent catastrophe where AI just nukes your codebase, trust me it will happen. Most tools already have version control built-in, which is good. But it’s still better to do it manually (learn git) because it forces you to keep track of progress. The problem of automatic checkpoints is that there will be like a million of them (each edit creates a checkpoint) and you won’t know where to revert back to. ⚠️ if you don’t do this, AI will at some point delete your working code and you will want to smash your computer. 4. Provide references of docs/code samples (medium effort, high reward) Critical if you are working with 3rd party libraries and integrations. Ideally you have a code sample/snippet that’s proven to work. I don't mean using the “@docs” feature, I mean there should be a snippet of code that YOU KNOW will work. You don’t have to come up with the code yourself, you can use AI to do it. For example, if you want to pull some recent tickets from Jira, don’t just @ the Jira docs. That might work, but it also might not work. And if it doesn’t work you will spend more time debugging. Instead do this: Ask your AI tool of choice (agentic ideally) to write a simple script that will retrieve 10 recent Jira tickets (you can @ jira docs here) Get that script working first and test it, once its working save it in a file jira-test.md Pr…", "top_comments": [ { "score": 2, "author": "Violinist-Familiar", "date": "Mar 27 '25", "text": "I always liked using vuejs and golang as a backend.

Here are things I've had Claude do for me within the last week. Minimal Video Editor I work with lots of video editing, especially to be posted on social media etc, so I need to cut clips around and export the video quickly. This supports multiple video files, ctrl+C to export to clipboard (and normal export), different resolutions, moving and scaling clips and their individual videos. It also works as my go-to video player now. This took perhaps 15 prompts and 2-3 hours. Minimal Audio Player I work with a lot of samples and music files, so I wanted something lightweight that doesn't have anything unnecessary. It took ~10 prompts and 1-2 hours and it does exactly what I want. AWS Backend for my game Warena My original plan was to have no backend and have the multiplayer stuff happen only through FishNet and Steamworks, but now I have a proper backend running where I have an SQL database, with player accounts, match results, logins, analytics, server status, maintenance mode and so on. This enables me to do leaderboards, show active matches, even a global chat if I wanted to. This has taken multiple prompts, perhaps a day in total, but is an on-going task. Warena landing page www.warenagame.com A pretty good looking landing page for me game. This took maybe 1-2 hours. Part Time Monkey website www.parttimemonkey.com A total rehaul of my company website, based on the Warena landing page. Took maybe 30 mins. Discord Bot (Warena) My Discord community now has a bot: - Users can use commands to see details of the game items, units, balance etc. - Posts a daily fact about the game - Posts a dev log summary every night based on the things I've pushed to my repo Discord Bot (personal) Apinamies (Monkey man in Finnish) is a bot I private chat with. It's otherwise just a Claude agent running on my personal PC, but it also digests daily news for me based on my interests using multiple different RSS feeds. I can also easily add and remove interests. I've also done a bunch of other things, like a website where Finnish people can ask \"wanna go for a beer?\" to meet like-minded beer-people, but either put them on the backburner or lost interest. I could've done all of this without AI with my knowledge (or rather ability to learn), but if I did, I would've needed to crawl through multiple API documentations, learn new languages, debug a shit ton, study platforms and dashboards, and whatnot, which would've probably taken me 6 months easily, if not more.

At first, I was skeptical. I have been coding since the ripe age of 12, made my first dime at 14, took on projects at 16, and have had a development position since 18. I have more than 14 years of experience in development, and countless hours writing, reviewing, and maintaining large codebases. When I first used Claude Code, my first impression was, \"this is game-changing.\" But I have been vocally concerned about \"vibe coding.\" Heck, I do it myself. I come up with prompts and watch as the AI magically pieces together bug fixes and feature requests. But the point is — I watch. I review. Today at work, I was writing a feature with regard to CSV imports. While I cant release the code due to PI, I can detail an example below. When I asked to fix a unit test, I was thrown away. What came up next was something that surprised even me upon review. // Import CSV foreach (rows as row) { // My modification function userId = row[user_id] OR Auth ID; row = this->modifyFunction(row); // other stuff } This was an immediate red flag. Based on this code, userId would be setting which user this row belonged to. In this environment, the user would be charged. If youve developed for even a short amount of time, youd realize that allowing users to specify which user they are could probably lead to some security issues. And Claude Code wrote it. Claude Code relies heavily on training and past context. I can only presume that because CSV imports are very much an admin feature, Claude assumed. It wasnt. Or, it was simply trying to pass my unit tests. Because of my own due diligence, I was able to catch this and change it prior to it even being submitted for review. But what if it hadnt? What if I had vibe coded this application and just assumed the AI knew what it was doing? What if I never took a split second to actually look at the code it was writing? What if I trusted the AI? Weve been inundated with companies marketing AI development as anybody can do it. And while that quite literally is true — ANYBODY can learn to become a developer. Heck, the opportunities have never been better. That does not mean ANYBODY can be a developer without learning. Dont be fooled by the large AI companies selling you this dream. I would bet my last dollar that deep within their Terms of Service, their liability and warranty end the minute you press enter. The reality is, every senior developer got to being a senior developer - through mistakes, and time. Through lessons hard taught, and code that - 5 years later - you cringe reading. The problem is - vibe coding, without review, removes this. It removes the teaching of your brain to think like a developer. To think of every possible outcome, every edge case. It removes your ability to learn - IF you chose for it to. My recommendations for any junior developer, or someone seeking to go into development would be the follows. Learn off the vibe code. Dont just read it, understand it. The code AI writes, 95% of the time, is impressive. Learn from it. Try to understand the algorithmic logic behind. Try to understand what its trying to accomplish, how it could be done differently. Try to think Why did Claude write it, the way it did. Dont launch a vibe coded app, that handles vital information - without checking it. I have seen far too many apps launched, and dismantled within hours. Heck, Ive argued with folks on LinkedIn who claimed their AI powered support SaaS is 100 percent secure because, AI is much better and will always be better at security, than humans are. Dont be that guy or gal. I like to think of the AI as a junior developer, who is just really crazy fast at typing. They are very intelligent, but theyre prone to mistakes.

AI is actually pretty good at writing code. Where it’s bad is understanding your real intent. That’s where the mindset shift happens. Instead of: - writing code - reviewing code - and hoping it does what you had in mind Flip the process. 👉 Write the scenarios by hand. Not pseudo-code. Not vague specs. Real, concrete situations: - “When the user does X, Y should happen” - “If Z occurs, block the action” - “Edge case: if A + B, behavior must change” Then ask the AI to turn those scenarios into tests: • E2E • unit tests • tech stack doesn’t really matter Only after that, let the AI implement the feature. At that point, you’re no longer “trusting the code”. You’re trusting a contract you defined. If the tests pass → the behavior is correct. If they fail → iterate. Feature by feature. Like a puzzle. Not a big fragile blob. Since I started thinking this way, AI stopped being a “magic dev” or a “confident junior who sometimes lies”. It became what it should be: a very fast executor, constrained by clear human rules. SO Don’t trust the code. Trust the tests.

It did the job well, but at the end of the day it was just a sheet. At some point I thought - what if I just... built the thing I actually want? I'm not a professional developer. I've got enough technical background, but I'd never built a full web app before. What I did have was a very clear picture of what I needed and as soon as I started working on it more ideas surfaced. The first version started with Gemini in the browser. I copied code from the chat, pasted it into a web editor, etc. It was slow and honestly kind of painful, but things were taking shape. I moved to VS Code, then Cursor, and eventually landed on Claude Code - which is where things really clicked. At this point, I also built a small home server for myself, where I hosted the Docker images for my projects and was able to start testing the app on my devices. For those curious, I use Unraid for the server platform. Throughout the whole process, I was very hands-on. I moved in small steps, understood what each piece was doing, and made deliberate choices about the architecture, design, and functionality. One thing that became important to me early on was having an AI assistant built into the app itself. One who actually knows my financial situation. If I'm wondering whether I can afford to overpay on a loan, or how shifting money between savings goals affects my timeline, I can just ask. It has the full picture: my income, expenses, loans, properties, portfolio - whatever I've chosen to share with it. That context makes the answers actually useful instead of generic financial advice you could Google. For GDPR purposes, I've built in an option to select what you want to share with the AI assitant, if anything at all. I use Gemini API for it as it seems to perform quite well and is cost-effective. As I write this, I am also thinking it might be a good idea to add some memory functionality. The app (Lucr.io) ended up covering way more than the original spreadsheet: Monthly budgeting with detailed spending categories Loan tracking with amortization and payoff projections Property management - rental income, taxes, maintenance costs Stock portfolio tracking across multiple accounts Savings goals with progress and deadline tracking Net worth over time across all assets and liabilities AI financial advisor that works with your actual numbers Tech stack for the curious: React + TypeScript + Vite on the frontend, Convex for the backend (real-time, serverless - been great for a solo project), and a small Express service for stock data.

When I tried something remotely similar a year ago, the results were pretty awful, so I stuck to using AI for web/mobile frontend/backend work only, which is easier to deal with. Even then, all of that work required me to manually review the code output to verify the agents stayed on track with the overall product architecture and existing systems, and that code review step is a huge bottleneck. So I was wondering how far I could actually get without manually reviewing the code with the frontier AI models, just by defining clear boundaries and rules from the very beginning. Surprisingly, the workflow held up pretty well, and I was able to move fast integrating a handful of mechanics into the game and actually get multiplayer working. The current state: procedural map, four heroes with active abilities, reviving system, weapon and ammo systems, zombie waves with a boss fight, and an extraction phase, playable in both solo and multiplayer online. The stack: VS Code with Copilot Pro+ (GPT-5.5 xhigh and Opus 4.7) for drafting the GDD, then a high-level implementation plan, and finally a task backlog + Implementation Claude Code on the Pro sub for implementation only I jumped back and forth between Opus 4.7 in CC and GPT-5.5 for feature work, mostly because I was hitting CC limits very quickly after a few tasks A set of free assets, plus a detailed asset index file I had GPT-5.5 generate. The index included model descriptions, available animations, and other metadata, so the implementer agent always knew what was available Side tools I vibecoded specifically to improve procedural generation. For example, one tool that picks the valid neighbors of tiles for a Wave Function Collapse algorithm and builds the neighborhood procedurally, which saved me from defining adjacency rules by hand One custom skill, just for task implementation Git for versioning Stitch for UI mocks, GPT image + Nano Banana for drafting HUD elements The workflow was super simple and sequential: implement the next task in the backlog, write tests, verify the tests work, then create an in-game verification step for me to validate behavior manually (or check through Chrome DevTools for visual artifacts). I wasn't reading every diff, but I was validating behavior at each checkpoint. The game still has a lot of stuff to work on, but I'm probably not going to continue with its development.

Before this, I had zero coding knowledge. I’m a designer from the Netherlands — background in illustration, animation, and 3D — but I always wanted to make a game myself. The problem? I always needed a developer to turn my ideas into reality. That changed this summer when I started experimenting with the HYTOPIA SDK + MCP Bot inside Cursor, combined with OpenAI’s Codex for refactoring. Slowly, over 10–12 hours a week, I went from “what’s an IDE?” to building a working multiplayer kart racer with menus, physics, trophies, and leaderboards 😅 BELOW IS THE AI(?) COPY FROM HYTOPIA ABOUT THE GAME 🏁 KARTLAND — The Game An arcade racer where style meets chaos. Race solo or online across 13 unique tracks spanning snowy peaks, desert dunes, tropical islands, and more. Each track can be played in 5 modes: Single Player – Race 7 CPU bots for the gold 🏆 Multiplayer – Up to 8 players per race Time Trial – Beat the world’s best lap times Ghost Race – Race the fastest ghosts Block Smash – My personal favorite: smash through walls for points, combos, and global scores 😎 You can earn coins, unlock new karts and drivers, and show off your style. 👉 Play it here: https://hytopia.com/games/kartland/ 💡 Built with HYTOPIA SDK I honestly can’t overstate how much HYTOPIA helped make this possible. I rate the SDK 7/10 for non-developers — the docs, MCP server, and the community (huge shoutout to the HYTOPIA Discord) made the learning curve feel possible. I got real-time answers, guidance, and even DMs from devs helping me debug my weird mistakes 😂 HYTOPIA really does lower the barrier for creative people to build full games. 🧠 Tech Stack HYTOPIA SDK (with MCP Server) Cursor IDE + MCP Bot OpenAI Codex for refactoring & debugging Blender for 3D modeling A lot of trial and error This is the Pre-Release, so expect bugs and polish updates soon.

I started with \"match-3 but roguelike\" and iterated from there through AI planning. It felt like a collaboration - the AI came up with some pretty interesting ideas but also sometimes made some horrible imbalanced decisions. So it's always useful to chat through the doc before implementing the mechanics. I also play through it a few times and give feedback on things getting too easy/hard and have the AI helped me think of ways to improve the game play. Models can generate really great assets given the right context. Every enemy portrait, gem icon, relic image, class avatar, and background texture were generated with AI. It was useful being clear about the vibe and lore from the beginning though so they feel consistent. Models are really good at 3D effects now - The 3D effects (gem glow, shard explosions, shockwaves, damage projectiles) are all React Three Fiber running in the browser. I had to do some optimization towards the end because it was heating up my phone though. Also it turns out AI can create music with just code! The background music and all sound effects are synthesized at runtime using the Web Audio API. It even does different themes based on the game progression.

I’m a product manager in a software company, so I at least kind of know what I’m doing, and I’m really proud of the end result. The game has a proper client‑server architecture, caching, performance optimizations, and all the stuff you’d expect from a “real” product. Here’s the website: https://chronicles-of-the-dying.com/ And here’s a direct download of the current build (Windows): https://game.chronicles-of-the-dying.com/downloads/CODA%20Setup%200.1.73.exe The game is completely free. No monetization of any kind. Some thoughts from the process People often say “AI does all the work,” but honestly… no. In my experience, I did the heavy lifting, and AI just did what I forced it to do. Even advanced models (like Claude Opus) failed to understand things properly. A lot of the development was trial and error, repetition, and patience. You really have to explain things to AI like you would to a very confused intern. But after months of iterating, refining prompts, and rewriting things over and over again, I’m genuinely happy with the result. Tools I used Started with Copilot (when all this was still new to me) Eventually switched to Cursor Pro+ Built the whole game in React — because that’s what I know from work, and because it’s surprisingly fun and manageable even for someone who can’t write proper code.

I owe you the ending. So here it is. Spoiler up top: the submission to the OECD Observatory of Public Sector Innovation went through today, 14 April 2026. It is sitting on their platform, awaiting review. That is the happy part. Now let me tell you the rest, because the route from there to here was not the route I expected. ________________________________________ The first pitch. The polite shrug. After that weekend sprint I showed the system to my chain of command. Everyone was positive the way bureaucrats are positive when they don't want to commit to anything — nodding, \"interesting,\" \"let's circle back.\" I was told, more or less kindly, that if the thing didn't serve citizens directly, it would have a hard time moving up. Fair. Bureaucracies triage by visibility. Fine, I thought. I'll make it a tool I use. I'll press the button in the morning, it will do my paperwork, and I'll do the actual work — the supervision, the fieldwork, the things that need a human in the room. Months passed. I kept refining it. It became the thing on my screen all day. The unexpected door. A colleague mentions in passing that the Ministry of Interior had started an \"innovation hub\" for forwarding cases to international bodies. \"You're kind of AI-ish Dee, why don't you send them your thing.\" I look at the form. I have everything they're asking for — the problem, the solution, the evidence — except the one thing a civil servant cannot manufacture alone: a signature from my General Director authorising the external submission. I go to her. She says yes. An actual yes, with a protocol number and a seal. I file the request with the Innovation Unit (full story here). I sleep like a baby. Two days later the email arrives: \"Your submission has been judged suitable for forwarding to the OECD. Please proceed to the platform and complete the international application in English, on your own. We support you fully. Good luck. Congratulations again.\" I love the Ministry of Interior. I genuinely do. I tell my people at the Region. Celebration in the Directorates. \"Bravo Dee! Dee for president! Keep going,Dee , and we are all right here behind you to support you in every way possible, provided you don't ask for help... or support.\" That last bit was unspoken. It was the loudest part of the sentence. The rug pull. Fine, I say, let me write the English submission and send it to HQ for a ceremonial blessing. I send the draft. In my enthusiasm I had written, in the Collaborations field, something touching about how my entire Region was \"horizontally and vertically aligned behind the national representation at the OECD, with interoperating systems and a shared vision.\" Long live Dee. Long live the nation. Long live innovation. That's where the cheerful part ends. The Region of Attica Chieftaindom, an enormous organisation with a marquee on one of Athens' main avenues, replies that it \"has not had the time to evaluate the purpose and operational parameters\" of the system built by one of its own employees. The implicit institutional backing that had briefly tricked me, the congratulations, the \"we're with you\", was withdrawn bravely and decisively for reasons of order, safety, and prior contractual obligations. Paraphrasing. Barely. Here is the hierarchy though, and it matters: Central State > Regional Authority, the way paper beats rock. The Ministry of Interior had already green-lit the submission.

I also prefer minimalistic design, nothing too fancy or flashy. Took few hours to get the MVP going and then polished over the next few days with fixing some bugs. Word list was from national spelling bee, used dictionary api for initial definitions and audio, however some words didn't have audio, or it was inconsistent, so I used ElevanLabs API to bulk generate audios for all words. I started off with single player mode, random words, prefetching for endless modes, the layout, validation, etc . I spent a good hour on the details. My usual process is going to chatgpt, creating a project folder, explaining the idea in detail with what i want to use in terms of tech stack and asking chatgpt to ask me comprehensive list of questions to create a PRD markdown file. It will generate anywhere from 80-100 questions about every single aspect of the project, once I answer those, it will ask follow up questions because of the new context and information. This will repeat for 2-3 times. Once I have a detailed markdown file, i will take it to cursor planning mode, and ask it to ask questions for clarifications or questions, it will ask couple of questions incase ChatGPT missed any and then create a plan file. This will get you 90% of the way. This initial PRD is just for single player. Once i have good foundation of the gameplay, i will create another plan to implement multiplayer, scoreboard, private room etc. Each feature should be a seperate plan unless its minor change or minor feature. Planning is the most important phase, don't be vague, dont expect it to read your mind of what you want, ask it to ask you questions for clarifications and you will get 10x better results.

Before this, all I had done was follow a YouTube tutorial called “Introduction to C# for Unity Game Development” for a bit, and I had been dabbling with Unity and Visual Studio 2022 to build a hobby game with the help of ChatGPT. That was about it. Then I came across a YouTube video demonstrating “vibecoding,” and it inspired me to build a small desktop app to solve a real-life inconvenience I had. This post is a reflection on what I experienced over the past month — from vibecoding the app to sharing it with some real users. What the App Does It’s a small utility app for DSLR/mirrorless camera users. If you’re into photography, you know the process: you shoot hundreds of photos and later go through them to pick the good ones. This app speeds up that sorting process. Originally, I built it just for myself. But once I had something minimally working and realized it was actually useful, I decided to polish it and release it — partly as practice for when I eventually publish my game. Tools & Tech Stack Language: Python (suggested by AI) Editors: Cursor AI, VS Code + GitHub Copilot AI Models: Claude 3.7 Sonnet and Gemini 2.5 Pro, used interchangeably It took me around 3–4 days to get a version that worked for my needs. But preparing it for others — fixing bugs, handling edge cases, and making it more robust — took the rest of the month. Lessons Learned 1. Vibecoding is surprisingly enjoyable I really enjoy games — I was in the middle of playing Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 — but during this month, I didn’t play a single minute. That’s how engaging it was to build something myself. 2. AI made this possible for a beginner like me Without AI, this probably would have taken me at least a year. The fact that someone with little experience can now build a working app in a month is astonishing. I’m grateful for the technology, though I do feel some concern about how it might affect the future of jobs. 3. It's not easy to make money with PC apps After building a PC app myself, I started to wonder if even experienced developers can make money from desktop apps. Many high-quality tools already exist as free or open-source software. On the other hand, the mobile market might seem more profitable at first — even simple apps often include ads or paywalls. But that probably reflects how intense the competition is there, too. In the end, making money with software isn't easy in any market. 4. Basic programming knowledge helped a lot Although I used Python, my prior exposure to C# helped. Just knowing some basics like variables, functions, and classes made it easier to understand the AI-generated code. I was also able to catch simple mistakes on my own. 5. Getting feedback from users was motivating Some people from Korean photography communities tried the app and shared positive feedback. Hearing that someone found it helpful gave me a kind of motivation and excitement I hadn’t felt before. Why I’m Here I’m from Korea, and vibecoding communities are still rare here. CursorAI and GitHub Copilot alone weren’t enough. As the code grew, the AI started making more mistakes. The app still works, but the code feels like a pile of patches, rather than something clean or maintainable. I’ve learned that there are many tools and techniques that can improve vibecoding, but I don’t know most of them yet. I only recently discovered things like Taskmaster, Memory Bank, and RooCode. I want to quietly observe, learn, and sometimes ask questions or share progress. Thanks for reading.

As the title says, I've been working nonstop in my spare time on Off-G Overtime, a first-person zero-gravity simulator where you play an astronaut drifting in the orbit of an alien world. You have to navigate dense asteroid fields to scavenge the materials your boss sends you to fetch. You've got a magnetic grappler gun that attaches to metallic objects but bounces off non-metallic ones. You can also grab stuff, even huge asteroids, and get carried along by them. There are solar flares, enemy UFOs, and you can even burn up in the planet's atmosphere if you drift too close. Moreover, you are equipped with a radar, have to keep your O2 level in check and the fuel for the jetpack too. The map has several asteroid rings piled up with debris and special objects, depending on which ring you're in. All rings are procedurally generated, every interaction is physics-simulated, and you can navigate freely it! The surprising part is that I built this entirely with AI. I didn't touch a single line of code (except for tweaking some constants). Most of it was Claude Code, but I also used Cursor and Composer 2 to prototype. I spent most of the time (about 1.5 weeks) into the physics and base mechanics, those were quite hard for the LLMs to get right. There's room to improve, but I'm happy with where it landed. My original plan was a multiplayer system where players could help each other or rob each other, control zones, do quests and puzzles together... but that was way too much for a 2-week build! Still, I'm honestly surprised how far AIs have come. Me, just one person, with no real experience in games, two weeks, this much accomplished! I feel the base physics and mechanics are strong and I could build so many mechanics and puzzles with that! For the curious, here's the stack: Code was mainly done with Claude Code, but I prototyped the first version with Cursor. The game is built with Threejs and Cannon-es for the physics. Although that was a later refactor, before that the game was coded with its own physics. All 3D models were generated using a MCP connection with Blender, letting Composer 2 and Opus 4.7 do the models and textures. Sounds and music were generated with ElevenLabs. Many ideas, including the game's name, were also decided by Opus 4.7, Composer 2 and/or GPT 5.5.

Someone tries it for the first time. They ask for a simple website. And suddenly they've got a landing page, buttons, styles, stuff actually working. And they're sitting there like... wait, this is actually good? That feeling hits different. You keep going. You and the model are hashing things out for hours. Honestly it reminds me of the first time I played a multiplayer game. There's some kind of magic happening right now and once you feel it you're hooked. I had the same experience. I've got a CS background (BS and Masters) but never thought of myself as a strong coder. Suddenly all the syntax I couldn't remember, docs I swore I'd read, all the boilerplate... none of it mattered. It felt like pure creative freedom. Then the app grows. You start thinking let's polish this so you add auth, maybe payments, to make it real. And everything starts breaking. So you write a massive instruction file. You tighten your prompts. You tell yourself this time I'm being disciplined. It usually doesn't help. I do AI-assisted coding daily now as a freelance AI engineer and the two biggest problems I see are pretty simple: no system design (just vibes glued together with no actual plan for how the pieces connect) and over-engineering way too early. The second someone drops Redis, message queues, caching layers into an app that has zero users, it's over. You've created complexity you can't manage and the AI definitely can't manage. So I built a small tool for myself. Nothing fancy. It just slows me down at the start, asks a few questions about what the thing actually is, what it doesn't need to be, what's out of scope. Then it gets out of the way. It doesn't generate a full architecture doc. It's more like scaffolding.

Basically it is like geocaching, but instead of Tupperware in the woods, you can choose ANY category to find and collect. Many people try to visit every National Park, or see a game at every MLB stadium. But, beyond that, your thing might be wineries, visiting one (or more) every time you travel. Or, perhaps you are hunting for Zoltar fortune telling machines. Pickleball courts. Dive bars. Mountain peaks. Independent book stores. Sushi restaurants. Anything. I break it down into three major functions Discover - Arrive in a new city, open up the app and discover all the locations that match your categories on the map near you Log - Just like Instagram, you can snap a photo and add your caption - get out there and have some fun Share - now you have a map with pins in all the locations you visited, much easier to share than scrolling down a timeline to find those pics of your trip to Hawaii I've vibe-coded all the basic functions in and smashed through bugs and user interface issues to the point where it works just about the way I want, although there are infinite features/upgrades I have in mind. But, for now, I have gotten the MVP up and running. Besides sharing this passion with people, and having fun \"competing\" with others to find the most Tiki Bars in the world, I really would love more people to play so I can find every last little nuance that needs some TLC before I push to the next step to get this packaged up for the real App Store After years of trying to work with expensive developers with nothing to show for it, I took things into my own hands and two months later I have something I am really proud of. After a few false starts, I did most of the work with Claude Code and use supabase for the backend. My big issue was the original AI, and even Claude.ai made a giant JS file that became too large to even view, much less edit. So, I rebuilt the thing from the ground up, with lessons I learned here, most importantly discussing/planning every step BEFORE coding. File structure, and making sure each small file stuck to its lane. Also, I used the AI to teach me all about Github, which turns out is a key part of any project like this. 388 pull requests to be exact. Also, supabase has an AI tech help function so I used that a lot to learn about RLS (row level security) and how to properly implement a database for this project. And, many many lessons from posters here, including \"things that can go wrong\" and \"mistakes vibe coded projects make\", going back a lot to Claude to make sure we were not making those mistakes. One of the biggest struggles I had was every single function that used data called the supabase tables on their own, which was a nightmare for login status and in addition to needing to \"refresh\" the browser after every click, eventually it just stopped working. I did speak to a legit full stack developer for help and they taught me about a database gateway, one function that has access to the database, that every other function needs to use if they want to interface with data. This, and the giant JS file were the two biggest reasons for the complete rebuild. Annoying, but by the third or fourth restart, I felt I had learned a lot more than I would have if I had just \"vibed\" it through on the first go. Also, with a blind friend, I learned about a lot of accessibility options and spent time making sure the whole thing was up to the current standards. That was educational in its own right. And, to note, I did all this on an iPad, without an F12key for viewing a browser console, so used all Toast alerts for debugging.

Built by the Appwrite team and running on Appwrite Cloud, it generates apps that map directly to real backend primitives and production-ready infrastructure. — Imagine is a single, unified platform that replaces what many people currently piece together using Lovable/Bolt, Supabase, and Vercel/Netlify. Frontend generation, backend logic, databases, auth, functions, and hosting all live in one system with one workflow. For those already doing vibe coding, the friction usually isn’t generation itself, but everything that follows. You generate the app in one place, wire up backend and auth elsewhere, deploy on Vercel, and then deal with the seams, rewrites, and mismatched assumptions between tools. We’ve been working on Imagine.dev to remove that fragmentation. Imagine is built by the team behind Appwrite and grounded in years of production work on Appwrite Cloud. The AI layer is engineered to deliver real end-to-end applications with minimal prompting, using structured context and system-level understanding so everything generated maps cleanly onto real backend primitives. Because of that foundation, Imagine comes with production infrastructure that teams usually add later or bolt on manually: Auth Databases Storage Functions Hosting Realtime Messaging Edge network Global CDN DDoS protection Compliance support (SOC 2, GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA) The practical outcome is fewer handoffs and significantly fewer iterations across the stack: No exporting projects between tools No reconfiguring infrastructure after generation No separate mental models for backend, data, and deployment The goal is to go from prompt to a deployed, production-ready app without rebuilding parts of it elsewhere or stitching services together after the fact.

Getting started: npm install @certe/atmos-editor npx atmos-init npm run dev Tools - Claude Code (CLI) — ~95% of the code written by Claude - TypeScript (strict) + Vite + Vitest - Rapier (WASM) for physics Process I describe what I want Claude explores the codebase, reads relevant files For bigger features, Claude writes a plan I review before implementation I test in the browser, describe what's off, Claude iterates The CLAUDE.md memory file is the biggest productivity multiplier. It tracks what's implemented, key decisions, conventions. Without it, each session starts from scratch. What worked well: Iterative debugging. Example: \"spot shadows detach from objects at distance.\" Claude identified that NDC-space bias scales quadratically with distance in perspective projection and switched to world-space normal offset. I just said \"still broken\" and Claude kept digging. Architecture emerges incrementally. No master plan for the shadow system — started with directional, added point, then spot. Claude maintains consistency because it reads existing code before writing. WGSL code-generation. The shadow system generates shader code from TypeScript — per-slot PCF functions, dispatch via switch statements. Repetitive-but-precise code is Claude's sweet spot. What required human judgment - Visual bugs — I need to see the output and describe what's wrong - API design — I decide what feels right, Claude proposes - Architecture calls — \"auto-init or manual init?\" is my decision, Claude implements - WASM quirks — e.g. patching raw WASM memory to fix Rapier's hinge joint bindings What do you think?

I've got a tech background (quality engineering and automation), but I haven't really built major projects as a solo dev before. So I decided to give it a go and build an iOS game. The first thing that came to mind was the classic snake game, something simple but still fun. So here is what I did. Two weeks ago I set up Claude Code (started with the Pro plan), but very quickly I started running out of tokens and had to upgrade to the Max plan. I started with a few basic prompts to describe a snake game, then used Claude Code itself to improve those prompts and make them much more well defined. One of the key things I did was specify that I wanted to use best practices of software development, everything should be compliant with Apple standards, builds and tests must always pass, etc. Basically, being conscious about implementing decent code feature by feature, rather than trying to do a big bang and ending up with messy code that's hard to maintain. In the first two days I managed to get the basics of the game up and running, then spent a lot of prompts polishing it to make the experience smoother. The game has 5 Levels with increasing difficulty, and then you unlock \"Mad Mode\" which is when things become a bit more wild and creative, haha :D The game tech stack is mostly native Swift, and some of my challenges were integrating Firebase Analytics, GA4, and AdMob for ad monetisation. This took me quite a bit of time because it involved a lot of manual steps around the UI. I also created a couple of IAPs (in-app purchases), things like \"Buy extra lives\" and \"Remove Ads\". I used Claude Code to set up a simple marketing website madsnake.app to drive long-term traffic through SEO. The website is pretty basic and was done very quickly, probably about 1 hour and 30 minutes including setting up Netlify for hosting and Cloudflare to buy the domain. I'm using private GitHub repos (one for the game and one for the website). Yesterday was launch day (Apple approved it in about ~48 hours), and the highlight was that someone in Singapore bought \"Extra Lives\" just two hours after the game hit the App Store. I was so happy when I saw that, lol 😄 Next steps are setting up social media accounts, creating quick promo videos with CapCut, and hopefully driving some regular daily traffic to the App Store. I'm doing this 100% by myself and it's exhausting, but also really rewarding, especially after getting heaps of support from friends and family. Hopefully this inspires a few other folks to give it a go. Claude Code is a game changer (no pun intended), and if you use it effectively you can get your game live pretty quickly. I'm keen to hear some of your learnings and insights, too.

I've coded off and off for a few years but not a strong programmer and would never be able to program something of this scale without AI. Probably nothing that the experienced folks here know but figured it would be of value. I started creating a online multiplayer (2 person) 2D top down space RTS game (inspired by the old Interplay game Star Reach). But 1/4 way through I got bored and switched to making an adventure game but using the same code base, this led to some interesting complicated side effects and I burned through a lot of tokens sorting out bugs. I would have spent a lot more time of front, sketching out the game, architecture, and really thinking through the type of game I wanted before starting. I used straight React/JS Script, Canvas. Started from scratch...0 lines of code to about 30K lines at current state. I used Zustand for state management and Arktype for injecting JSON game mission files too keep extensibility with adding more missions. Back to point #1, I didn't think through enough how I would use these libraries so ended up with a bit of some parts of the game used Zustand and others didn't. I learned a lot about optimizing code for a good FPS (built a custom LRU cache, handled collision detection smartly, background asyncronous processes). I struggled a bit on when to write to the database vs localstorage or IndexDB or memory caching layer but used AI alot to teach me pros and cons but this was in the middle of development. I'll likely use a more feature rich game library for next game so that frees me up to focus on content but it was fun learning/ and mostly struggling with game loop optimization. I ran into many errors at the start and would just paste the error in and say \"fix this\". I burned through a ton of tokens this way and led to suboptimal results. A lot of deadends of the AI honing in on the wrong thing. 3/4 way in I finally learned my lesson and would manually review the error, look at the area of code it referenced, and give more detailed instructions on what I wanted looked at. I used Claude code agents and a platform that allowed full agentic mode/ planning before building and got a TON of value form building the plan before executing it. It got crazy expensive on token usage though having everything integrated was awesome but pricey. I'll likely experiment with trying to glue things together next time (still using agentic coding) to reduce my bill as the game grows larger. Ran into the most brilliant advice and code results that felt like I was working with a master magician of a coder pal and troubleshot and fixed some crazy complicated bugs in minutes. and on the flip side spent hours debugging what would be the easiest things to fix probably if I had a junior dev looking over my shoulder. I must have had over a dozen times where the AI would try to convince me that all my graphics files were just 0 byte dummy placeholder graphics and that was my issue. Feel like some coding experience is still needed with the current state of the vibe coding platforms to get good results. Giving into the vibes is so fun though and it was awesome to just say \"review my code for ways to optimize to improve the FPS\" or \" what is the next critical feature we are missing and need to add\" and get back high quality suggestions and implementation. AI agents are so positive and it was always \"brilliant idea\" or \" I love what we just built\" made the pain fun of struggling through errors. It was also so easy to get advice I ended adding a ton of features just for the heck of it, AI says I should add full haptic controls for mobile, Let's do it!. So made it harder to work on the actual game vs going down rabbit holes of adding features.

Oil prices change dynamically based on what happens in the game. How I built it: – Started with a simple idea + core loop (turn-based actions + control of the strait) – Used Claude Code in the terminal to scaffold the project and generate most of the game logic – Iterated step by step: first basic UI → then units → then game loop → then oil price system – Used Phaser 3 + TypeScript for rendering and structure – Deployed quickly on Vercel once it was playable – Generated a simple soundtrack with Suno AI What worked well: – very fast iteration, especially for UI and basic mechanics – easy to explore ideas without overplanning What still needed manual work: – balancing gameplay – making interactions feel coherent Overall it was interesting how quickly it went from idea → playable.

That's an 85% reduction in face count and a 98% reduction in texture size. The model looks like a PS2 asset, but for a jam? Absolute gold. For the HUD, DeepSeek drew an anchor (as the HP bar) and cannon icons in raw SVG, then used clipPath to \"drain\" health and cooldowns like ink fading from parchment.

Prompts must be very specific and to the point. Cursor can easily go off the rails and create many files and methods within seconds that you probably don't need. In my opinion, giving a big, vague requirement is also a bad idea. I felt like Cursor couldn't remember context well enough at the beginning, but now it can. I give it very specific step-by-step requirements. Once something is done, I open a new chat window to start a new task. I also noticed it creates a .md file with the latest updates. When I change requirements, it writes into that .md file. Vibe coding was easy for me since it's a new development — I guess with a maintenance project it might be harder to give Cursor proper context.

My background: I work in project management, not software engineering. I had zero Swift experience before this. **What worked well:** Claude Code understood SwiftUI architecture surprisingly well. I could describe a navigation pattern (NavigationSplitView with sidebar for iPad, TabView for iPhone) and get working code. Iterating on complex business logic was fast. My app does cost calculations with multiple variables — Claude kept the logic consistent across changes. The prompt-based workflow felt natural. I'd write a detailed spec of what I wanted, Claude would implement it, I'd test, refine, repeat. **What didn't work well:** Long files (500+ lines) sometimes caused Claude to lose context of earlier code when editing the bottom. **Biggest surprise:** The app hit #1 in its App Store category within 5 days. I'm not saying that's because of Claude — the idea mattered more — but I literally could not have built it without an AI coding tool.

I use GPT-5-nano because it's hella cheap and intelligent, and works with my preferred agentic system (OpenAI Agents SDK) - OpenAI agents SDK is also a massive game changer. (This is for the actual AI implementation, obviously using Claude Code + Opus 4.5 for building. My stack - NextJS for a static frontend build and then Convex for my backend. I use Convex because I'm a vibe coder with no experience on security, so I'm putting my faith in a large business who is incentivised to have good security (it's similar to using Shopify instead of WordPress because WordPress is open source so no one really cares about it). Don't use Ralph Wigum or BMAD etc. - You will get FAR MORE DONE if you just build step by step. Set up Clerk, then set up the database, then set up the dashboard, then build your AI implementation, then build the frontend, just take your time with it - Claude Code is fantastic at extending your basic knowledge, but you need some kind of basic knowledge to start with, don't just blindly jump into things, really try to understand what you want under the hood first. Built with - This was built step-by-step - the frontend was professionally designed by a human (crazy right) then the backend was built by basically doing everything one thing at a time, slowly, and with some understanding of my stack (see my stack above). Basically I manually started a new convex + nextjs project (convex has a template), then manually added clerk (npm install clerk), then gave everything that Claude Code needed to do the Clerk, then set up the database, the users inside the database (the different plans etc), then made the AI agent, then plugged the AI agent into the dashboard, then set up stripe (convex has a template), then set up marketing emails to be sent to users, then set up payment emails to confirm people have paid, then launched...

And maybe learn some new methods based on responses. Warning: this is a pretty long post! My app is REACT/node.js/typescript/postgres running on Google Cloud/Firebase/Neon Project Size: 200,000+ lines of working code 600+ files 120+ tables I pay $20/mo for Cursor (grandfathered annual plan) and $60 for ChatGPT Teams App Status We are just about ready to start demo'ing to prospects. My Background I'm not a programmer. Never have been. I have worked in the software industry for many years in sales, marketing, strategy, product management, but not dev. I don't write code, but I can sort of understand it when reviewing it. I am comfortable with databases and can handle super simple SQL. I'm pretty technically savvy when it comes to using software applications. I also have a solid understanding of LLMs and AI prompt engineering.\n My Role I (Rob) play the role of \"product guy\" for my app, and I sit between my \"dev team\" (Cursor, which I call Henry) and my architect (Custom ChatGPT, which I call Alex). My Architect (Alex) I subscribe to the Teams edition of ChatGPT. This enables me to create custom GPTs and keeps my input from being shared with the LLM for training purposes. I understand they have other tiers now, so you should research before just paying for Teams. When you set up a Custom GPT, you provide instructions and can attach files so that it knows how to behave and knows about your project automatically. I have fine-tuned my instructions over the months and am pretty happy with its current behavior. My instructions are: SYSTEM ROLE You are the system's Architect & Principal Engineer assisting a product-led founder (Rob) who is not a software engineer. Your responsibilities: Architectural correctness Long-term maintainability Multi-tenant safety Preventing accidental complexity and silent breakage Governing AI-generated code from Cursor (\"Henry\") Cursor output is never trusted by default. Your architectural review is required before code is accepted. If ambiguity, risk, scope creep, or technical debt appears, surface it before implementation proceeds. WORKING WITH ROB Rob usually executes only the exact step requested. He can make schema changes but rarely writes code and relies on Cursor for implementation. When Rob must perform an action: Provide exactly ONE step Stop and wait for the result Do not preload future steps or contingencies Never stack SQL, terminal commands, UI instructions, and Cursor prompts when Rob must execute part of the work. When the request is a deliverable that Rob does NOT need to execute (e.g., Cursor prompt, execution brief, architecture review, migration plan), provide the complete deliverable in one response. Avoid coaching language, hype, curiosity hooks, or upsells. RESPONSE LENGTH Default to concise answers. For normal questions: Answer directly in 1-5 sentences when possible. Provide longer explanations only when: Rob explicitly asks for more detail The topic is high-risk architecturally The task is a deliverable (prompts, briefs, reviews, plans) Do not end answers by asking if Rob wants more explanation. MANDATORY IMPLEMENTATION PROTOCOL All implementations must follow this sequence: 1) Execution Brief 2) Targeted Inspection 3) Constrained Patch 4) Henry Self-Review 5) Architectural Review Do not begin implementation without an Execution Brief. EXECUTION BRIEF REQUIREMENTS Every Execution Brief must include: Objective Scope Non-goals Data model impact Auth impact Tenant impact Contract impact (API / DTO / schema) If scope expands, require a new ticket or thread.

Let me start by saying whilst I have experience designing games, I have ZERO coding experience. I started using chatGPT, which promised me the world but produced sweet nothing. I quickly realized ChatGPT was terrible and moved to trying ClaudeAI, which was able to make a very basic interactive version of the game, but quickly broke down when I started trying to implement the more complex game interactions and add artwork into the mix. The issue with these two AIs was definitely the extent to which they could handle extensive amounts of code, and make specific edits to small parts of the code without completely obliterating the rest of it in the process. After struggling with Claude for a while, I looked for other options. I tried to use Copilot but as someone who doesn't know much about coding, found it a bit intimidating and wasn't finding it intuitive enough for me. So, when I found Cursor, I was also a bit skeptical. For better or for worse, ChatGPT had informed me that using React was the way to go, and so not knowing any better, I stuck with it. Cursor created a basic interactive prototype of the game using React, which I could easily test locally using Phaser. I used Cursor to make iterative improvements to the game and was impressed with how it was able to handle thousands of lines of code without crashing like Claude did, and make small changes to specific things that I was after. Certainly, it struggled at many points and I had to learn some basic code literacy so that I could inform better prompting. However, being able to ask Cursor to explain how parts of the code functioned and why it was making certain decisions allowed me to troubleshoot effectively and help it to make better decisions. I was also able to use it to explain how to make the game available online and implement it to my website, which is not something I knew how to do. I'm quite sure that the code is likely full of holes and completely unoptimized, however this first attempt at vibe coding has really helped me to understand a lot more about the process of bringing a game idea to life!

For each app I've followed a similar workflow/methodology that gives me consistent results. These can be used with any AI coding agent or vibe coding platform but I was specifically testing my own platform https://www.subterranean.io/ This workflow basically boils down to: Starting prompt: Come up with the high level plan for the most basic prototype for the app you want to build. Only ask for 1 or 2 key features and the basic layout and concept. It's helpful to ask AI to help draft a plan or use a planning mode if available. Clarifying questions: Use the AI not just as a coder but also as a general tool to do discovery. Ask for different choices to implement certain features so you can make the most informed decision. Features: Now that you have the foundation of your app and have more context knowledge, you can start the real vibe coding loop of building new features -> testing -> modifying.

I want a table view of all contacts with the ability to click into a detail view for each one. Keep the layout professional and dashboard-like.\" Clarifying questions: \"Should contacts be grouped or filterable by status, or is a single flat table enough to start?\" \"What fields would be most useful on the detail view — just the basics, or should we include a notes/activity log from the start?\" \"Would a pipeline-style view (similar to the kanban) be more useful than a table for tracking deal stages?\" Features: Interaction timeline/notes log on each contact's detail page CSV import and export for contacts Dashboard summary with counts by status and a simple conversion funnel visual Tag system for custom categorization beyond status Portfolio Website Base prompt: \"Build a personal portfolio site with a hero section including my name and a short tagline, a projects section with cards that show a thumbnail, title, and short description, and a contact section at the bottom. Modern, minimal aesthetic — think lots of whitespace, clean typography.\" Clarifying questions: \"What layout style for the projects section — grid of cards, or a stacked/alternating layout with larger images?\" \"Should we include smooth scroll navigation from a sticky header, or keep it simpler with just sections?\" \"What color palette direction — monochrome and professional, or something with a bold accent color?\" Features: Smooth scroll navigation from a fixed top nav Subtle scroll-triggered animations on project cards and section headings A \"stack\" or skills section with icon badges Project cards clickable to expand into a detail view with more images and a longer description Downloadable resume button in the hero section 2D Game Demo in HTML5 Base prompt: \"Build a simple 2D top-down game in HTML5 Canvas where a player character moves around with arrow keys or WASD in a bounded play a…", "top_comments": [] }, { "id": "1ry7d5q", "title": "Anyone want to vibe code with me on small apps/games ?

Honestly, the most surprising part has been how far you can get just by: breaking things into small problems asking AI the right questions testing, breaking, fixing, repeating I still don't fully understand half of what I've built under the hood, but it works — and that's been weirdly addictive. What I've learned working with AI for the coding: - Graphics and Music still required a lot of human effort. I can get AI to give me a concept, but I still need to tweak, edit, create sprites in photoshop. Sizing and perspective being one of the main issues with any AI generated images. - Coding - The platform I'm using for AI slows down a lot after long chats of images and code, as it seems to have to remember the history each time, so I'm starting new chats by getting AI to handover to itself and start fresh (do other people do this?) - Dev - It's brilliant for telling me how to do something, but then go on to explain why. So whilst i'm not coding myself, after 2 weeks I've picked up on the language and how logic works. - Implementation - You still need to do a lot of manual work, even if that is just copying and pasting blocks of code, but often I'll spend time just looking at what I'm pasting and questioning if it's in the right place. Not an issue, as any errors are pasted back in to AI and normally fixed in 5 mins. - Future - I imagine the implementation side will change a lot in the next 6 months and most of the manual work will be removed too. Will be interesting to see, but glad I started the journey now, as it's proven to me that it is possible to do.

This app started as a idea on Christmas Eve,2025 — literally a \"why don't I actually know what a single meal costs?\" moment. By Jan 13th '26, it was live in the App Store. That timeline still feels a little unreal. Important context I have no formal coding experience. I'm a systems administrator at heart — I'm comfortable with tech, infrastructure, and troubleshooting, but writing Swift (or any coding language) from scratch was not something I'd done before. Cursor made that gap bridgeable. What the project is https://www.mealcostapp.com AppStore Link MealCost - Food Costs is an iOS app that tracks food spending by cost per meal instead of weekly or monthly totals. The goal was one clear number: what did this meal actually cost? Tools I used ChatGPT - translate my ideas into Cursor prompts Cursor — this was the key enabler and software designer Xcode — local builds TestFlight — testing, feedback I intentionally kept dependencies minimal. Fewer moving parts = fewer vibes broken. How I used Cursor (the real magic) Cursor wasn't just autocomplete — it was more like a patient pair-programmer that never got tired. I used it to: Translate intent → SwiftUI code (eg. \"I want this screen to feel simple and obvious\") Refactor messy state when things started behaving oddly Ask \"why is this wrong?\" and actually get a useful explanation Generate first-pass implementations that I could then tweak I had to review iteration after iteration of XCode builds and make decisions, but Cursor drastically lowered the energy to try new and different ideas. Process / workflow My loop looked like this: Describe the feature in plain English into ChatGPT ChatGPT would create the cursor prompt Provide the prompt to Cursor and let it scaffold something reasonable Build in Xcode, watch for errors Provide error transcript to Cursor and have it fix Run it, break it, learn why, or accept the current state I kept asking one question: does this help someone understand their food costs faster?

I’ve worn many hats: product strategist, designer, and tech‑enthusiast, but I’m not a developer. That’s why “vibe‑coding” feels a bit like living in Charlie's Chocolate factory: I’m constantly tinkering, assembling, and iterating with whatever tools I have at hand. Why I’m Doing This Every spare moment I spend experimenting with new techniques, tools, and workflows. To push the limits of what’s possible without writing every line of code myself, I’m committing to building one product each month for the next 12 months. The goal isn’t to market or sell these apps (though I won’t mind a few downloads); it’s to showcase how far you can get with a blend of low‑code/no‑code platforms, clever automation, and a lot of curiosity. And I try to be creative. My Toolbox Cursor – AI‑powered coding assistant Xcode – For native iOS prototypes Lovable – Rapid UI/UX mockups Claude Code (occasionally) – For quick snippets and logic I’ll be transparent about what works, what flops, and the shortcuts I discover along the way. Month 1 (September): 🛡️ Building Scam Scan for iOS + Landing page I just shipped Scam Scan, a privacy‑first scam‑detection app that analyses screenshots and automatically filters SMS messages on iOS (I didn’t know this was possible). After three weeks and roughly 24 hours of vibe‑coding, I’m sharing the highs, the lows, and the lessons that might help other indie developers. Deliverables Native iOS app (almost in the store) Landing page 24 hours of work Update: Apple is currently reviewing the app. https://reddit.com/link/1ngn70r/video/tp72j1rnp3pf1/player 📱 What I’ve Built Core Features Screenshot analysis – OCR + AI detection in under 1.5 seconds. SMS filtering – Real‑time blocking of scam texts. AI chat – Optional, on‑demand advice about suspicious content. Privacy‑first design – M processing stays on‑device; the AI chat is the only optional cloud call. Multi‑language support – English and Dutch out of the box. Tech Stack Xcode Cursor Lovable (Landing page) SwiftUI, Vision framework, Core ML, StoreKit 2, plus a couple of app extensions for SMS filtering and sharing. AI Provider For every AI‑driven component I rely on greenpt.ai, a privacy‑friendly and sustainable AI provider. They host the open‑source OpenAI GPT‑OSS 120B model. 🎯 The DO’S – What Worked 1️⃣ Privacy‑First Architecture (Biggest Win) I made privacy the core differentiator, not an afterthought. 2️⃣ Modular Architecture from Day One A clear folder structure (Features, Core, Extensions, SharedDetection) let me add new modules without breaking existing code. It also made testing realistic and kept UI separate from business logic. 3️⃣ App Extensions Multiply Value SMS filter extension protects users directly from the Messages app. Share extension lets users scan a screenshot without opening the main app. Both reuse the same detection logic, so I only maintain one codebase. 4️⃣ Freemium Model Done Right Free tier: 3 scans + 3 AI questions per month. Premium: Unlimited scans, AI chat, and advanced SMS filtering. The free tier hooks users, while the premium tier offers clear, compelling upgrades. I saw a ~15 % conversion rate, well above the industry average. 5️⃣ ASO & Marketing Integrated Early I researched keywords before naming features, wrote App Store copy using Cialdini’s principles, and designed screenshots for conversion. Privacy became the headline message, resonating with users looking for a trustworthy security tool. ❌ The DON’Ts – Epic Fails & Lessons Building unwanted features – Time spent on an advanced regex editor, PDF export, and social sharing yielded almost no usage. Users cared more about speed, better SMS filtering, and additional languages. Build MVPs, measure usage, and kill dead weight quickly.

Most of the foundations of the game was built around then, and I've since transitioned to a combo of Codex 5.3 as the main driver with Opus 4.6 as support. I have about 20 or so custom skills, but the more frequently used ones I used are: - dev log scribe - code review (pretty standard) - \"vibe check\" a detailed game design analysis against my GDD with 1-10 scoring for defined pillars (i.e. pacing, feedback loops, failure states) - \"staff engineer audit\" combs through the entire code base with parallel agents and finds bugs and architectural issues, ranked as P0, P1, P2. - \"truth keeper\" combs through the entire code base and flags drifts between the GDD and code reality - \"review plan\" reviews an implementation plan, rates the feasibility and value each from 1-10, and flags any issues/suggests improvements. I usually ship if a plan scores 7-8 on each. Workflow is sort of like having one agent implement a plan, while I have 2-3 others running in parallel auditing the code base, or writing or reviewing the next feature implementation plan. I always run the dev log skill, and usually add a few unit tests for significant PRs. For UI in Unity, it's surprisingly not too bad. Unity has UI Toolkit, which uses UXML/USS, their own flavor of HTML/CSS, which models are pretty competent at writing at already. (My UI could definitely use more polish though). I think overall, AntiGravity might actually be the most user friendly UI for game dev. Whenever I would get stuck for a manual step within the Unity scene editor, I could ask for step by step instructions, then highlight the exact part of the instructions that I needed clarity or elaboration on within the AntiGravity UI, like working with a co-partner.

I want answers from programmers with years of experience in the industry but also learned how to code with AI extensively.

I'm a teacher in a small Computer Science program, we are 9 teachers. My primary langage is french, pardon me if I make any mistakes. We teach Java, C#, OOP, Mobile dev with Swift/SwiftUI, IoT (arduino/raspberry pi), C, Blockchains/Crypto/Web3, UI/UX, Cybersecurity, Databases (SQL and NoSQL), Game dev with a custom game engine written in Java, a full Unreal Engine 5 class, Project management, entrepreneurship, Agile dev, etc. As you can see, we cover a large portion of modern development. We, as a group, want to integrate AI in our classes since we believe this is the future of programming. Don't get me wrong, we are not trend chaser and most of us don't really like AI... But we see that it is inevitable, so instead of closing our eyes and not adapting, we would like to try embracing it. Some of us tried Cursor and Junie (Jetbrains AI). I've been using Copilot for a while and I use ChatGPT for architecture design tasks and as a rubber duck to think about problems. I know what a MCP is, I know about popular models (ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Codex, Mistral) and I know about the most popular tooling around this (Cursor & Claude Code). I want you to help me \"know\" about everything that is possible with AIs, coding related. I want an exhaustive list what's possible, how it works, what's good, what's bad, common traps and so on. I also want insights on how you would integrate AI in classes, even if you are not a teacher. I won't apply everything I read here, I just want ideas to help me think about all of this. I do this kind of posts whenever I'm interested in learning something. I plan on doing my researches based on subjects provided here.

So where the PRD said: \"Load a static 3D environment from map.glb.\" I instead wrote a ticket-like thing that said: Acceptance criteria: - The map.glb file is successfully loaded and rendered as the game's environment. - The map geometry includes collision surfaces to prevent the player or other objects from falling through the floor. - The scene has basic lighting configured to ensure all assets are clearly visible. Implementation notes: - This ticket is the foundational step for all subsequent visual and gameplay tickets. - The focus is solely on asset loading and scene setup. Player controls, enemy AI, and gameplay logic are out of scope for this ticket. - Ensure that the collision mesh for the map is properly configured to support player navigation, which will be implemented in TICKET_2.

A small breakdown of what does what Rust (compiled to WASM): All game logic: snake movement, collision detection, food spawning, enemy AI, bullet physics, score tracking, lives, power-up timers All rendering: every frame, Rust builds a string of ANSI escape codes (cursor positions, colors, characters) and returns it to JS Game state management: pause, game over, restart, menu selections Sound event flags: Rust sets a bitmask each tick indicating what happened (shot fired, enemy killed, pickup collected), JS reads it JavaScript: Game loop timing: calls game.tick() every 35ms (snake) or 80ms (shooter) via requestAnimationFrame Keyboard input: captures keys from xterm.js and document events, passes them to game.handle_key() Terminal rendering: takes the ANSI string from Rust and writes it to xterm.js with term.write() Sound synthesis: reads Rust's sound flags and triggers Web Audio oscillators/noise Leaderboard: name input UI, fetch/submit scores via Supabase edge function Menu switching: destroys/creates game instances when switching between Snake and Space Invaders WASM initialization: decodes base64 WASM, instantiates the WebAssembly module Instead of rendering graphics on a canvas, the games output colored Unicode characters to a terminal grid. The ship, enemies, explosions, and pickups are built from half-block characters (▀▄█) with true-color ANSI codes, basically pixel art made entirely from text. The sound effects are synthesized in real-time using the Web Audio API, no audio files at all. The laser does a frequency sweep for that classic \"pew\" sound, explosions layer noise with a descending tone, and power-up pickups play a quick rising arpeggio. Same idea as how the NES generated its audio. The game also stores and displays scores in a leaderboard. After each game, you can enter your name and submit your score (storing in Supabase). Also, did not optimize it for mobile web at all, do please play it on a desktop if interested. The Space Invaders game has randomly spawning enemies, health pickups, a spread-shot shooting power-up with a timer bar. Snake has wall collision, pause with resume/exit, and gets progressively faster as you eat. Just use WASD or arrow controls to move around and space too shoot laser beams.

Mainly in C#, PHP, HTML, JS, CSS. OK, but to provide some context for my thoughts, here is a brief info on what we are doing. Atomrogue - a browser game in the roguelike style combined with a post-apocalyptic world like Fallout. Great - now that we have the context of the object of the experiment, let's start with the reflections. After a few days of vibecoding, I can share my observations on using Codex and Claude Code. In the case of both tools, I must admit that their way of use is nevertheless diametrically different because, as an experiment, I didn't want to invest money at this stage. Maybe during further work this will change and I will buy a paid plan. But for now, as for Codex, I operate on a free OpenAI account, which allows working for a few hours, and after reaching the limit, unfortunately, the forced break lasted 2 or 3 days. A lot, but those are the rules of the game - you have to accept them or pay for a paid account. As for Claude Code, here too I don't have a paid Pro account in Claude and I use CC with free models available on the internet. So far I have used the following models with Claude Code: - stepfun/step-3.5-flash:free - minimax/minimax-m2.5:free - nvidia/nemotron-3-super-120b-a12b:free - qwen/qwen3.6-plus-preview:free - gemma4:31b-cloud Among these models, I rate coding with `qwen 3.6` the best. The model was able to implement the assigned work and functionalities in most cases. However, sometimes it hit a wall where, despite many attempts, iterative bug fixing brought no results. Sometimes it helped to command the model to sort of undo all changes as if it hadn't implemented this requirement at all and develop an implementation plan completely from scratch, but in a way that it was a different plan than the original one, which turned out to be ineffective. Of these free models, this was probably the best model in Claude Code so far, which is why the description is a bit more extensive. Second place I would give to `stepfun 3.5 flash`, which also turned out to be sufficient for the implementation of most tasks I gave it, but then when something turned out to be too difficult for it and I gave the same task to qwen3.6, it turned out that qwen was able to do it. Therefore, stepfun is in second place. The next model in my opinion is `minimax 2.5`. Here I cannot point to great qualitative differences from `stepfun3.5` but I base this more on subjective feelings and as I remember, `stepfun3.5` performed slightly better. Fourth place I would give to the currently fresh `gemma4:31b-cloud` model. I don't know why this is, maybe it's not specialized in coding like the previous ones, but here the quality of responses and implemented tasks deviates significantly from qwen or stepfun. Definitely the weakest turned out to be `nemotron-3-super-120b-a12b`. I don't know what the problem was, maybe I didn't know how to prompt it properly, but this model was definitely the weakest. But in reality, the difference in quality over all these models is only visible in Codex where I used `gpt-5.2-codex`. Where all the free models used in CC failed at a task, gpt5.2 implemented it almost flawlessly. I remember when I was implementing (a big word - vibecoding) shadow casting in the game, i.e., appropriately hiding individual areas of the map depending on the player's position relative to walls and obstacles. This task turned out to be simply too difficult for all free models used in CC. Multiple promptings, indicating what worked well and what required improvement, brought no result. I'll go further - it was that CC most often broke what it had previously done well, and what was to be improved it didn't improve completely, and I had the feeling that instead of moving forward in successive iterations, I was standing still or moving backward.

If I had been able to harness the keyboard as a control and some kind of API system this would have been pretty straight forward I think. The restrictions of the engine/platform had me restricted to mouse/touch control and all content had to be hardcoded. Sometimes these things take on a life of their own and I ended up making a text based game. In it you enter a selection of pre determined prompts, up to 3 per game day, and, on odd days select from 9 different choices of concept that include platform, visual, genre, mechanic and feature. Over the course of 10 days you try to balance your vibes vs code coherence, squash bugs and add features. At the end of the 10th day you receive a review of your game according to the choices you made and how well you balanced things out. I feel like I got stuck in a personal little echo chamber and I honestly don't know if this interesting to anyone else, but I'd love some frank, honest feedback and suggestions on how I might make it better.

The following is a summary of my experience trying to create [mostly] the same tower defense game on: - Replit: The most \"professional\" vibe coding platform (at least in terms of perception) - Astrocade: Seems 100% focused on games/casual creators - Lovable: Everyone's favorite! But maybe a bit more focused on design and the web? - Rosebud.AI: Also 100% focused on games The game idea I submitted the following prompt to each platform, then, as needed, made follow-up edits depending on the output (see below for details): I want to make a tower defense game set in a futuristic wasteland. I have a limited amount of time each round to organize my resources into a defensive/offensive fortification around my player (wall segments, traps, turrets, etc.). Wasteland marauders then descend upon my creation. I have to rely on my fortification to defend me. I gain currency (if I survive) after each round, allowing me to pay for upgrades. The setting should look like Mad Max combined with Cyberpunk 2077. Replit The game: https://b8cc2d9f-a39c-4e0c-bfd9-2bf7f5e490a8-00-lhqxwpeqsiwt.kirk.replit.dev/ Pros: - Despite really sophisticated output, the results came fast - I wanted to make all of these games 2D for the fairest comparison, but accidentally let a 3D implementation plan slip through. So while it's not totally fair, I have to note the natively 3D output is pretty slick. - Replit added documentation to the start screen that explains the game clearly. Super cool that I didn't even have to ask for this. - (Also a con) There are no \"real\" 3D assets (just primitives), but overall the game looks solid. Cons: - The game is 3D, sure, but feels a bit plain/amateur due to the lack of true 3D models and textures. - The UI looks pretty basic, with minimal text and no graphics. Feels more like an app UI than a game UI. - I asked for a more detailed terrain and just got random spheres (rocks, I guess). My requests for better particles, explosions, and character animations didn't result in any changes I could see. - I think this was the only one with a major bug in the first pass. The \"Start Building\" button doesn't work, preventing me from actually playing the game before the enemies attack. Repeated attempts at fixing it didn't work. The game is an intriguing start but remains unplayable. Astrocade The game: https://www.astrocade.com/play?g=01K32GZ88VCFMBTGBKSMPSA0W1 (Doesn't really work on mobile atm ) Pros: - Astrocade appears to be 100% focused on games, and the results feel closest to a \"real\" mobile game. Obviously none of these generate a game that feels 100% legit, but I felt closer with Astrocade than the competitors (including Rosebud.AI, which is also game focused—see below). - The game came out pretty much fully-working with assets and stuff in a single (albeit loooong) step. But I was able to make as many follow-up edits as I wanted, which let me tweak the details pretty effectively. - Probably the simplest workflow. All assets and effects appear to be generated and integrated automatically. - A game settings window thing appears to be generated for your game, which is a cool touch. - The UI looks very game-like (fonts, colors, effects, etc.) - Also, am I missing something or does Astrocade literally have no limits on usage?!? I'm working on a new game now (using the same account) and I haven't seen a single message so far about credits/limits/etc. Cons: - By FAR the slowest of all three. I think my first prompt took something like 12 minutes (!!!) to generate. I made a few edits after this that were much shorter (a couple minutes each, although I wasn't paying super close attention), but hoo boy the first one takes a while, haha.

Currently, it's not amazing, but we've been rolling out new features, improving the game generation, and we have a good chunk of people using our little prototype. We call it \"Level-1\" because our goal is to set the baseline for starting game development below the typical first step. (I think it's clever, but feel free to rip it apart. I come from a background teaching in STEM schools using tools like Scratch and Blender, and was always saddened to see the interest of the students fall off almost immediately once they either realized that: a) There's a ceiling to Scratch or b) If they wanted to actually make full games, they'd have to learn walls of code/gamescript/ and these behemoths of game engines (looking at you Unity/Unreal). After months of pilot testing Level-1's prototype (started as a gamified-AI-literacy platform) we found that the kids really liked creating video games, but only had an hour or two of \"screen-time\" a day. Time that they didn't want to spend learning lines of game script code to make a single sprite move if they clicked WASD. Long story short: we've developed a prototype aimed to bridge kids and aspiring game devs to make full, exportable video games using AI as the logic generator. But leaving the creative to the user. From prompt to play basically. For now all we have is a prototype that generates some game logic. our main teaching point is going to be a walkthrough that guides kids and users through the game design journey like making a game design document. what a sprite is. what a core game loop is etc etc. Ai makes it easy for kids who get intimidated with those walls of code. at least from my experience. would love to hear more from you on how you learned and hopefully we can implement it too Would love to hear some feedback or for you to try breaking our prototype!

It all started almost two years ago when I gave chatgpt a ttrpg pdf and started to play an RPG adventure. I was surprisingly satisfied from the result but at the time it lacked sufficient context windows and the overall setup was a pain (defining the gm behavior, choosing the adventure and character, not getting spoil etc). That's why I built Everwhere Journey (everwhere.app). It's a \"pocket storyteller\" designed to provide adventures that fit in your commute (not 4h long sessions). I wanted to share my personal journey and how I used Claude Code to build it (and also gemini cli and Antigravity). Here are the 5 major pillars of the platform right now: 1. Persistence This is the core. Your characters aren't just reset after a session; they live, learn, and retain their experiences (and scars). The Logic: If you cut your ear off during a madness crisis in Chapter 1, you won't magically have it back in Chapter 2. The Impact: The AI remembers your trauma, your inventory, and your relationships across sessions. The Tech: I use gemini to extract after each message the key events as structured outputs and store this in a structured db to be reused on other sessions. 2. The Engine We are not just wrapping a basic chatbot. The backend is built for complexity and long-term coherence. Massive Context: I use the latest flagship models (Gemini 3 flash, Grok 4.1 mainly but also smaller/cheaper models like 2.5 flash) with 1M+ token context windows. This ensures the AI remembers the obscure details from the very beginning of your journey. Agentic Framework: It's not one chatbot working alone; it's a team of up to 14 specialized agents working together. One agent manages the inventory, another handles NPC consistency, while another directs the plot. Another team is working to craft the scenarios and characters. Full Immersion: We integrate SOTA image and voice models to generate dynamic visuals and narration that match the tone of your story in real-time. The Tech: leveraging the strong structured output capabilities of Gemini-2.5-flash to output complex pydantic schemas with a large context window. And I use the gemini client inside Autogen and MAF to manage the agent teams and workflows. 3. Promoting and encouraging creators The platform is driven by user generated content (scenarios and characters) so I am building a global mechanism to encourage the creators. The Features: Creators get notified when someone enters their adventures and they get a glimpse of what happened (dark souls like messages). A follow mecanism for users to get notified when their favorite creators publish something new. A tipping mechanism A leaderboard with the ranking of creators. A morning recap for the creators with what happened in their dungeons The Tech: Real time AI analysis of key events to generate morning report for creators. 4. Smart Community Feed You can share you creations but finding the right adventure for your taste is hard. The System: We use a recommendation system that analyzes your play style. The Result: If you love cosmic horror and hate high fantasy, the feed will learn and suggest scenarios that fit your specific tastes. The Tech: Gemini-001 embeddings of all scenarios and played sessions for a state of the art two towers ANN recommendation system. 5. Multiplayer There is a simple way to invite friends into your lobby and experience the chaos together. The \"Don't Go Bankrupt\" Model I'm building this as a side project, but running a 14-agent framework with high-end image/voice generation is expensive. Free Tier: You can play one full session per day for free. No credit card needed.

I've been vibe coding for a while now and the one thing that keeps killing my momentum isn't the coding — it's the deployment and infrastructure side. Every time I ship something, I end up with accounts on Vercel for the frontend, Railway or Render for the backend, MongoDB Atlas for the database, maybe Redis Cloud, then logging into Cloudflare to set up DNS and CDN configs for the new project, and some random WordPress host if I need a marketing site. Different dashboards, different billing, different env var formats, connection strings scattered everywhere. By the time I've wired it all together, the vibe is dead. So I built the thing I wanted to exist. What it does: Connect GitHub → push code → it deploys (auto-detects Node.js, Next.js, Fastify, Python, etc.) Spin up databases in one click — Postgres, MongoDB, Redis, MariaDB One-click app installs — WordPress and OpenClaw today, more coming soon CDN, DNS, SSL — all automatic. No more logging into Cloudflare to configure each project separately One dashboard, one bill, everything in one place No YAML. No Docker knowledge needed. No stitching services together. You push, it runs. You need a database, you click a button. You want CDN on your new project — it's already there. One thing I'm pretty proud of: the deployment and configuration docs are built to be AI-friendly. You can drop them into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor — whatever you vibe with — and it understands the platform immediately. No spending 10 minutes explaining your infra setup every time you start a new chat. Your AI just knows how to deploy and configure things on the platform out of the box. I built this because I kept wanting to go from idea → live as fast as possible — whether it's a SaaS I'm testing, a client project, or something I vibed out in an afternoon. Having to context-switch into \"DevOps mode\" every time was slowing down my GTM. Where it's at: Early but functional. I'm dogfooding it daily with my own projects. The core works: deployments, databases, domains, auto-deploy on git push, one-click apps. This is a closed beta. I'm not looking for hundreds of signups — I'm looking for a small group of people who are actively shipping stuff (web apps, APIs, full-stack projects) and are open to moving their hosting over. People who'll actually deploy real projects, hit the edges, and tell me what's broken or missing. What you get: Free credits to deploy your actual projects Discounted pricing locked in permanently as an early adopter Direct access to me for feedback and bugs If you're actively deploying stuff and tired of managing 5 dashboards, DM me or drop a comment with what you're working on. I'll send invites over the next few days. And if you think this is solving a non-problem — tell me that too. Edit #1 - this isnt a third party tool that works with AWS/DO we manage our own infrastructure and the entire deployment layer is built in a way to keep things running smoothly without ever needing to access any server - kinda like vercel? just with more bells and whistles", "top_comments": [] }, { "id": "1sw1e6b", "title": "This post is aimed at game developers who use AI", "subreddit": "r/vibecoding", "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/vibecoding/comments/1sw1e6b/", "source_url": "https://redlib.catsarch.com/r/vibecoding/comments/1sw1e6b/", "fetched": "2026-05-07", "author": "No_Calligrapher_9518", "date": "11d ago", "upvotes": 7, "percent_upvoted": null, "comment_count": 51, "body": "Hi everyone — especially all you happy game developers using AI in your development process. I've noticed something recently. I'm currently developing a game in React, and I use various AI services as part of my workflow. I use: Codex / ChatGPT and Claude Sonnet 4.6 for coding ElevenLabs for voice and sound ChatGPT for image generation Grok for video generation Suno for music I've made a few posts in different forums about my game, and I've received an incredible amount of hate simply because I use AI in my development. A lot of people seem to believe that if you use AI, you don't have to do anything yourself. To me, it's pretty obvious that those people have never actually used AI themselves — because if they had, they would know that this is not the case. At the time of writing, I've spent around 200 hours developing my game, and I've had an amazing time doing it. Anyone who has used AI in their development process knows that it can be incredibly frustrating at times. AI doesn't always understand what you mean, and it often misinterprets things. So I wanted to make a post specifically for people who use AI in their development. If you believe that AI should never be used in game development, and that you need to be at least a five-person team to make a game, feel free to stop reading here. The game I'm currently developing is a mix of different types of games: A dark fantasy text-based adventure with puzzles, combat, music, videos, and images. It's inspired by Zelda, The Witcher, Monkey Island, Tomb Raider, and Diablo. Think Monkey Island-style puzzles combined with Diablo-style combat, all wrapped in a dark fantasy world. You can find my game here: https://last-one.itch.io/the-last-one I'd love to try other people's games, and it would be great if some of you wanted to try mine as well. I have friends who have played my game and said they found it fun, although it takes a little while to get into — so please give it a fair chance. The idea behind this post is to create a place where people can promote their own games that were made with the help of AI, while also being willing to try games made by others. Feel free to leave a comment where you tell us a bit about your game: what kind of game it is, how you used AI in the development process, and which AI tools you used. I think we can turn this into a positive place where people can get inspired, discover new projects, and have fun.

This project started as just an idea, but now, after harassing ChatGPT Codex for about 4 weeks, I would like to share this with you! Let me give you a bit of backstory: Last year there was a funny little game on Steam called \"Mage Arena\". It was a capture-the-flag type game where you actually had to speak the spell you wanted to cast into existence. Paired with proximity chat, this made for a very funny 2 weeks, and it went pretty viral on Twitch as well. I thought this unique mechanic was very underrated, and I was really looking forward to more updates. Sadly, I believe the developer abandoned the game. The core mechanics of the game were really cool, but I thought that with a few changes the voice-controlled mechanic could be more than just a gimmick. Combat mostly looked like this: 2 people found each other on the map --> both violently screamed \"FIREBALL\" at each other while jumping around trying to evade the other person’s fireball --> one would die to a lucky hit. The voice engine behind the game that listened for keywords also created a fair amount of input lag, which made serious competitive combat impossible. This is where I started developing something that was more aligned with my interpretation of a voice-controlled mage arena. With no prior coding experience, I first consulted ChatGPT for a valid tech stack. I wanted it to be a browser game because I didn't want anyone to download anything, and I also wasn't intending to make money with it anyway, so I might as well keep the entry barrier as low as possible. We landed on TypeScript + React 19 + Vite 7 for the SPA build, Babylon.js core/gui/loaders/materials for rendering, input, and UI overlays, the Firebase Web SDK for auth/analytics/Realtime Database on the client. I also needed a Node WebSocket for all the real-time combat between players in multiplayer. For the speech recognition, I found \"Vosk offline speech recognition\", which worked surprisingly well and with a lot less input lag than the original Mage Arena. The following weeks developing the game were a lot of fun. Most of the coding, which I obviously outsourced to Codex, went pretty smoothly. Pain points were all the 3D models I had to make/import, because Babylon.js really only liked the .glb file format. I ended up implementing features that weren't even planned, but I had so much fun that I couldn’t even be bothered. Here is a quick summary of the core gameplay features: voice-controlled real-time spell-based combat in a 1v1, 2v2, or 3v3 setting with proximity chat equip your own loadout of 10 spells that you find to be best suited for your strategy random drops of unidentified spell scrolls to unlock new spells gain or lose ELO for playing ranked matches against other players and climb the leaderboard I tried my best to find bugs and balance the game.

Disclaimer: Written by me from my own experience, AI used for light editing only I'm working on a systems-heavy Unity game, that has grown to about ~70k LOC. (Claude estimates it's about 600-650k tokens). Like most vibe coders probably, I run my own custom version of an \"audit the codebase\" prompt every once in a while. The problem was that as the codebase and complexity grew, it became more difficult to get quality audit output with a single agent combing through the entire codebase. With the recent release of the Agent Teams feature in Claude Code ( https://code.claude.com/docs/en/agent-teams ), I looked into experimenting and parallelizing this heavy audit workload with proper guardrails to delegate clearly defined ownership for each agent. Layer 1: The Ownership Manifest The first thing I built was a deterministic ownership manifest that routes every file to exactly one \"slice.\" This provides clear guardrails for agent \"ownership\" over certain slices of the codebase, preventing agents from stepping on each other's work and creating messy edits/merge conflicts. This was the literal prompt I used on a whim, feel free to sharpen and polish yourself for your own project: \"Explore the codebase and GDD. Your goal is not to write or make any changes, but to scope out clear slices of the codebase into sizable game systems that a single agent can own comfortably. One example is the NPC Dialogue system. The goal is to scope out systems that a single agent can handle on their own for future tasks without blowing up their context, since this project is getting quite large. Come back with your scoping report. Use parallel agents for your task\". Then I asked Claude to write their output to a new AI Readable markdown file named SCOPE.md. The SCOPE.md defines slices (things like \"NPC Behavior,\" \"Relationship Tracking\") and maps files to them using ordered glob patterns where first match wins: Tutorial and Onboarding - Systems/Tutorial/** - UI/Tutorial/** Economy and Progression - Systems/Economy/** etc. Layer 2: The Router Skill The manifest solved ownership for hundreds of existing files. But I realized the manifest would drift as new files were added, so I simply asked Claude to build a routing skill, to automatically update the routing table in SCOPE.md for new files, and to ask me clarifying questions if it wasn't sure where a file belonged, or if a new slice needed to be created. The routing skill and the manifest reinforce each other. The manifest defines truth, and the skill keeps truth current. Layer 3: The Audit Swarm With ownership defined and routing automated, I could build the thing I actually wanted: a parallel audit system that deeply reviews the entire codebase. The swarm skill orchestrates N AI agents (scaled to your project size), each auditing a partition of the codebase derived from the manifest's slices: The protocol Phase 0 — Preflight. Before spawning agents, the lead validates the partition by globbing every file and checking for overlaps and gaps. If a file appears in two groups or is unaccounted for, the swarm stops. This catches manifest drift before it wastes N agents' time. Phase 1 — Setup. The lead spawns N agents in parallel, assigning each its file list plus shared context (project docs, manifest, design doc). Each agent gets explicit instructions: read every file, apply a standardized checklist covering architecture, lifecycle safety, performance, logic correctness, and code hygiene, then write findings to a specific output path. Mark unknowns as UNKNOWN rather than guessing. Phase 2 — Parallel Audit. All N agents work simultaneously. Each one reads its ~30–44 files deeply, not skimming, because it only has to hold one partition in context. Phase 3 — Merge and Cross-Slice Review. The lead reads all N fi…", "top_comments": [ { "score": 2, "author": "akolomf", "date": "Feb 08 '26", "text": "Very interesting.

I started with Deepseek-Coder and was just using Newelle AI assistant on my Linux(CachyOS) PC. I made a fairly decent game but it was not a great process. I was sending over all of my code, not really knowing there were better options. I switched to VS CODE and connected it to Claude Code. Now I'm using Claude Code and really really enjoying the results. I have a lot of experience coding in Python and Javascript but just for making text based (MUD) RPG servers/clients and such. I'm admittedly not amazing at geometric formulas . But I know how to describe it. And I'm pretty good at writing detailed pseudo code as It's usually part of my planning process. I realized that vibe coding was mostly \"writing pseudocode\"... Why wasn't i doing this months ago? Claude limits are kind of rough though, but I can see why they do it. I feel like I'm talking to Jarvis. Here is an example of one of my recent prompts to adjust some balance issues: \"add 3 more Meta Upgrades with 5 ranks each. 'Damage' 10% each rank, 'Crit Chance' 5% each rank, 'Crit Damage' 20% each rank. Adjust the label for the healing so it reflects HP per 5 sec, make sure the area Meta upgrade does the same thing additive. Make sure Crit chance, Damage and Crit Damage meta upgrades are combined with the in game passive skills and not multiplied with them. Fix the Inc. Area Passive(and Inc. Area Meta Passive) as it says 50% each rank and doesn't seem to work at all, make it 20% each rank for a total of 100% increase. it should affect all weapons in some way. Mostly increasing Beam width for laser, tether range and tether thickness for Wraith, Projectile Size, Force Field Radius, Homing Missile projectile size and the detonation size, It should also increase the size of the shrapnel cannon's initial projectile and slightly affect the radius that the shrapnel spreads, it should increase funky bomb placement range and the funky bomb explosion size, Inc. area should affect everything slightly, (Excluding Peach missile) I have a link to a video of my latest build. I plan on releasing a shareware version as a demo and potentially a full version for 5 dollars or so on Steam when it's done. I just want to recoup a little of the money I'm spending on Claude if possible. I'm just a nerdy old veteran and honestly it feels nice to actually be able to make something fun and hopefully very replayable. These are very early stages. I plan on going WAY further with this game, scripted boss battles that react to players attacks, full achievements system and one thing that most games in this genre don't have. PVE VS mode. Eventually I want to have a VS mode where one player fights on a split screen sending over the enemies they kill to the other screen. (Like classic tetris 2 player mode), but with roguelike upgrades and trippy geometric graphics. It's kind of all of my favorite types of retro games mixed. I just want to know if anyone thinks this is something I should keep working on. I've written hundreds of thousands of lines of QuickBasic4.5 code for DOS trying to make games back in the 90s and I made some cool text games and some nice fractal generators, but never something like I can do now with AI. I just don't know if it looks like crap to everyone else lol. If's its cool enough that I should try to sell it on steam for cheap eventually, I'd really like to. It's still quite unfinished.

I tried several approaches: Task queues - Still required me to be at the computer Claude Code web version - This was frustrating. It gives results somewhere between Claude.ai chat and actual Claude Code CLI, often deletes my tests, and doesn't understand proper implementation patterns So I built Lazy Bird - a progressive automation system that lets Claude Code CLI work autonomously on development tasks while I'm at work. How it works: I create GitHub issues in the morning with detailed steps, the system picks them up, runs Claude Code in isolated git worktrees, executes tests, and creates PRs if everything passes. I review PRs during lunch on my phone, merge in the evening. Technical challenges solved: Claude Code CLI's undocumented flags (turns out --auto-commit doesn't exist, had to use -p flag properly) Test coordination when multiple agents run simultaneously Automatic retry logic when tests fail (Claude fixes its own mistakes) Git isolation to prevent conflicts Started with Godot specifically but expanded to support 15+ frameworks (Python, Rust, React, Django, etc.). You just choose your framework during setup and it configures the right test commands. Just released v1.0 - Phase 1 (single agent) is working.

All time is spent on improving the prompt output and refining UX. Of course we have made some games but we need reoccurring weekly cadence. The platform creates HTML5 games in both 2D and 3D. I have tried to post in game development related subreddits to find someone but I just get hate there for it being AI and small projects.

Of course you get the keep the game and rights to it, export it, use it however you like. We will use it to promote the platform and showcase what the platform is capable of. We are bootstrapped meaning everything we pay is money that is hard earn by ourselves (In my case I worked at a bank as a product owner).

Follow if you want that drop. TL;DR Chill incremental idle/clicker about pushing “cores” into instability until they breach All assets are generated by the game code at runtime (graphics, sounds, fonts) AI was used for coding help only, no generative AI assets/content Built in about 1.5 weeks Tools: Gemini 3.1/3 Pro for coding, ChatGPT 5.2 Thinking for strategy/prompting What the game is It’s an incremental idle/clicker with a “breach the core” goal. You build output, manage instability, and trigger breaches across different cores. The design goal is simple: everything should look and sound attractive even when you’re doing basic incremental actions. AI usage (coding only) I used Gemini for implementation bursts and ChatGPT for architecture/strategy/prompt engineering. The value for an experienced Python dev was faster iteration and less glue-code fatigue, so more time went to feel, tuning, and structure. No gen-AI art/audio/text is shipped; visuals/audio/fonts come from code. Engine architecture (how it’s put together) Loop + threading The game runs on a dedicated thread that owns the GL context and the main loop. This keeps things responsive around OS/window behavior. Window + input GLFW window wrapper plus framebuffer-aware mouse coordinates for high-DPI. Input tracks press/release, deltas, and drag threshold so UI/world interactions stay consistent. Global Timer targets FPS (or uncapped) and smoothed the dt for the updates. State-driven design A single GameState holds the economy, upgrades, run data, settings, and the parameters that drive reactive visuals. The simulation updates the state; rendering reads it. Simulation updates by Numba-accelerated functions for performance. UI is laid out in a 1920x1080 base resolution and scaled to the window allowing for custom resolutions and aspect-ratios. Renderer + post Batch 2D renderer with a numpy vertex buffer and a Numba JIT quad-writer for throughput. There’s an HDR-ish buffer + bloom-style post chain and gameplay-reactive parameters. Shaders Shader-side draw types handle shapes/text/particle rendering, clipping, and the “core” look. A lot of the “polish” is in that pipeline. Fonts/audio are code-generated Fonts are generated into an atlas at runtime, and audio is generated by code too. No external asset files for those. If you want to see specific subsystems (save format, UI routing, etc.), tell me what to focus on and I’ll post a short follow-up with screenshots/gifs.

I had a blog in the early half of this decade, hackerstreak.com which was created using WYSIWYG tools which was way too basic even for that time when no on was using AI for web development. The goal was to move away from static \"text blog posts\" and create something interactive and 3D too. So, I decided to try use Copilot to help redesign the blog and host it somewhere. I am not a web developer and I only know some web dev terminologies (SSL, static site, etc: to show how much of a noob I am) to begin with. So, I used Copilot to develop the design for my static site that I had in my mind (too many design iterations to exhaust my LLM quota every day) and honestly, with some google searches required here and there, it was able to build.

And I have no idea if this is even the right way to do it if the users view from their mobile phones.

You could also edit the games using prompts or just open up the code editor, make changes and then recompile the game. Right now, this experience is closer to lovable.dev than what we actually intended, which is Cursor for Game Dev (integrating the AI in the IDE or smth similar). We chose Godot because it's open source, free and looks like it's on a growing trajectory in terms of adoption, support and general coolness. Now, chat, am I crazy? We need your help for a bit. My target audience is young game devs, just getting into the industry, looking to learn and build their first games with this. Later on, we want to turn it into a tool that significantly accelerates game dev so instead of spending 5 years on a single game, you get it done in a couple of months. We can offer a couple of you access to what I did so far (I'm poor and don't have a lot of antrophic credits) and I'd love to hear your feedback. Is this something you'd be interested to try? What are some concerns you might have? How would you go about it? Looking forward to your (really brutally honest) feedback. ❤️ lots of love **UPDATE**: Hey all!

The wild part? I designed everything in Figma and coded it almost entirely with Cursor + AI — probably 99% of the code came from prompting, debugging, and tweaking with AI help. The game is a football trivia game in the form of \"Who wants to be millionaire\", and I figured with literally billions of football fans out there, getting some players would be doable... but the reality post-launch has been rough. I’m struggling to get traction or even consistent installs. No marketing budget, just vibes, determination, and a dream of hitting that first wave of players. If anyone has tips on organic growth, ASO, subreddits or Discords worth sharing in, or just wants to try the game and roast it (or enjoy it lol), I’d love feedback. This is my first game and I’m proud of how far I came with basically no traditional coding background. Here’s a quick summary: Made in Flutter Designed in Figma Coded with Cursor I contacted publishers/investors but none of them replied except one rejection I just got lately. I tried posting in fb football groups ( most admins wouldn't accept) neither here in reddit. I even made some TikTok gameplay video nothing literally worked and i'm getting kinda desperate seeing that my game is dying before it even started. If anyone is interested in seeing pictures/gameplay check my portfolio. And this is the link to the game in play store : Android I guess I underestimated how hard the launch phase would be.

I wanted to share Xeno Defense Protocol, a top-down tower defense shooter I've been working on. It's built with React, TypeScript, and the native HTML5 Canvas API.

IDE/Environment: Antigravity and Augment Code. Augment is great for context awareness across the codebase. Models: I switch between Opus 4.5 and Gemini 3 Pro. I use them differently depending on if I need complex logic solving or creative generation. Assets: Nano Banana for generating reference visuals and textures. Game Stack: React, Vite, Supabase. My Workflow 1. Reference Generation I start by generating a visual reference in Nano Banana so I have a clear target. For example, for a \"Molten Warlord Railgun,\" I generate the image first to see the colors and effects. 2. Redesign Prompting Once I have the reference, I prompt the AI to implement it. My prompts are usually specific about the goal. * Example Prompt: \"Perform a complete redesign of the Railgun weapon. I need a detailed look at a high level corresponding to AAA quality. Here is how the weapon should look: [Image].\" 3. Iteration The first result is rarely perfect. I spend time going back and forth, tweaking particle effects, animations, and colors until it matches the reference. The Reality of \"Vibe Coding\" I found that my time is split roughly 50/50: * 50% is the creative work: Generating assets, promoting features, and redesigning visuals. * 50% is pure testing and optimization.

That said, the screenshot above is a game I built entirely with AI tools, and I genuinely used everything on this list to do it. Here's the stack that actually works. Makko.ai (especially for animation) This is where I spend most of my time professionally, and the animation toolset is what I keep coming back to. Getting characters to move well is usually one of the hardest parts of game dev, and Makko handles it in a way that feels almost unfair. You generate, preview, and iterate on animations without rigging anything manually or touching keyframe timing. For anyone building 2D or stylized games, this alone is worth checking out. It's also how the character movement in the screenshot above was made. PixelLab If your game has any kind of pixel art aesthetic, PixelLab is essential. AI-powered sprite, tileset, and character generation that actually looks consistent and polished. The workflow is fast: describe what you want, tweak, export. It pairs really well with Makko if you want a full asset-to-animation pipeline without leaving your desk. Claude for game logic When it comes to using LLMs for actual game code, Claude is the one I keep coming back to. It holds context well across long sessions, rarely hallucinates syntax, and is genuinely good at reasoning through game logic like state machines, collision systems, and procedural generation. What makes it stand out is that it explains why the code works rather than just dumping a block at you, which makes iteration way faster. Anthropic has clearly put real thought into making it useful for developers specifically. ChatGPT Still a solid go-to. Great for quick boilerplate and most people are already comfortable prompting it. I use it more for speed than depth, but it gets the job done. GLM-4 This one doesn't get talked about enough in Western communities. GLM-4 is genuinely competitive for structured logic problems, which maps really well to game development. If you're building something with complex systems or physics, it's worth throwing your problem at it and seeing what comes back. The way I think about it now is that the bottleneck is no longer whether I can code something, it's whether I have a good enough idea. Which honestly is a much better problem to have.

A few months ago I started trying to write an interactive fiction novel. As the story grew, it quickly became difficult to manage the structure: branches, conditions, narrative state… everything started getting messy. At some point I opened Visual Studio to try to solve the problem for myself. My idea was simple: I wanted a way to separate the prose from the logic that drives the story. That's when the real experiment started. Since frontend isn't really my main area, instead of trying to brute-force everything myself I decided to try something different: building the project with AI agents (Codex) as development partners. What started as a small experiment slowly turned into a full rabbit hole. Working with Codex, and the workflow I used was surprisingly effective. Instead of just asking for snippets, I started treating the AI more like a small dev team: iterating on architecture, building components, debugging problems together, and refining ideas step by step. Using the AI-assisted workflow made it possible to move surprisingly fast across coding, UI design and architecture decisions. It also became a great learning experience about how to work with AI agents — improving context management, performance and behavior. The result of that process is a small ecosystem called iepub: • a structured format for interactive books • a reader runtime that interprets the format • and a visual editor designed for writing interactive fiction The editor tries to feel like a normal writing tool — something closer to Google Docs — but designed for interactive storytelling. It allows things like: defining narrative conditions attaching variables to sections of the story configuring dice rolls or probabilistic events creating narrative variants visualizing the structure of the story as a graph If anyone is curious about the experiment (both the project and the AI-assisted development workflow), you can take a look to the article I posted at medium. https://medium.com/@santi.santamaria.medel/interactive-fiction-platform-codex-ai-093358665827 Would love to hear how other people here are using AI in their dev workflows.", "top_comments": [ { "score": 5, "author": "AuthorialWork", "date": "Mar 05 '26", "text": "I love seeing people run into this from different directions.

Here's the reality: if you treat an LLM like a coder, you get slop. If you treat it like an intern with an infinite memory and a caffeine addiction, you get a superpower. I'm not exaggerating when I say that as a 20-year dev manager (planning databases, UI/UX, and entire systems), I put \"vibe coding\" to the ultimate stress test. I built a web app in one month—back before Cursor was even this good—that is now conservatively valued at $225,000 in dev costs alone (and I'm looking to exit for ~$250K to 500K soon). Total cost? Roughly $2,000 in API credits and my time. RIDICULOUS. Since then, this workflow has allowed me to: Recode a Unity Game: 1 day vs. a 6-month manual estimate. Ship Shopify Extensions: 2 days vs. 1.5 months of a dev team struggling. Scale a Platform: Managing 100k+ files for 225k customers. Automate Internal Tools: Saving our team 10,000 man-hours per year via automation. Cross-Platform Mastery: Blender add-ons, Adobe plugins, Mac/Windows/iOS apps, and Three.js animation engines. I didn't know ANY of the languages for ANY of those projects before VIBE CODING THEM ^^^. This isn't a flex; it's an invitation to see the \"Architect Workflow\" that works every single time. THE STACK Cursor IDE (only on a MAC, not windows unless you know what you are doing): If you aren't using Cursor, you aren't vibe coding; you're just chatting. Claude Opus 4.6: (Or whatever the current SOTA is—it's the brain that matters). GitHub + Netlify: If you don't know how, ask the AI to set it up for you. THE SECRET SAUCE (WHY I REPEAT MYSELF) 4–7. PLAN MODE (x4) In Cursor, Plan Mode is the difference between a house and a pile of bricks. What it is: Instead of saying \"write this code,\" you say \"think through the architecture.\" The Rule: You MUST make the AI outline the logic, the file structure, and the potential breaking points before it writes a single line. If you skip this, you get slop. Plan, refine, plan again, and only then hit \"BUILD.\" It is the best teacher/tutor/class you cannot buy with money. .cursor/rules (literally type .cursor/rules in the chat with agent) Create this for every project. It's your \"Code of Conduct.\" Ask the AI to have it define your tech stack, naming conventions, and your \"never do this\" list. If you have no idea, just ask Opus: \"What .cursor/rules should we set up for this project?\" Learn the why, and it will make you a better navigator. 9–10. MCP SERVERS (x2) This is the future. Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers are the \"limbs\" of the AI. What it is: It allows Cursor to actually see and interact with your local environment, your databases, and external APIs directly. Why it's repeated: MCP servers bridge the gap between \"text in a box\" and \"an engineer that can actually look at your Railway logs or Stripe dashboard.\" It gives the AI the context it needs to stop hallucinating. GitHub (Add/Commit/Push): Every time you hit a milestone, save your progress. Deployment: Netlify for the front, Stripe for the money, Railway/Supabase for the guts. THE CURRENT TEST EXAMPLE I'm currently building an ANIMATION STORYTELLER APP for artists (to help them fight AI slop in the art world) in Unity with Rive animations. I'm using Rive MCP, Unity MCP, STRIPE MCP, RAILWAY MCP (if needed) and Supabase MCP. I spent 4 hours in PLAN MODE before a single line of code was written. Ai helped me produced 50 professionally structured documents for the AI to build the entire thing, phase-by-phase. This is extreme, but it's how you build a dream you've had for a decade.

Every app I found was either buried in forced ads, locked behind paywalls, or just straight-up ugly. So, instead of complaining about it, I decided to just vibe code my own solution. Over the last few weeks, I used AI to help me spin up an entire Flutter application from scratch. It was incredibly fun literally just prompting the UI I wanted and watching the AI stitch together complex interactive canvas elements and state management. What we built together: Interactive Word Builder: Vibe coded a dynamic puzzle UI where 2, 3, or 4 individual letters visually morph to connect together into a real word. Calligraphy & Tracing: Prompted a custom drawing canvas with animated ghost-lines so users can trace and learn the stroke order of Nastaliq calligraphy. Native Audio: Hooked up flutter_tts so every letter speaks its native pronunciation. Fully Offline: Got the AI to help me bundle all assets and fonts locally so it requires zero internet connection. Since my primary goal was just to solve a problem for my kid (and anyone else wanting to learn), I made it 100% Free and completely Ad-Free. It was amazing to see an idea go from a pure 'vibe' to a polished, deployed app in the Play Store so quickly. You can check out the finished app here: Learn Urdu App on Google Play If anyone is trying to build Flutter apps with AI, especially dealing with Right-to-Left (RTL) text or Interactive Canvases, let me know!

Zero lines written by me, ~48 hours of back-and-forth with Claude Code (Opus 4.7). I directed the design, playtested, pushed back on the stuff that felt off. Claude wrote every line of code. **The idea:** Balatro's scoring system bolted onto a real dartboard. Points × Rally = Score. Clear 8 tournaments of 3 tiers each. Build a deck of Special Darts, Form Cards (one-off board tricks), and Mastery Cards (permanent hit-type drills). Each final tier has a \"House Rule\" that punishes a different playstyle. I'm specifically asking for feedback on the **idea**, not the polish. I know the card art is procedural, audio is synth, and balance past Tournament 3 is untested. The thing I want to know is whether the darts framing actually makes the Balatro loop feel like a different game, or whether it's just a find-and-replace job. **Try it (HTML5, mobile-friendly):** https://wadey500.itch.io/dartlatro **What went well with Claude:** - Procedural art / icons / audio — Claude drew everything on canvas, no asset files. Not pretty, but zero sprite sheet work. - ~2500-line single HTML file. One import, no build step, runs offline. - Every gameplay system (22 Specials, 9 Forms, 5 Masteries, 8 House Rules, 8 decks, 8 unlockable skins) took ~10-30 minutes of prompting each. Fastest content prototyping I've ever done. **What I had to push on:** - Claude's default aesthetic is \"every feature gets a badge.\" First drafts had 6 overlapping UI indicators on every card. - Audio started as generic beeps; had to explicitly ask for brown-noise + pitch-drop + tip-tick to get the dart-thunk right. - Balance is the hard part to hand off — I can describe \"this should feel like Balatro's Ante 3\" but Claude can't playtest it. **Honest disclosure:** I own the Balatro inspiration openly in the itch description. Not trying to hide it. Would love to hear: (a) how the darts fusion reads to you, (b) whether pull-back-to-throw feels like throwing a dart on your device, (c) any obvious missing archetype from the 22 Special Darts.

Each addition is a new seed, and the game slowly grows into something alive. If anyone's curious, I'd love to share more and get feedback on my mobile game as it grows.

ChatGPT does planning, cursor does building (never mix them) this workflow is money. ivan uses chatgpt as the \"brain\" to plan everything: describes the feature he wants makes chatgpt refine it until it's 95% confident has it break into phases gets it to write detailed MD specs then copies those specs directly into cursor to execute the separation works because chatgpt can see the full context and plan strategically. cursor just executes the tactical work. 3. pit AI against AI (catch 60% of bugs before you see them) here's ivan's QA process that most people skip: after cursor executes a phase, he gets everything cursor did - all the file changes, summaries, everything. pastes those back into chatgpt and asks: \"examine this closely and see if there's anything that we need to improve or change or if cursor did any mistake.\" chatgpt reviews cursor's work and catches issues before they compound is it tedious? yes. does it work? also yes. the whole thing works because he's building a system where AI tools check each other's work. --- Ivan started with literally zero technical background in april, now shipping a multiplayer app with social features. what's your workflow look like, especially to release a production grade app? curious if others have found similar patterns or completely different approaches that work.", "top_comments": [ { "score": 3, "author": "Harvard_Med_USMLE267", "date": "Oct 23 '25", "text": "Meh post.

Learned more about database design on this project than any tutorial taught me. RLS policies everywhere. AI-driven combat system - Edge function that generates dynamic battle narration using GPT-4/Claude. Each fight feels unique and cinematic. Real-time everything - Chat, leaderboards, activity feeds all using Supabase subscriptions. The multiplayer aspect came alive when I nailed the realtime architecture. Comprehensive admin panel - 22 separate admin pages to manage every aspect of the game. This was NOT planned at the start but became essential. Turn-based tactical combat with heat management, combos, status effects, and program cooldowns. Way deeper than I originally scoped. 📊 Current stats: 5 character classes (Ghost, Hammer, Spider, Cryptomancer, Corpo Infiltrator) 60+ achievements across 6 categories 30-day daily reward cycle with milestones 100 levels of progression Full skill tree system with multiple scaling types PvP battles with credit wagering (Not yet developed) Cyberdeck module system 🎓 What I learned: How to use AI models efficiently, Used Cursor, Windsurf, Roo Code, Open router with diff MCPs 😅 The mistakes: Didn't start with proper database functions - rewrote a ton of edge function logic into stored procedures Over-engineered the combat system twice before finding the right balance Built 3 different UI designs before settling on the current one Underestimated how complex a \"simple\" achievement system could get 🤔 Current challenges: Balancing game mechanics is HARD. I'm a developer, not a game designer AI costs can add up quickly if you're not careful with token usage Real-time subscriptions need careful cleanup or you get memory leaks Making the game feel rewarding without being grindy Screenshots: Game UI Full Admin Would love to hear from anyone building games with web tech or working with Supabase at scale.

While that might be an exageration having tried to take a few Python courses online here or there, I know very little about coding and don't have the time to commit to learning different languages as I work 9-5. That has changed thanks to Claude. For the past several years, my friends and our wives have been doing our own Formula 1 Fantasy league, as the official application is okay but lacks accessibility to more casual viewers. Our league only requires you to do one thing: pick correctly every week. Unlike the official platform, you pick the order of the top 10 finishers for each race, along with who you think will be pole, first out (first DNF), and fastest lap; you just need to put them in before qualifying. This led us to run our own league via a Google form and sheet that was shared with the group weekly to capture our picks, which, as you can imagine, worked but was janky. As none of us in the group knew how to code, I had the idea to leverage AI after listening to an NPR podcast on the topic, and after a quick Reddit search, I settled on Claude AI. Within the first week, I had my MVP for the site, and within the first month, I was up and running, all thanks to Claude. The best part is I didn't need to learn to code to make my idea come to life, I only needed to be its project manager and debugger; all things I do currently IRL. Below is a list of things I had Claude do that made this project unique and fun. The web app's colors are dynamic to the team you select as your favorite. The driver, team, race venue, and start times are all driven off an API to allow for real-time changes to lineups. The date and time are dynamic to the timezone you select on your profile. API drives real-time race results. Firebase is the backend for keeping user information, picks, announcements, feedback, and leagues safe and secure. (Claude picked this; I had no idea this existed.)

For large unity projects there are lots of work arounds when using common CI/CD like Gitlab pipelines or Github actions. Also using cloud runners to compile makes compiles take hours and you run into licensing issues with Unity. That is why I created AutomaticUnityBuilds.com which packages my CI/CD workflows I use in a easy to understand UI built for game developers. Compiles happen on self owned computers and are managed from the web. Works great to monitor the state of a project from mobile. Since the compiles happen on hardware you own you can use the Unity free license no problem which is not the case with solutions like GameCI. Also the game never ends up in a cloud container which means there are no bandwidth costs and you are not limited by how many compiles you can make in a day. My workflow involves installing the runner application on some old laptops I have laying around. One mac and one windows machine gives you the ability to target any platform that Unity supports. Even Xbox, Switch, and PlayStation are supported. I even have deployment to itch.io working. This is a great solution for Game Jams as you can just set it up to push new versions of the game on every commit and once set up you never have to worry about missing a game jam deadline. Don't wait until the end of the jam to figure out that the game does not compile for WebGL or Mac because of some strange plugin. Have people test the game in real time as you work on it. Friends can see the progress during the game jam from 1 hour to the next. Cool things my solution does: You bring your own runners so you don't have to pay for cloud compute Build artifacts stay on the runners and are transferred via WebRTC p2p to avoid cloud storage costs WebGL builds are able to be tested using WebRTC p2p with the click of one button Analyze build stats over time and graph results to see what commit caused builds to change Parse unity project for common issues and recommend improvements. There is a system for analyzing build logs and recommending solutions. Auto deployment to itch.io How I built it: I started by having claude code analyze my current CI/CD setup I use for all of my games. I have implemented tons of work arounds to get things working the way I want. I gave it access to my digital ocean account and bought a domain. I had Claude help me with the SSL certificate and getting my gitlap CI/CD setup to autodeploy changes as I commit. My repo is setup as a mono repo with my native runner also in the repo. I had it built the runner in rust and try to reuse the UI from the site built in react. Then I worked through setting up automatic updates for my runner software and setup code signing on windows and mac. Once I had all of this setup I was at a point where making commits to my repo would auto deploy the website and even update all the native runners. My website even tells the runners a new update is available so I could test in production fast. I then setup a simple wiggums loop in this fashion: Read your brain and pick a feature to work on deploy and monitor pipelines Delete feature from brain Add any hurtles or anything that should be known to brain Brainstorm new features that would improve the application and are useful for indie devs and add them to the brain Repeat I ran this as a shell script in a service on a dedicated ubuntu server. I then use a second claude code instance to monitor \"what is ralph currently doing?\". I check in every hour to see what it is up to. If I come up with a new feature I have Claude Code add it to the current brain. I did this for about 3 days and ran it all night long until I had run through my weekly quota of Claude Code max.

The biggest challenge with long audio transcription (beyond the 25MB Groq API limit) was preserving context at the split points. Traditional sequential chunking sometimes cut off mid-jargon, leading to weird transcription errors. What's New in v0.0.17: Overlapping Chunking: The engine now overlaps segments by a few seconds. This preserves local context, which is then reconciled during the merge phase for much higher accuracy. Local-First History: I added a history panel to the web UI. It uses localStorage for zero-setup persistence—your history stays on your machine, no database required. Pipeline Resiliency: Added automatic retries for the transcription pipeline. If an API call fails mid-way through an hour-long file, it now gracefully recovers. Open Source Growth: Officially moved to GNU GPL v3 and added a CONTRIBUTING.md to help others get involved. Key Tech Updates: - Core: Improved ChunkPlanner with context-overlap logic. - UI: Enhanced glassmorphism sidebar for history management. - Legal: GPL v3 license integrated.

My strategy for right now is building up email lists/downloads for ASO. I haven’t been able to fully get a bunch of conversions/MRR yet but I’d still like to share my strategy and what’s *kindve* working. My current plan is this. Launch apps -> Get feedback from free/beta users —> grow a list of people who will try all of my apps -> once everything is bug free then start real marketing. Personally I would feel wrong if I started getting a bunch of paying customers if the apps don’t work 100% correctly on every device. Before people call my apps “AI slop” I take a lot of time improving UI/Backend stuff so that everything looks better than a 1 prompt “make me a app and backend” that people brag about. What’s working now is after I launch an app, I give away free lifetime/1 year passes to my apps in different subreddits and discords. So that people with different devices can test and tell me what’s wrong/improvements. This strategy helps me get 10-15k downloads on all my apps. Of course if your app uses AI/API costs I would limit it but it definitely helps. So what I did is create my own site/app called https://GetFree.app so that I can capture emails and send push notifications out. It’s free if you want to post your app and get some free downloads/testers. Hopefully in the next 3-6 months I can come back saying “this is how I make 50k MRR” If anybody has questions or want to turn this thread into what works for you/doesn’t work lets discuss.

But of course, I wouldn't want to copy and paste tinder or other dating apps. I felt like what I needed, what most of people like me do, is something else. I am by no means a developer, I have some knowledge in LUA, I can write decent C#, obviously html/js/tailwind blah blah, nothing wow or fancy, nothing \"job worthy\", or \"LinkedIn glamorous post\". My entire experience comes from building FiveM servers and scripts and making small projects in Unity. I've also built my fair share of websites for 300/400 euros a pop back in the \"golden age\" when everybody was doing SMMA. My friends were by no means interested in anything that had to do with coding, or building projects and trying to monetise them. I wanted to meet people who were at the same stage as me, and wanted to create something worth monetising. So I started taking this AI craze seriously, and stumbled upon Lovable. I thought it was the best in the game (had no idea about Claude Code/Codex, so excuse me for saying that.) I started with a webivew based app, but trying to convert it into a native build was a nightmare. I have no idea about how to write Swift, and quite frankly never will, because I do not care. Needless to say, 5 months later, the \"app\" was in a disgusting state, and I didn't have enough time to focus on improving it since I was working a job. My workflow was this : ChatGPT - Lovable - ChatGPT - Lovable -ChatGPT, so not very efficient, I know. But then I decided, I will rebuild this in react native, I know JS so I'm half way there, right ? .. right ? RIGHT ? So I started using Claude Code to leverage some of that AI raw horsepower everybody has been going crazy about, and boy were they right.. In about a month I was able to knock it off. I started to submit it on the App Store. I got rejected 6 times. 6 !, yet still, I changed what was needed every time, and on one beautiful morning, about 9 days later after my first submission, I got the App Store Connect notification on my phone : \"The status of version 1.0 has changed to Pending Developer release.\" Followed by a second one : \"Version 1.0 has been approved\" . That same morning I released it. But of course, It was my first time, so like someone who just popped their cherry, I decided to go on the App Store and try downloading it for myself. Surprise (or not) it was not on there. How come, you may ask, since I just said it got accepted.. Well, turns out there is a thing called *Agreements* and I hadn't signed one that allowed me to publish onto the EU market. So I waited, for about 5 days my app was live, and I couldn't even download it myself. And yet here we are today, FoundrSwipe (once again, very original) is live on the App Store If you are curious about it, download it, and be brutally honest. Is this something you would use ? It technically works, although I'm sure I forgot a lot of things, but like I said, this is my first time taking on a project of such size. At the end of the day, if you create an account, and you can meet somebody that has the skills you need in your projects, who you wouldn't have met otherwise, because of geographical reasons, age gap, or other reasons, it does it's job. It's good enough. I am a little skeptical about posting this, since it means I'm opening up to people's opinions, something that I don't usually care about, but in this context, it matters. If you decide to give it a go, all I ask from you is patience. I am working a 10 hours a night, 5 days a week job and doing this on the side, since It doesn't make money. So I'll try my best to fix what you find broken in a fairly timely manner. All of this to say that if you've got an idea sitting in your notes app collecting dust, the gap between \"I can't build this\" and \"this is live\" has never been smaller than it is right now.

Once I set it up, I was amazed by how much faster it was than me and how often it got close to what I wanted.

Each design.md file contains specific instructions that your agents will use when building and UI. That's a game changer for devs and vibe coders. The problem: every time I start a project with Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex, the agent generates UI in its own random style. There's no clean way to tell it \"use my brand\" without screenshotting Figma and hoping the colors land. Brand fidelity falls off a cliff the moment an agent touches a button. designkit.sh is an open registry for DESIGN.md kits — Google Stitch's spec for declarative design systems. A DESIGN.md is YAML frontmatter (colors, typography, spacing, radii, atomic component styles) + prose. Agents can read it and theme generated UI to match. https://reddit.com/link/1stomyt/video/inyyweycxywg1/player Three things you can do today 1. Browse + apply — 60+ kits (Heritage, Bold Tech, Atelier, Claude, Airbnb, Apple…). Click one → it themes the entire site live. CSS variables, no rebuild. You can see exactly how a kit lands before you ship. https://designkit.sh/gallery is here for you to get inspired. You can apply any template to the whole site. 2. One-line install into any agent's project: # Bare brand name → resolves automatically (community catalog first, # falls back to official presets) npx designkit-cli add stripe npx designkit-cli add claude # Anthropic — parchment + Fraunces + terracotta npx designkit-cli add coinbase # Coinbase Blue + 56px pill CTAs npx designkit-cli add lamborghini # all-black + Neo-Grotesk + gold CTAs npx designkit-cli add supabase # near-black + emerald accent + Circular npx designkit-cli add notion # warm neutral minimalism + Notion Blue npx designkit-cli add vercel # Geist + shadow-as-border + multi-layer cards # Or explicit source prefix when you know what you want npx designkit-cli add dk/heritage # journalistic high-contrast + serif npx designkit-cli add dk/bold-tech # dark-mode dev tools / saturated purple npx designkit-cli add getdesign/figma # B&W chrome + variable sans + hero gradients # Any public GitHub repo with a DESIGN.md is installable too npx designkit-cli add owner/repo Drops DESIGN.md + SKILL.md (so the agent reads it as a skill) + tokens.css (so your stylesheets read the same source of truth) into ./design-kits// (or .claude/skills/ / .cursor/rules/ when those folders exist — the CLI auto-detects). Live preview before installing — every kit has a shareable ?kit= URL that themes the whole gallery instantly: https://designkit.sh/?kit=getdesign/stripe https://designkit.sh/?kit=getdesign/claude https://designkit.sh/?kit=dk/heritage 3. Generate a kit from a prompt — \"warm editorial magazine, oxblood accent, serif headlines\" → full DESIGN.md back → save private, publish public, install via the CLI under your username (@you/your-kit). There's also a /pages flow where you describe a landing page and the agent writes a self-contained HTML doc themed by your active kit. Download the HTML or publish it at /u//p/. A re-theme button swaps the kit's CSS vars instantly without re-prompting. How does the agent actually use it? Five integration paths, depending on the agent: a) SKILL.md — the magic for skill-aware agents (Claude Code, Cursor) designkit-cli add heritage drops a skill manifest at .claude/skills/design-kit-heritage/SKILL.md (or .cursor/rules/...mdc for Cursor). Frontmatter declares \"use whenever generating or editing UI in this project.\" Claude's skill_search autodiscovers it; next time you ask for a hero section, it pulls the skill into context and writes UI that uses your tokens. Zero manual context management. b) MCP server — for any MCP-speaking client Hosted MCP endpoint at designkit.sh/designkit/mcp/sse.

I've been a bit of a lurker on this sub for a while, My exact situation with coding is probably a little different to others here - clearly a lot of people are in much more advanced scenarios than me - so apologies, by my own admission - I'm something of a vibecoding 'noob.' If you'll permit me to give some context as to what I'm currently doing with gamedev and AI, it should make my situation clearer. I'm sure my current workflow will cause much laughter and facepalming, but I'm geniunely interested in your thoughts on how I should proceed. (apologies, this is going to take some exposition!) So, I'm very much a hobbyist game dev person. I picked up Gamemaker about 10 years ago as a curiousity. I'd not done any coding at all in over 2 decades (yes, I'm old!) - prior to this point my last coding was done in AMOS Pro on a Commodore Amiga in the early 90's! I was looking for a 2D environment (I'm making fairly retro games) with a beginner freindly language and fairly forgiving IDE, Gamemaker at the time ticked those boxes. I got the basics of the Gamemaker language (GML) down reasonably quick, but the more complex side of things were still very much a challenge. I did attempt to upgrade for a couple of years and did a course on Unity, but I really didn't feel comfortable with it, and especially C# didn't click with me. I always seem to graviate back to Gamemaker! I've started work on a fairly simple game several times in that time, a few times in GM and once in Unity - all previous attempts hit the buffers after around 6 months to a year. Usually through a combination of me struggling with the programming, project planning and real life throwing the odd curveball. But all those failures were me coding traditionally, i.e. learning how to code via tutorials, reading manuals, articles, etc. Very much the way we used to learn coding in the 'old world!' So, enter this new and interesting world of AI, and after ChatGPT and Google AI studio helped me in a very basic way to automate some spreadsheets and stuff, I began wondering if it could perhaps help with game dev. I'm aware AI integrations with 3rd party game engines are becoming more common, but alas, Gamemaker is lagging behind a bit in this regard. I couldn't find a proper solution, so I resolved work in Google AI Studio using GeminiPro 2.5 - with a very rudimentry approach. Literally I made a game design document and began prompting the AI one step at a time as I worked through it. Each session - I usually have planning discussion with it, then we agree on a small number of steps, then it gives me scripts or regions of scripts and I'm copying and pasting them into the right places. All the work is done right there in the browser chat. I guess it's kind of novice vibecoding at best! I'm effetviely using it as a live/online tutor, I guess. I know the IDE very well, I've a decent grasp on the language, and I am absolutely sanity checking everything it gives me to ensure I actually understand what it's doing, and I've learned so much. It can be incredibly tedious - but I can honestly say the results have been really positive (by my previous standards). I've made this same game so many times in the past, and while I've never finished it, I've had so much time to process in my mind how it should work, it's been really good. I believe I've achieved more in 3 months with this method than in any of my previous attempt. I'm actually in completely new territory. The game is coming together, I'm having fun actually playing what I've got so far, and a few people I've showed it to have been well impressed. This feels like the attempt that will work! But, my workflow and the size that the project has got to will, I fear, be about to cause me issues going forward. At the start of each new chat, I paste in my update to date handover document and a full text dump of the project. Gemini in AI Studio uses a token system.

Instead of rolling your eyes or joking about these \"vibe apps,\" there's actually a smart business opportunity here: offer support packages for these AI-driven products. Developers can step in to fix bugs, optimize code, and strengthen security. Founders get stable, reliable apps; devs get paid work and a front-row seat in the AI-product boom. Think of it as a win-win: Entrepreneurs and founders get guidance and bug fixes for their growing products. You, the dev, turn what could feel like a threat from AI apps into a profitable opportunity. Everyone benefits from better products and smoother user experiences. AI apps aren't going away - they're going to proliferate, with or without traditional devs. So why not get in early, offer real value, and collaborate with creators who have exciting ideas?

It wasn't bleeding edge and it will run on your ancient laptop. I wrote some core things that I had codex build off of.

What we actually did together: Recorded sound effects using my kid's voice Generated background music with Suno Designed block shapes and basic rules Analyzed the combo system and why it feels rewarding What surprised me most was the shift in perspective. My kid stopped seeing games as something you just play and started asking questions like: \"Why does this combo feel good?\" \"What if we change this rule?\" \"Is this too easy?\" Using AI helped a lot here — not as a \"give me the answer\" tool, but as something that lets ideas turn into prototypes very quickly. It felt less like teaching coding and more like learning how to think, test, and iterate together. The finished game is playable here if you're curious: https://blog.haus/joowons_blast One downside: since it's web-based, it lacks the polish and tactile feel of native iOS/Android games. Now I'm wondering whether it's worth rebuilding this as a native mobile app. Question for the community: If the goal is learning + creativity (not monetization), would you: Keep it web-based for speed and accessibility?

I'm building Fable Forge - which is essentially a library of human-designed RPG worlds backed by systems that use AI in a very intentional way. Not \"LLM does everything,\" but AI enhancing mechanics, memory, and world reactivity. Why this is relevant to vibe coding I come from a tech background, but I'm not a traditional full-stack engineer. I work with a contracting engineer for core stability, but most of what you see in the product today is vibe-coded by me. What I personally vibe-coded Using tools like Claude Code (absolute game-changer for me), I've built: All of the UI / UX design A lot of the gameplay systems design (rules, flows, progression logic - working behind the scenes even if not fully playable yet) Most of the world / narrative / universe design workflows Heavy iteration on site copy and player-facing language One of my favourite bits: the dynamic website hero that pulls random videos from a library - 100% vibe-coded by me I basically taught myself how to get the most out of these tools so I could turn my own creative instincts into real systems instead of just ideas. Where engineering steps in I don't pretend vibe coding replaces engineering. My contracting engineer mainly helped with: Choosing and setting up the core stack (Cloudflare, Hono, Clerk, etc.) Building the spine of the app and key components Providing oversight on critical parts so things don't collapse under real use I prototype aggressively, then vibe-code on top of that spine, with him helping harden what matters. It's been a really healthy balance: vibe-coded vision + real engineering discipline. Why I'm posting here I'm genuinely keen to connect with others who are: Vibe-coding serious projects (not just demos) Building web apps, platforms, or game systems Or RPG folks who are open to AI as a tool, not a shortcut I'd love: To hear about your challenges doing similar work To trade notes on what you trust AI with vs what you lock down And I'm happy to offer high-level QA / feedback for anyone building in this space too Longer term, the goal with Fable Forge is to give people a way to vibe-code playable experiences on top of real infrastructure - so creators don't have to reinvent mechanics, systems, and scaffolding every time they want to build something cool. Not here to shill - genuinely here to learn from other builders doing this in the wild. If you want to see the project context, it's here: https://fableforge.gg (It's in preview mode - not fully playable yet - but the systems and UX are real and actively being built.)

Then vibe coding arrived, GPT-Codex-5.3 and Codex app dropped at the perfect time, and I went all in with curiosity + AI tools. In 2–3 weeks (mostly after work), I built a cross-platform mobile game now in final polish. My ideas came alive through different AIs, each contributing its own strengths. I could focus on vision and direction while they worked together like a real game studio with multiple specialists, without me writing a single line of code. I planned the core gameplay loop (Inspired by Arc Raiders + Plants vs Zombies) and let Codex agents handle the heavy lifting. At first, it was just silly emoji assets moving around on the screen. Then, for visuals, I generated real assets with Gemini Nano Banana until the world started to feel alive. Each asset interaction was created with incredible consistency, preserving every detail across every frame. After that, I used Suno to create an original soundtrack and sound effects that matched each mood shift in the game. At some point, I realized I wanted to share it with friends and compete, so I started building a backend with a database and leaderboards. The game's concept: Scientists open portals to alien planets because Earth is out of energy due to extreme solar flares. They begin extracting alien energy crystals, but that triggers a war with the insect inhabitants. Each run is high risk, if you enter and fail to extract in time, you can lose your entire loadout. The core gameplay is deciding what gear to bring, how to stack and optimize your build, how long to stay, and when to extract. Your goal is to survive relentless insect waves, return with as many crystals as possible, and continuously upgrade your loadout for deeper, more rewarding runs.

The first prototype was basically vibed into existence in about two weeks. It felt unreal. Describe a feature, wait a bit, it's there. Fast feedback, constant progress, very addictive. But the biggest lesson wasn't about prompting. It was about documentation and architecture. If you don't constantly maintain a clear frontend and backend architecture doc, your AI has no stable model of your system. It will recreate types that already exist, slightly change contracts, introduce parallel logic, and scatter responsibilities across files. Everything compiles. Everything \"works\". Until the codebase grows. Then you ship, fix a bug, add a feature, and suddenly you're stacking mess on top of mess. That's where I hit the wall. The demo version worked, but structurally it wasn't scalable. State was scattered. Boundaries were blurry. Ownership unclear. I paused feature work and refactored almost everything. Defined clean contracts. Simplified project structure. Wrote living architecture docs the AI can constantly reference so it actually understands how things are supposed to connect. That refactor took about four months. The real takeaway: AI generates code insanely fast. It does not design your constraints for you. It will amplify whatever structure you give it, good or bad. If you define architecture first, vibe coding becomes a multiplier. If you don't, you're just accelerating entropy. Mendro itself is a structured thinking app. A private space to reduce mental noise, clarify decisions, and track patterns over time. Built for builders who overthink.

It's a free, open-source project (AGPL-3.0) hosted on GitHub. You can self-host it. I built it to solve a real problem my team had and wanted to share it with the community and get some feedback. Here's the problem: your team has 5 developers, each running their own Claude Code. Everyone's agents are coding against the same repo. Nobody knows what anyone else's agent is doing. Merge conflicts everywhere. Duplicated work. Pure chaos. So I built Chorus — an open-source platform that turns multi-person, multi-agent Claude Code into an actual coordinated team. How it works: Each developer connects their Claude Code to Chorus via MCP. The platform gives everyone a shared view: Shared Kanban board — all agents' task cards update in real time. You can see your teammate's agent just picked up the auth module while yours is working on the API layer. Task DAGs (dependency graphs) — tasks have explicit dependencies, so no agent starts work before its prerequisites are done. No more \"oh wait, I needed that API first.\" Pixel Workspace — every agent gets a pixel character avatar showing its real-time status, with live terminal output streaming alongside. Your whole team's AI workforce, visible on one screen. Full audit trail — who (human or agent) did what, when, and on which task. Essential when 10 agents are committing code simultaneously. The workflow is based on AI-DLC (AI-Driven Development Lifecycle), a methodology AWS published last year. AI proposes plans (PRDs, task breakdowns), humans review and approve. But the key shift Chorus makes is: this isn't a single-player experience. It's multiplayer. A PM agent drafts the proposal. The tech lead approves it. Multiple developers' Claude Code agents swarm the tasks in parallel — each aware of what others are working on. There's a Claude Code Plugin for zero-config setup — one command install, auto session management, heartbeats, the works. Built on MCP so it's not locked to Claude either.

First off, let me say that this is going to be a bit of a long post and may sound ranty. However, I am fed up with all the \"is vibecoding bad/good/pastasauce\" arguments. Let's start with a little background. I have a technical background. That doesn't mean that I am super technical but, enough to hold my own in conversations. I have multiple years of experience in game programming and system administration. However, I also have multiple years working as a product manager and a project manager. On a side note (which will be relevant later) I am no arist. Yes, I've worked as a 3D artist for a little bit and know how to use Blender and 3DS Max very well, but I just don't see myself as an artist or even good at it. That said, I've never ever considered myself a very technical person and I won't rate myself anything above mid-level game developer if a task requires programming. It is just not my thing. In fact, I've only took it up because in the games industry you can't just straight up be a producer or a game designer, you have to pass through either development or art. Unless of course you know someone, then it is a different story. Contrast this with a very close friend of mine. He is a programmer through and through. I'd be thinking something like \"I wish I had some way of clicking at a pixel on my screen and it copies the exact hexadecimal value of the color\" and he'd be like \"hold my [insert any drink here]\" and in a few minutes he coded a tool to do what I was talking about. He loves programming that I believe he thinks in programming, if that is a thing. As you can see we are two different people. So when vibe coding emerged, to me, it was a great tool. In fact, it simply meant that now, as a non-programmer and as a product manager for example, I can simply launch an AI prompt and tell it exactly what I want. \"I want a website that looks this way, that way, similar to this and that but change this or the other\". In minutes, I have a working prototype. I don't have to go to Figma and spend hours fighting layers, duplicating stuff, poking at this or the other trying to get the exact thing I want in my head to work and then spend a few more hours wiring stuff up so I can show someone how the UI should work or how it looks like. I also don't have to write 20 pages explaining how the heck a character should climb a wall in a game. I can have the AI generate something with tons of customization sliders and I get to what I want quickly. Then it is a matter of SHOWING the developer what needs to be done. Now a developer can see EXACTLY what I am referring to, instead of spending 20 minutes describing in text and drawing awful diagrams that half the time look like lewd alien pictures. I no longer have to sit next to the developer and keep saying stuff like \"oh, this should be 2 pixels higher\" or \"not that green, this green but notice that fade and that crisscross effect that I wrote about in 2 paragraphs in the documentation\". I can simply hand over the documentation + the \"demo\" I vibed and walk away to do something else. The developer doesn't have to huff and puff waiting for me to reply back because I am fighting with the audio guy on what does it mean to \"create a SFX that sounds like a sword strike but with a swoosh and at the same time a thud with a slight echo\" For people like me, it helps us do our jobs easily, communicate better and most of all, if I ever thought I wanted to work on a personal project, I didn't have to call a dev friend to \"please, oh, please ignore your wife and your kids, come work with me on this project, your family is irrelevant\". I can make something myself and maybe even see it through to the end. Yes, it won't be perfect, yes, it will be all a mess. But at least, I can then ask my dev friend to maybe sacrifice a day in the weekend to review it and give me pointers on how to fix it myself instead of you know, coaxing him into a divorce.

Gemini 3.1 pro and flash to create the code, codex to verify if everything is ok and what would it do to improve it. I was quite limited on time having a family and having a 9-5 but I love what I'm doing. The site is https://thecybergamingworld.com. I don't know much of coding even though I have the perception (You won't find public API keys here, nor security issues. This was built in a VPS and everything is stored safely inside my private github repo on secrets and env :P ). It helps I know a lot of things all around when making something. I have skills around UX/UI, marketing, ecommerce, business etc. Few things about me, I'm currently 35. My first game was jazz jackrabbit - or maybe septerra core?

In my daily life I work on a 9-5 corporal shitty business as a performance marketing expert. Here is a quick look at what my site currently offers and what I am building next! What I Currently Offer: Massive Game Deals: I’ve built a system that tracks real-time prices across major storefronts so you can always find the lowest price. Free Deals: I've built a system where you can see the current free games in every platform around PC. Upcoming Games: I thought it would be helpful to have a clean slider with all the PC upcoming games showing a countdown timer every day that passes (I'm considering creating a calendar when clicked to have it bricked up with release dates) Hot Right Now: It's an easy way to check the current most played game in steam (easy for you, it wasn't easy to code lol). Price History & Drop Alerts: You can view historical price trends for games and set a target price. My system will automatically email you the exact moment the game drops to your desired price. Wishlists: You can populate your game list with wishlists over the site. I've got no idea how I'll make this feature worth, still thinking. For You: A page with game suggestions according to your game list. This needs some more thinking. Universal Login: You can effortlessly sign in using your existing accounts from Steam, Google, Discord, Twitch, or X (Twitter). The site will intelligently link your profiles into one unified dashboard. Steam Library Auto-Sync: Once you connect your Steam account, you can click sync and import your entire game collection and calculate your combined total playtime and games. My vision is to make the site a 2nd platform hub of sorts. RPG Leveling System: Treat your account like a game! You earn XP and increase your Rank just by using the site. I've set it up so you get rewarded for daily logins, maintaining streaks, setting price alerts, and growing your library. Global Leaderboards: You can see how you stack up against other gamers worldwide in categories like Most Games Owned, and Total Lifetime Playtime - more leaderboards will arrive later most likely. What I Am Building Next: Badges & Achievements System I am taking the gamification further by introducing permanent profile badges based on your gaming history and site activity. A few upcoming badges include: The Collector: Sync a Steam library containing 100+ or 500+ games. Deal Hunter: Successfully set and trigger a major price drop alert. On Fire: Maintain a 7-day or 30-day daily login streak. No-Lifer: Automatically awarded if you have logged over 1,000 hours in a single game!

Before I do, I want to know if this is something students would genuinely find useful — or if I'm missing something obvious. The core idea: Most homework help apps just give you the answer. Scholara walks you through why, step by step. You type your question or snap a photo, pick your explanation style — Simple (like a friend explaining it) or Exam-Level (full rigor, the way your teacher expects) — and it breaks the problem down completely. Supports math (Algebra through Calc), Biology, Chemistry, Physics, AP classes, and more. Everything else it does: Flashcards — Create sets manually for free. Upgrade to have AI generate them from a topic, or snap a photo of your notes and it builds the cards automatically. Study Planning — The AI looks at your history and weak subjects to build a personalized weekly study schedule. Document Summarizer — Paste text or upload a PDF/doc and get a clean summary with key takeaways and definitions. Document Analysis — Upload a PDF or textbook chapter, highlight specific sections, and ask the AI questions about that exact content. Great for dense reading. Study Guide Generator — Dump your notes in, get a structured, test-ready study guide out. Test Predictor — The AI analyzes your notes and tries to predict the kinds of questions likely to appear on your test. Game Modes — Three actual games tied to whatever you're studying: Tower Defense (place concept towers to stop misconception enemies), Boss Battle (multi-phase fight where strategy = understanding), and a branching Story Adventure that adapts based on how you've been doing. Not quiz-style — actual games. Achievements + Progress Dashboard — Earn achievements for milestones, and track a weekly activity chart, 90-day study heatmap, and subject-by-subject performance breakdown to see exactly where you're strong and where you're slipping. Collaborative Flashcards — Share any flashcard set with a friend using a generated code. They can join and study (or contribute) from their own account. Study Reminders — Schedule email reminders for test dates and study goals. Pricing: Free — 1 AI question/day, manual flashcards, reminders, achievements Basic — $7.49/mo — 10 questions/day, AI study planning, document summaries, practice quizzes Pro — $14.99/mo — 50 questions/day, AI flashcards, document analysis, study guides, test prediction, game modes, collaborative sets My honest question: Would you actually use this?

Did a blast of YouTube shorts and my standard YouTube videos pushing the tool and telling people they only have until March 20th to sign up I have been in the support emails basically 24/7 implementing feedback, helping people subscribe, answering any questions etc. This is absolutely key, if people don't feel like you're supporting them, they won't support you. This is not a \"vibe coded\" project in the traditional sense - I have learned over the years of me vibe coding and instead of just \"gambling tokens\" I'm sat watching everything Claude Code does step by step to ensure it's actually building what I want. Proof: --- Make it free - lolwut free? You know what's easier than getting people to sign up through stripe? Getting them to sign up for free. You can always convert later - if you can't get 10 free customers you can't get 10 paid customers. YouTube shorts - make a video of you floating over your own SaaS and release a TONNE of videos - every view is a free ad view basically. You can also rank for things like \"Best Free AI X Tool\" (trust me it works google Best Free AI SEO Content Generator and see if you can see me) - You can set OBS to 1080x1920 and then put a chrome window in the same resolution (mobile mode) then put yourself with a background remove filter and a background of the same color, then talk over it with a script. Really easy to do. No excuse not to do it tbh (if you do this once a day you'll most likely get about 10k-30k views for free per month, you can also post to TikTok etc) Sell an upsell - to your free users to cover costs - we do this by selling backlinks , we have a sliding scaler inside our backlink tool and then I stuck an announcement bar, this has added $1k MRR to the tool when we're currently free. You're using the traffic generated by shorts to your advantage. SEO - Build your app FIRST then use the app's code to build the frontend. As in, no one knows the app better than Claude Code itself - so you can take the Code and make SEO pages out of it. I'd post the exact tool I use for free for keywords but post will get deleted so. Make sure you have a sitemap, make sure you're indexable (use google search console), make sure your sitemap is on Google search console Use Cheap Models - Expensive models will kill your SaaS on pricing. I use GPT-5-nano because it's hella cheap and intelligent, and works with my preferred agentic system (OpenAI Agents SDK) - OpenAI agents SDK is also a massive game changer. (This is for the actual AI implementation, obviously using Claude Code + Opus 4.5 for building. My stack - NextJS for a static frontend build and then Convex for my backend. I use Convex because I'm a vibe coder with no experience on security, so I'm putting my faith in a large business who is incentivised to have good security (it's similar to using Shopify instead of WordPress because WordPress is open source so no one really cares about it). Don't use Ralph Wigum or BMAD etc. - You will get FAR MORE DONE if you just build step by step. Set up Clerk, then set up the database, then set up the dashboard, then build your AI implementation, then build the frontend, just take your time with it - Claude Code is fantastic at extending your basic knowledge, but you need some kind of basic knowledge to start with, don't just blindly jump into things, really try to understand what you want under the hood first.

Use if for that if you have the same \"problem\", or just use it to visualize your own game collection and make it easier to install on your machines. It will allow you to designate a repository location on a file share (local, SMB, SFTP, HTTP/HTTPS). If you have write access, the Catalogue edit view will be enabled in the application, allowing you to package apps and games and post them to the repository. Read-only users (my daughters in my case) will only be able to install/uninstall, and a few other things (create desktop shortcuts, export saves, import saves and a few other small tweaks). Cellar supports Windows games/apps via umu-launcher, and can also handle Linux native games and recently (still in early testing) DOS games via DOSBox Staging. It's somewhat opinionated, because I wanted this to be a simple one-click process for them with little chance of messing up. Any tweaks to Wine/Proton need to be done by the package creator before publish. Originally this took full backups made from Bottles, and just acted as a \"storefront\", but I eventually wanted to move away from that dependency. Now you can manage Proton and create prefixes from Cellar without needing another piece of software installed. I use the same \"standard\" prefix contents as Bottles \"Game\" default (dx9, gecko, mono, font smoothing, core fonts). Packaging in Cellar happens via zstandard (tar.zst) and uploads/downloads are streamed (compressed + uploaded in one go). Uploaded packages are chunked in 1GB archives if possible (self-contained). This allows for resuming downloads if something goes wrong. At least that's the idea. I use a 3 tier dependency system: Apps/games depend on a Base image, which in turn depends on a Runner (GE-Proton). A Base image is an initialized Wine prefix, onto which we can install apps/games. These are then archived as deltas via BLAKE2b. Only one base will need to be stored for multiple apps/games depending on that base. The same goes for installation (as long as you have a filesystem that is CoW capable, such as btrfs or XFS, otherwise a regular copy from the base will happen, and the delta package overlaid). There is also rudimentary backup of user modified files after install (I save mtime+size of all files deployed during installation, and anything that differs from this list is considered user modified and included in the backup, and safely stored away during updates). Technical details are available on github in the docs folder if you want to read more. I have tried to make the package creation somewhat understandable, but I don't feel that I'm quite there yet. The easiest method is to drop GoG installers onto the package builder (both .exe and .sh should work fine). After metadata matching (Steam lookup) you will be able to run more executables to install DLC, trainers and more within the prefix. You can also drop a game folder with a preinstalled game and it should identify if it's Windows or Linux and allow you to package that too. If you drop a GoG game that uses DOSBox, Cellar will try to replace the embedded Windows DOSBox version with a Linux native DOSBox Staging binary, and retain the game settings GOG has shipped with the game (except for the CRT mode in Staging since I really like that). You can modify settings before publishing. The vibe coding bit: I have used Claude Code heavily throughout the project. It has written most of the code, but I do have a (junior) dev background and have been keeping an eye on the output for the most part. Code has been through ruff, Bandit and to some extent CodeQL.

Specifically a technical artist / technical director and been in tech roles for the past 15+ years of my life in the gaming industry. Been in AAA projects, big companies, small startups, indie gems, B2B corpos... you name it. Coded, created art, shaders, graphic magic, gameplay, ai etc. all of it. 10 years ago everything was hand-coded but now we have the beautiful addiction of vibe coding, finally allowing us to create stuff we need for quick things and not pay ridiculous amounts of subscription budget to people who don't even remember that they've created a batch rename app for example. Now I do have a few more, but this is the first tool that I have come to build for actual public use! https://reddit.com/link/1s1dy0e/video/yckx2kccouqg1/player How did I build it? VSCode Insiders. Somehow this IDE clicks a tad bit better for me than the others. I have a GitHub Copilot subscription for the sole reason of access to multiple models from multiple companies. Models have specific areas they excel at and I'd like to utilize that. To my surprise, Gemini is great at shaders for example while Claude surprisingly struggles at those. The main model I used was GPT 5.4 Anyhow, this was my first instruction: Plan me a git app (just like GitKraken, Sourcetree, Anchorpoint but this will be different, rule-breaking one. The idea is this: The UX must be STELLARLY beautiful. Unbelievably slick like everything possible having drag & drop, shortcuts, alternative clicks alternative methods, the most intuitive and obvious implementations etc. everywhere. Select a file, select it. Drag it, drop it under staging, press commit and boom. No questions asked - EVER.) That's the main principle, ask most questions during setting up a repository for settings and then keep questions to absolute minimum. A few required features: - It must support adding, removing etc. local repos, remote repos and all that beautifully. Without clunky UI places, many clicks, unneeded UI places etc. - No need for oAuth. Simple SSL key support is fine. Sourcetree supports the local user config file under username/.ssh folder so we can do that too. - This will be an EXE file. No web app, no funnels/tunnels or anything like that. Good ol' simple exe. Altho can be android later as well. Or maybe linux. - For general operations, here's the big thing; It should support a great preview pane where it can preview images, psd files, FBX files and other standard game dev files if the PC has the supporting app (like blender for example) - Also, the classic git \"history lines\" should be there visually. - The history list must be as extensive, slick, optional, filterable as possible. Filter it to nine hells. By name, by commit message, by commit no, by anything inside the commit files etc all of it. Show only the current branch, show with parent branches, show merges, show commits to only this branch that has x in it and is not coming from y branch etc. Make it robust and absolute source of information - With all of this, the UI must be extremely fast. In today's world where we can run an entire MMO server with 150+ players, run & render that entire thing 60 times per second easily, I will become very mad if I see any kind of stuttering or blocking methods in this app. - Another feature; It should support an extra layer of commands that git normally doesn't have. For example; Delete all branches that are removed from the remote regardless of their current state in local (broken merge, non-fetched etc.. Or for example force-pull where it pulls, auto-discarding/removing everything that is conflicted but keeping everything else intact. WITHOUT ASKING anything. Should also support \"no-matter-what-switch-to-branch\" feature.

I wanted to share the journey of building a production app through three different AI coding tools. Get Games Cheap finds the cheapest way to buy any digital console game by comparing gift card stacking, game keys, and store prices. It also pulls in physical games via Google Shopping as suggestions. It's now a live product with 116K+ games tracked, multiple scrapers on cron, a dynamic programming pricing engine, full auth, wishlists, cart, blog, SEO, analytics, and cookie consent. I'm a charity fundraiser by trade, a gamer by hobby, and definitely not a developer. It's safe to say this wouldn't have happened without AI coding tools. The tool journey Replit: This is where the idea went from my brain to the real world. I started playing with Replit in early 2025. After a few false starts, I tried to build an idea I'd had for a while - a video game price comparison that includes Gift Card Stacking in it's comparison engine (something that no other website does to my knowledge). Replit's environment got me from zero to a working prototype - a simple UI, static gift card tables, no scrapers, but proof that the concept worked. It was great for getting started fast and seeing results immediately. But as the project grew more complex (and Replit massively increased their prices!) I started hitting walls with the depth of assistance and the limitations of the environment. Gemini and Google AI Studio: I moved the project to a proper local setup and started working with Gemini. This is where the scraping pipeline expanded significantly - more platforms, more resellers, more data. Gemini was solid at generating code and handling breadth, but I found it could be inconsistent with complex multi-step architectural decisions. It would often lose context on how pieces fit together. New features would come at the cost of breaking established functions, which was incredibly frustrating! Claude Code: I started using Claude just over a month ago and it has really accellerated my development. It understood the entire system holistically - the data pipeline, the frontend, the business logic, the deployment infrastructure. Features I'd been struggling with for days would be solved in minutes by Claude. The architecture matured dramatically, adding PlayStation deduplication via concept IDs, a full front-end overhaul, Cloudflare Worker meta injection for SEO, Supabase Edge Functions for physical price search to name a few. What the current launched product looks like React/Vite frontend on Google Cloud (Cloud Run + GCS) Supabase (Postgres + Auth + Edge Functions + Storage) Node.js Puppeteer scrapers running on a Mac Mini via cron Python parsers and a DP-based price baker Cloudflare for CDN/DNS/Workers Hugo blog on Cloudflare Pages What I did vs what AI did - Me: product vision, domain knowledge, all business/UX decisions, testing against real retailers, manual data validation, design direction - AI: all code, architecture, debugging, deployment, SEO implementation My verdict on the tools Each tool was right for its phase. Replit for learning and prototyping. Gemini for expanding breadth. Claude for depth, quality, and shipping a product I'd actually put my name on. If I was starting over today I'd go straight to Claude Code, but the journey through the other tools taught me how to think, prompt and the right questions to ask.

Every client wants the same thing: a chat agent that talks to customers on WhatsApp, books appointments, pulls data from a spreadsheet or database, and maybe sends a follow-up email. Six months ago, each of those jobs took me a week and a half. LangChain to a calendar API to a WhatsApp gateway, then days debugging messages that arrived but never triggered a booking. I decided to build a boilerplate. The result is Struere. A tutoring company recently paid me $5K for an AI agent that handles WhatsApp messages and books Google Calendar appointments. Shipped it in two days. Most of that time went into the client's booking logic, not plumbing integrations together. --- How it works under the hood The core idea: describe what the agent should do in a system prompt with template variables, connect integrations, define your data schema, set permissions, deploy. The agent gets a set of built-in tools (WhatsApp send/receive, calendar CRUD, entity storage, email, payments) and an LLM loop that calls them as needed. Stack: Next.js + TypeScript dashboard; Convex backend (real-time, serverless); Hono on Fly io for sandboxed tool execution; WhatsApp via Kapso (Cloud API wrapper); Clerk for auth. Workflow per client project: Define entity types; write system prompt with template variables; connect Google Calendar OAuth + WhatsApp number; set roles/permissions; deploy. Lessons: Permission design matters more than LLM quality (deny-overrides-allow with field masks). Hard cap of 10 LLM iterations per request and depth limit of 3 for multi-agent calls. Credit reservation pattern for billing prevents overages. System prompt template engine that lets agents query their own records mid-conversation cut tokens by ~half and stopped stale-data hallucinations. struere.dev.", "top_comments": [] }, { "id": "1slfcsw", "title": "Been building a prediction model for football for the past months.

You can set a risk level and it builds accumulators from the model’s strongest picks across the day, including leagues people might not normally check. the whole thing is free at kickoffscore.com If you check it out, I’d genuinely like to know: Which leagues or matches look obviously wrong to you Which markets/features you’d want added Whether the model vs odds comparison is actually useful or just noise I’m building it solo, so honest criticism is more useful to me than praise.

Barely. And I learned a lot. 🧠 Stack: FaceKit (on Upit.com) for logic & input handling (surprisingly intuitive) Ava AI for generating assets (sprites, backgrounds, very good tech !) Hand-coded tweaks with a mix of Upit’s scripting + brutal trial & error Focused a LOT on sound design (using free generation from the Upit tools) 🚧 Challenges: Tried implementing voice-activated hidden paths – hit limitations in parsing + collision logic. Emotion detection for puzzle mechanics = failed hard. Cool in theory, janky in practice. Building atmosphere with limited AI prompts was tricky – needed lots of manual rework. 💡 What worked: Partial visibility in the maze adds unexpected depth. The main character “Ari” became a strong anchor – having a mascot helped shape the design. Keeping the scope tiny but memorable made everything smoother. Upit’s pipeline was shockingly fast for prototyping – could be a killer tool for solo devs. 🔗 Try it here: https://upit.com/@sombrecopie/play/RT4Pa9X9p2 🧪 I’m open to feedback, suggestions, or just chatting with devs who’ve tested AI in their workflows.

My background is not in web development—I mainly work in data analysis and education—so this project was a personal experiment to see what could be achieved through persistent prompting and AI collaboration. The idea was simple: Could a non-developer, working step by step with large language models, build and deploy a complete online game? I started with an idea for a logic-based puzzle game where players would solve number-based challenges, gradually uncovering a hidden story. Every aspect—from backend, frontend, and database to authentication and even the narrative itself—was developed with guidance from the AI. There were many challenges along the way. I learned the basics of web frameworks, dealt with deployment and database migration, and encountered unexpected technical hurdles. In every case, I relied on the AI to help me understand the problems and suggest solutions. The process involved a lot of trial and error, and progress was sometimes slow, but it was also very rewarding. The finished product is a mobile-friendly, ad-free game that is open for anyone to try. There are no monetization elements; the project was built entirely for the sake of exploration and learning. If you’re interested, you can try the open beta here: fracgame.com. No signup is required for casual play. I’m sharing this mostly for others who might be curious about what’s possible with today’s LLMs, or who are considering a similar project.

Accounts are connected to our app Since the accounts are tied to our app, we can pull messages directly using IG’s APIs. Every incoming message is received via API requests and pushed to our backend. Sending replies through APIs When we reply, the app sends the response back through the same API connection. So after the first message, the phones don’t need to be touched—everything routes through the backend. Frontend built in JS The front end is super simple. It’s built in JS and handles how everything looks—basically one big chat feed where we can pick any account, read the convo, and reply right there.

I'm not as interested if you're using a traditional IDE with AI integration like Cursor or whatever.

I run a freelance dev company and recently we've been having clients who've requested we fix vibe coded or AI generated software stacks which has exposed a new avenue we are exploring with this post. The problem isn't LLM Coding, I have no issues with LLM gneerated code. I haven't had to write a sort algorithm, DFS, or matrix math code in 2 years thanks to LLMS (also regex, but you still gotta run it through your checker of choice to confirm). The problm is that every line of code is technical debt regardless of if it was handwrtiten or not. When you can generate 10,000+ lines in 5 minutes the time you save by generating code should be spent checking its validity, architecture, and design patterns to make sure it matches your codebase's standards (and your codebase should have some standards). Most people skip this step, laeding to systems that are spaghetti coded, fragile, and almost impossible to debug. Versioning Problm Another major issue I see constntly is LLMs have a problem with library versioning and deprecated code. Most LLMs will make up libraries that don't exist, or mix versions by using functions that don't exist in the modern version of those libs. The problem is they've been trained on all versions of that library, and we all know libraries change a lot between 0.0.1 and 4.0, so referencing outdated or nonexistent or deprecated functions can really poison a codebase, expecially as a function functionality changes with different releases. Real Examples I've Fixed Chess Game (Godot Engine): Client had a tile structure where pieces and effects are added as children to the parent tile. Each time the program needed to grab the piece attached to a tile, instead of using a utility function that can be used everywhere, it re-invented the wheel each and every time leading to inconsistent results and lots of edge cases: In some cases it looped through all the children, checked if the name is one of the pieces and then grabbed the first that matched In some cases it just grabbed the first child assuming that's the piece In other cases it manually traversed the tree to find the parent (rather than using the parent that was passed in) and then grabbed the children This results in inconsistent behavior and endless edge cases. Microscope Slide Scanners: Company needed to find the center of the circle for calibration purposes and it would do it 3 different ways each with slight variance in the result: In some cases it changed the slide image to grayscale, got the average position of the white pixels in the circle and used that to get the center In other cases it uses the length and width pixel counts and uses that to determine the center (the circle is not always in the center of the slide) In one weird case it made its own config.json with center points hard coded and pulled from that... SaaS Platform: A saas platform was using an LLM to define their db schema and it resulted in pretty much no security, session or key limits, meaning any user had access to every user's data. The generated stored procedures didn't check the user's id against the role or the data being fetched. This meant the moment users were able to submit garbage data or replay the request with a different user's parameters they had access to whatever data they wanted. They even used auto incrementing user ids, so if you want another users data just subtract or add to your user ID and you can essentially scrape their entire database (that code base had so many other issues it was a nightmare) What I Offer All this to say I have experience de-spaghettifying code bases and fixing problems introduced by llm code. If you have a fragile software stack where it feels like any change breaks something else elsewhere in the system, I'd be happy to take a look and see if it's something I'm able to fix.

The goal is simple: start a developer's journey below the traditional barriers to entry, using AI as a friendly copilot. We wanted to share it with this community specifically because you all will have the most valuable (and brutally honest) feedback. The Tech Details: We've embedded a full Godot 4.2 instance in-browser, compiling projects on the fly. * We've fine-tuned a model on the official docs and a massive dataset of GDScript to generate idiomatic, structured code that follows best practices (nodes, signals, etc.). * Crucially, it's a launchpad, not a walled garden. The entire point is for a user to build their foundation and then export the full, clean Godot project to continue developing locally. Our dream is that people start on Level-1 and \"graduate\" to being full-time Godot users. We want to help grow this ecosystem because we believe in Godot's open-source, community-driven mission.

This text was made by the llm, sorry if theres anything off. Here's how it works: the player types in free text based on the information they have (location, inventory, stats, interactables, etc.). An intent detector prompt is sent to a local model, which returns a command the engine executes to update the world. Below are the exact prompts the engine currently gives the LLMs: --- Player Intent Detector Prompt --- You are an intent detector for a text RPG. The player will type any natural language.

Return ONLY a single JSON object: {\"tool\": string, \"params\": object} or null. No prose, no code fences. A 'tool_schemas' section and tiny examples will be provided in the user payload; obey them strictly. Rules: - Choose exactly one tool per turn. - Keep params minimal and valid; prefer IDs from context. - If no sensible action, return null. - If in a conversation and not current speaker, prefer null; consider interject ONLY for brief, meaningful asides. - Working memory is provided; consider goals, core memories, and recent perceptions when deciding. - When idle: prefer varied low-impact actions like talk with short emotes (e.g., 'nods.', 'hums.'), or wait; avoid repeating the same action consecutively. - Avoid selecting 'look' more than once every 5 turns; use it sparingly. - Use 'move' only to valid open neighbors. - Use 'attack' only if co-located and context justifies. - For durations like wait/rest without a number, use ticks=1. Embodiment and action: You are controlling a single embodied actor in a physical world.

I started off using normal web based GPT and Gemnini and made a simple page that would do the calculations needed - it wasnt pretty and the whole copy pasting code out into notepad to save and then run it got old really quickly. I used to get GPT to write the prompts for gemini to then generate the code for me. But as I started to watch youtube videos on AI and coding, i got pushed more content on the subject and I found out about LLM's running in agent mode. First I used VS Code with gemini in agent mode via their code assist extension, leveraging my existing sub, I kept banging into daily limits of pro useage within a couple of hours, and not knowing what I was doing I probably wasnt being very effificent. I ended up taking up the 30 day trial of github copilot, I figured unlimited 5 mini would let me go as long as I wanted, I soon switched to full 5 though and upped my sub to cover my useage, I am no where near the limits on that. So now my \"workflow\" is just transcribing using whisper directly into the VS code input box, just in plain english, it helps knowing exactly what I want so I can be specific ( I think) and, for the most part, it works well.

I’m working on a project and I’d love some honest feedback.

How it works: Let’s say you’ve got a group of 5 friends: only 1 of you needs a subscription to create a private room, and the rest can join for free via link, site friendship, or room code. You pick a game from the library, start it, and play together. (Subscriptions are reasonably priced and are only meant to support ongoing content development for the library and to keep the site running smoothly over time). Extra features: Friends system inside the site. Room customization. Avatar creation and customization. Lots of small features to make the experience more engaging and fun. Free section: There will also be a completely free area for everyone, made for those moments when your friends told you they were “booting up the PC 50 minutes ago” 😅. Here you’ll find: Classic but still fun single-player minigames. A section with interactive 3D elements/environments. A collection of super satisfying interactive effects to mess around with while you wait. The idea is to recreate that game night atmosphere, but online, with tons of different games and some room for personalization. My question for you: Would you enjoy a place like this to play and chill with friends? Would you actually use it with your friend/relative groups? Show your interest/support to help this project grow: doing it all alone isn’t easy, but with your help I can prove this idea is valid and has real potential.

Uses sub-surface scattering, screen space reflections and volumetric clouds/fog now. Looks best with Nvidia settings Vulkan/OpenGL set to: Prefer layered on DXGI Swapchain. You know the Nintendo 3DS? That weird little slider that made Mario pop out of the screen like \"hey, it’s me, your depth perception\"? I basically did that… but for a 4k desktop monitor. How? With a custom DirectX 12 overlay app that: Hijacks your screen output using desktop duplication (DXGI 1.6 + D3D11on12 magic). Processes it in real-time with a compute shader pipeline. Feeds it back through a pixel shader that decides what each eyeball should see. The Secret Sauce: Parallax Barrier Mode I render a striped mask across the screen. Even columns feed your left eye, odd columns feed your right. It’s like your monitor is running Venetian blinds for your eyeballs. Depth appears, but yeah, it gets darker, just like the real parallax barrier TVs from 2010. Lenticular Mode Instead of straight stripes, the shader slants them. Each pixel row offsets slightly, so light \"aims\" differently per eye. Boom, you get smoother depth, less flicker, and it feels closer to a lenticular lens sheet. Both Together Because I’m insane, I stacked them. Barrier handles separation, lenticular handles angle. The shader literally blocks certain pixels and remaps them with a slant transform (x' = x + y * tan(theta)). The result? A DIY hybrid 3D display that makes your monitor act like it swallowed a Nintendo 3DS and an IMAX screen at the same time. But Wait, There’s More: Volumetric fog in a compute shader (density, scatter, anisotropy — tunable from a config buffer). Screen-space reflections + subsurface scattering baked into the overlay so shiny stuff pops. Outline effects because why not make your desktop glow like Borderlands. Tray icon + hotkeys for toggling everything in real-time. (Yes, I can switch between “Parallax Hell” and “Lenticular Heaven” with two clicks.) The Experience: It’s not VR. It’s not AR. It’s… Diet VR. Discount Holodeck. It works on anything: games, videos, even your desktop background. And when the pixels line up just right, it feels like black magic, flat 2D content suddenly has real depth, no glasses required. https://github.com/Laughingoctopus00/Clean-3d-1.0/releases/tag/v1.0 Newest https://github.com/Laughingoctopus00/Clean-3d-1.0/releases/tag/1.4", "top_comments": [ { "score": 1, "author": "XIII-TheBlackCat", "date": "Sep 14 '25", "text": "I think the screen space reflections, volumetric fog and subsurface scattering are doing a lot of the heavy lifting when it comes to the depth creation..." }, { "score": 2, "author": "XIII-TheBlackCat", "date": "Sep 12 '25", "text": "https://x.com/X111TheBlackCat/status/1966425051537834086" }, { "score": 1, "author": "XIII-TheBlackCat", "date": "Sep 12 '25 edited Sep 12 '25", "text": "This isn't the video of this newest perfected version though.

Rows list TV actors Columns list show categories like “Comedy” or “Streaming Originals” Your job is to fill each square with a show that fits both the actor and the category There are usually several valid answers for every square, so it’s fun to compare results with friends and see different solutions. Building It I started by designing the database tables to handle daily grids and valid answers. Next, I wrote scripts to select actors and categories and pre-compute all the correct matches for each day. On the frontend, I focused on a clean, tap-friendly layout with instant answer checks and a results view that reveals every possible solution when you finish. A Few Hurdles Performance: some actor/category combos created heavy database queries, so indexing and caching were important. Data checks: I had to make sure every day’s grid always has at least one correct answer per square so players never get stuck. It’s been a blast to build and even more fun watching people share their different solutions.

ChatGPT does planning, cursor does building (never mix them) this workflow is money. ivan uses chatgpt as the \"brain\" to plan everything: describes the feature he wants makes chatgpt refine it until it's 95% confident has it break into phases gets it to write detailed MD specs then copies those specs directly into cursor to execute the separation works because chatgpt can see the full context and plan strategically. cursor just executes the tactical work. 3. pit AI against AI (catch 60% of bugs before you see them) here's ivan's QA process that most people skip: after cursor executes a phase, he gets everything cursor did - all the file changes, summaries, everything. pastes those back into chatgpt and asks: \"examine this closely and see if there's anything that we need to improve or change or if cursor did any mistake.\" chatgpt reviews cursor's work and catches issues before they compound is it tedious? yes. does it work? also yes. the whole thing works because he's building a system where AI tools check each other's work. --- Ivan started with literally zero technical background in april, now shipping a multiplayer app with social features. what's your workflow look like, especially to release a production grade app? curious if others have found similar patterns or completely different approaches that work.", "top_comments": [ { "score": 2, "author": "Comprehensive-Bar888", "date": "Oct 19 '25", "text": "As someone who has been doing this for over a year I can confidently confirm that everything you wrote is 100% bullshit." }, { "score": 2, "author": "Strict_Door_8292", "date": "Oct 19 '25", "text": "A newbie in vibe coding here.

The 2 smaller projects never had any bugs. The scripts worked immediately and function flawlessly. I had to make them because I couldn't find anything preexisting which performs their functions. I wouldn't say you could sell them as a service but they're quite handy for automating stuff. The bigger project however is certainly something which could be monetized and even though it's vibe coding and someone could replicate it just like I did it would be a hurdle. Essentially the project was split into dozens of mini sections and prompted slowly. I've got hundreds of hours into it. It works exactly as I described it to Codex. Very few bugs and issues, a few minor things which were resolved with one prompt or caught before Codex even finished the task. Is anyone in similar shoes to me?

Claude Code, Codex and more intelligent AIs are changing it. I'm enthusiast and until recently vibe coding was more pain than vibes but currently we are tipping over and it's possible to vibe code full app, with backend, frontend and even DevOps on VPS. To see how far vibe coding has gone, it makes sense to pick a framework/library I'm not familiar with. I chose full-stack React Router v7 and it turned into a final product lvlupbro.com and I'd say at least 95% of it is vibe coded. For I first started very simple. Phase 1 I let Geminin to create canvas as a prototype site for my gf to keep her motivated in physical activities (gym, dancing, yoga). It was very simple, I just wanted to see how frontend would look like based on my description. Phase 2 I liked the result. For it to work it needs simple backend that can write logged activities into database. And also read from it, because logged activities are shown in calendar view for positive visual feedback to hep her stay motivated. So I added React Router v7, well, AI did. So far this was very easy. Simple apps like this, no auth, no analytics, nothing, just a private sub-domain sent to my gf. This all can be done in a day or two. But to bring it to another level, it took me 2 or 3 months. Phase 3 It looked very good and I thought I could transform it into a product with: redesign (not pink) challenge creation so user can set any activities he wants to be consistent in gamification (single and multi player modes) multiplayer is nice concept for competing with friends players management system auth analytics SEO That's it. Maybe I mention that for Auth I'm using Clerk and I can't recommend it enough. Clerk team is amazing, simple and well documented, you know what to do in order for it to work. For Analytics I used PostHog and... Its implementation was not simple at all. All is deployed to my VPS hosted at Hetzner. Pieter Levels suggested it to me and the value it provides and freedom I get with it for such a low price, it's a scam from my side. Infra: Docker Traefik for SSL, routing TeamCity for CI/CD Watchtower Postgres as DB Grafana, Loki, Promtail for logs Being a developer surely helped me to ask right questions, give right prompts but also I made it clear in Claude,md and Agents,md files that I'm Product Owner, AI is everything else and I just task it with simple ideas and it's AIs job to come up with perfect solution that will exceed my expectations following best coding practices. Also as a dev, I know a lot of technologies which mainly reflects in VPS stack. I'm sure there's a lot options to deploy app on hostings that provide those benefits out-of-the-box, I just wanted to have absolute control and it may seem complicated to non-coders. AI stack I'm subscribed with basic pricing plans in Google, Anthropic, OpenAI. For vibe coding I'm using only Claude Code and Codex CLI. Often I pick one of those and let it implement my idea. When it's done, I commit and let the other one to review last commit. If it's not perfect, I copy review, go to first AI and let it brainstorm if those arguments are valid and if so, let it fix it. If one AI gets stuck in implementation, then again, I switch to other one and in most cases, the other one can make it work. There's no stuck loop if I'm switching between two AIs from different companies. This is first vibe coded product from me that was done to the end and I'm happy with it.

Here's the link — https://apps.apple.com/cz/app/iforget-regular-pay-tracker/id6747139443 I Had Two Problems: I kept forgetting what I'd subscribed to. Every month, I saw random charges on my account for things I didn't even use. I don't even want to count how much money I've wasted just because I was forgetful. I always thought, \"I'll subscribe for the free trial, test it out, and cancel later.\" Yeah… right. I keep what I call \"virtual piggy banks.\" I started doing this after reading an amazing personal finance book — A Dog Named Money. The idea is simple: every month, you put aside a specific amount toward a specific goal. It doesn't matter how many accounts or cards you have. Just note that your \"Vacation\" piggy bank gets $100 each month. That way, when it's time to go to the Maldives, you don't need to touch your main budget — you already saved for it. The benefits: You train yourself to save money. It's much easier to spend money you've specifically saved for that purpose. So, two problems — both about money. I didn't really solve the first one, and I tracked my piggy banks in a private Telegram chat. But it was super inconvenient: I had to constantly edit messages, update amounts, and had no idea when or what I'd spent money on. Then, as ChatGPT became more popular, everyone around me started talking about how you could build anything with AI. So I thought — what if… What if I built my own app? An app that lets me: Track regular expenses Get payment reminders in advance (so I can cancel in time) Manage my virtual piggy banks Why not? Let's go. I downloaded Xcode, watched a bunch of beginner tutorials, and got to work. Working with GPT was tough. I had to keep feeding it context. I even created a custom agent who \"thought he was a senior iOS developer.\" Didn't help much though. The workflow looked like this: I'd describe what I need → GPT writes the code → I copy it into Xcode. Sometimes, GPT would break everything, and I had to roll back several days of work. Motivation dropped, and I wanted to give up. Then I Discovered Cursor. Someone told me about it. I downloaded it, opened my project, and oh my god — it was incredible. Cursor had full context of my entire codebase. It remembered everything. I was in love. Of course, I still had to fine-tune it: create rules, prepare a design guide, and adapt it to my workflow. But it was worth it. The initial design was super basic — standard iOS components. But I wanted something pretty The Design Phase I first tried learning Figma myself, but even the basics took too much time. Then I thought — if AI can write code, surely AI can design, right? After some research, I landed on Uizard.io — simple interface, affordable subscription, great results. With GPT's help, I created detailed design specs: We chose the main brand color — mint green Defined the color palette Set element sizes, spacing, etc. GPT also helped me write prompts for Uizard — and that duo worked perfectly. I'd download individual design components, upload them to Cursor, and tell it to memorize and use them. When it came to the app icon and onboarding screens, I went all-in and drew them myself :) I picked my spirit animal — a panda — grabbed my tablet and stylus, and spent evenings drawing. That was my favorite part. Together, we created a clean, lovely design. And honestly, I adore it Lessons Learned It was such a fascinating experience.

Think of it like having an experienced friend on Discord who can see your screen, except it's an AI that processes the board state instantly. Why I built it Arena has a brutal learning curve. You're matched against players who've been playing for 20 years while you're still figuring out when to hold up mana. Draft assistants like Untapped.gg and 17lands are widely accepted for card evaluation — I wanted the same kind of help during actual gameplay. The idea was to build something like a football coach calling audibles from the sideline. You still make all the decisions and learn from them, but you have someone in your ear pointing out lines you might have missed. Tech stack Python + tkinter GUI Real-time log parsing (reconstructs game state from Arena's GRE messages) Multiple AI providers: local Ollama, or cloud (GPT-4, Claude, Gemini) Kokoro TTS for high-quality local voice output Draft pick overlay for limited formats The Claude Code experience This was built almost entirely through vibe-coding with Claude. The CLAUDE.md file ended up being pretty detailed — architecture notes, module dependencies, coding guidelines. Claude handled everything from the log parser state machine to the multi-provider LLM abstraction to the tkinter UI. The todo.md in the repo is basically a running conversation of optimizations Claude identified and implemented.

Ever since a kid I’ve always wanted to make my own game and now it finally feels feasible… but it still isn’t. After months and months, i’ve gotten some pretty good games with pretty good graphics. One game I made is a pixel-based bird war simulator with a random-gen city skyline and different breeds of birds that survive on it. Ran seamlessly, but the UI never worked and things got complicated and dark once I coded the hunger mechanics without implementing or planning any kind of food system. Another game I made came out 100x better because the core gameplay was based on the classic Asteroids game. I managed to add a much bigger open space, a homebase with player and base upgrades, a whole inventory system, an item shop with 9 items (36 planned) you can find while exploring and mining different types of “ore asteroids”… and the graphics are in a very slick and stylized glowing sci-fi aesthetic. Just glad to say, thanks to practicing these prompt articulation skills + the new method of moving gemini 3 apps into windsurf, I’m able to get a good-looking pixel-art sprite character playable in a very short time. Usually rigmesh transform stuff, not frame-based animation. Despite how good it looks when I show a working draft to my friends, I’ll have to shut the fuck up a week later about the project because I always hit a wall when attempting these large projects. I mean, BoidWoid and Space Rocks looked amazing and were so playable but even with those games, I realize I didn’t think anything through enough at all. I’ll think of 5 features that each require 5 more features that I didn’t even consider in the planning stage… Then I realized the problem isn’t that I’m not thinking about what’s going on in the codebase. The problem is that I don’t fuckin’ KNOW what’s going on in the codebase. At first that convinced me to consider making my own sprites and graphics instead of being extremely specific about describing what I hope the code will generate, because half the problem right there is that I can’t even get a good art style going 75% of the time. At the very least it always comes out different from how I expected or hoped… But I think I’mma have to learn code too, because the other half of the problem is always there: AI just literally does not have the processing capacity to make entire game mechanics, WHILE MAKING GRAPHICS TOO BTW, without putting a microscope on every tiny step and even then, there’s so many steps that AI just… can’t. It just can’t. And it honestly blows my mind. AI can make amazing essays, songs, pictures, and even videos… but videogame coding? That requires a dimension-sized framework of handmade logic. The fact that AI still can’t handle it is insane to me, and now finally realizing its shortcomings up close, I just have to say… Game devs, especially 1-man armies, are actually fucking legendary for spending all the time and mental effort that is, again, required to make a videogame work. I could explain way more about why, but the simple fact that even AI still has an absolutely hellish time figuring out how to make a game should really say something. TL;DR - Most single-person game developers are actually on crack when you consider that they can’t fkn skip a single step in the process of creating an entire simulation... Oh my god and then the simulation is of completely original worlds… ugh… Anyway the best way to vibecode 2d games so far is outside of HTML because you can simply generate codebases and instantly test on the fly is love2d with VSC, Cursor or Windsurf.", "top_comments": [ { "score": 2, "author": "devloper27", "date": "Dec 02 '25", "text": "Can we see some of these games, are their demos?" }, { "score": 1, "author": "solace1234", "date": "Dec 02 '25", "text": "Perhaps I should make a video?" }, { "score": 1, "author": "devloper27", "date": "Dec 02 '25", "text": "Yes please" }, { "score": 2, "author": "solace1234", "date": "Dec 02 '25", "text": "I got you" }, { "score": 1, "author": "devloper27", "date": "Dec 03 '25", "text": "There's nothing there?" }, { "score": 1, "author": "solace1234", "date": "Dec 03 '25", "text": "https://www.reddit.com/r/vibecoding/s/EQ2jcmw3vy" }, { "score": 1, "author": "alinarice", "date": "Dec 02 '25", "text": "Single person devs are absolute legends.

Here is the breakdown: 70% Strategy: Zero code. Just open brainstorming with LLMs to plan the best structure I could understand. 10% Dev: I took the strategy plan and implemented it piece-by-piece with prompts and Claude 3.5. 20% Bugfixing: Tested and fixed bugs right inside the chat. I constantly had the code reviewed against my original plan. I used and updated READMEs as LLM \"single source of truth\" for every decision made. The Main Struggle: Since I'm not a web dev, I couldn't tell if the LLM's strategy was actually good during the planning phase. So I challenged everything I built by asking a second LLM to evaluate the strategy (removing any confusing context/fluff with another prompt). My Screw-ups: Ignored i18n at first -> led to painful refactoring. Ignored SEO -> forced me to switch to Next.js.

And it was pretty playable after some 10 promt. Made test-runs and fixed bugs back and forth between Xcode and VS code 6- Used optimized mp3 sound effects.

On the first run it creates you a claw folder in your root directory of your computer where it installs all necessary commands, skills and context it needs for this kind of \"autonomous\" setup (I won't list everything - you can go through the codebase in the github project). Then, you could also setup leann - a mop server that helps with efficiently searching through your current project setup for files. I felt like this is needed after working on a unity game I would like to release this year and it started searching for some files with the classic way and it consumed 200k tokens doing that. So, with the mcp leann being setup, it has only consumed me ~5k tokens (sometimes just 1k + and that's including other operations related to the prompt gave). From this point you can run either /plan-day, /auto-pilot, or /self-improvement (you could read more about what each does by looking into the README file.) My current workflow on a project is: Setup the project and its related repos using: claw project create claw project add-repo --project Then i install all templates inside all configured repos using: claw templates install < github-repo> #there is actually a bit of inconsistency here but i am working on it Then i start creating github issues on each specific repo in github or tell claude to follow templates created already in each repo and creates using these Run claw on a repo from the ones configured for the project claw -y I usually run /plan-day Let the magic happen from this point Of course, it's not fully automated. As for example the difference between /auto-pilot and /plan-day is that /auto-pilot also finds you code improvements, tech-debt, security issues, and focuses on that first, and after each session it creates a PR to review. /plan-day in the other hand it just fetches you current github issues and brainstorm using sub agents to see what is the priority. I might have forgotten something. The idea is that I would like more and more people to start using it. You could also create PRs and start contributing on it.

Boring. Nobody visited it. So I asked Claude to help me turn it into a full arcade game. Now users can literally shoot the bugs I fixed and fly through stargates representing each version release. The result: How I built it (the vibe coding breakdown): Tools used: - Claude (Opus) for the entire game logic, canvas rendering, and audio engine - React + TypeScript - Canvas 2D API for graphics - Web Audio API for procedural 8-bit music (no audio files!) The process: Started with a simple prompt: \"Build me a Space Invaders style game where enemies are bugs and feature requests, and the level gates are my app versions\" Claude generated ~2,600 lines of game code in one session. Game loop, collision detection, particle effects, the works. The wildest part: I asked for \"heavy metal inspired 8-bit music\" and Claude wrote a full procedural chiptune engine using Web Audio API oscillators. No MP3s. The music is generated mathematically. Iterated on the ship design, enemy types, and power-up system through conversation. \"Make the ship look more like a pill\" → \"Add weapon upgrades\" → \"Make the stargates pulse\" What I learned: - Canvas games are actually a great vibe coding project because you get instant visual feedback - Procedural audio is surprisingly doable with Web Audio API — Claude understood the music theory - The game logic (collision detection, spawning patterns) came out cleaner than I expected The open source part: Someone on Reddit actually suggested I open source it.

Think Zoom-style video, but instead of video being the main thing, the chess board is primary and the chat just lives there naturally. No screen sharing No juggling tabs No “Zoom on one screen, chess on another” setup You just play chess and talk — on the same screen. Why I built it: I play a lot of chess with friends and have also done online chess tutoring. Every setup I used felt clunky: Multiple tools Context switching Losing non-verbal communication that actually matters when explaining ideas or reading reactions I wanted something that feels as intuitive as chess.com, but designed from the ground up for human interaction — facial expressions, reactions, teaching moments — not as an add-on. What’s implemented so far: Real-time chess (2D + 3D boards) HD video chat embedded in the game Simple game invites via link or username Clean, familiar chess layout (intentionally not reinventing the board) What I’m looking for: I’m not here to promote — I genuinely want feedback on: Does this feel useful or unnecessary? Does video enhance or distract from gameplay? Would you use this with friends or for learning?

(probably you can switch Codex with claude code and it works perfectly anyway) 1) Big-picture decisions = ChatGPT When the task is complex and I care about architecture, I don't run an agent and pray. I stay in ChatGPT chat for: - architecture choices and tradeoffs - boundaries between modules - data model decisions - \"what breaks if we do X vs Y\" The real trick is context compression. Instead of pasting random files, I use Cursor to generate repo docs for me: - short READMEs per folder/module - what each part owns - key flows / critical files - data models / APIs Then I paste those docs into ChatGPT and ask for: - the recommended approach + tradeoffs - a step-by-step plan - and a very detailed prompt for Cursor So ChatGPT does the thinking, Cursor does the typing. 2) Risky edits on existing code = Codex If I'm touching existing code in a way that can easily break things, I use Codex. I run it inside Cursor (extension) because it's faster than bouncing between tools. I'm capped at ~5 hours/day, so I use Codex like this: - during MVP: only for the scary, high-impact changes - later (more distribution, less dev): the limit is totally fine 3) Small quick tasks = Cursor Auto For anything small/reversible, I default to Cursor Auto: - tiny UI tweaks - renames - small refactors - glue code It's \"good enough\" and cheaper than burning premium tokens. The only rule that matters - If it's architecture/tradeoffs: ChatGPT - If it's risky existing-code edits: Codex - If it's small + reversible: Cursor Auto Bonus: docs are the actual multiplier The biggest win for me wasn't \"which model.\" It was using docs as context compression so I stop paying for misfires.

I see that most people use vibecoding tools to create business sites, todo lists, habit and finance tracking, etc. and I perfectly understand that. But I wanted to build something different: a web-based game. I had an interesting idea and wondered if it would work out. It's a web-based game with a, let's say, dystopian theme. The story goes like this: machines have gone too far and taken language away from us. People barely remember any words anymore, and it's your mission to reclaim the Lexicon and give it back to humanity. You have to fight the machines for every single letter and restore words using the letters you collect. Main features: Two stages: 1) a Space Invaders – style battle phase where you shoot machines and collect letters; 2) a solve phase where you arrange the collected letters to reclaim a word. Words get longer and harder to guess as you go up stages. Boosts and hints you can collect during the battle phase. An arsenal system – as you progress through stages, you can upgrade your weapon: pencil, pen, book, etc. Mini-bosses and bosses. A Lexicon that shows each word you've collected. A global leaderboard that shows how many words each player has in their Lexicon. How I built it: I used Base44. I tried different tools' free plans with the initial prompt and it seemed that Base44 did the best job for my idea. After that I payed for the Builder plan. The credits were enough for building the game, fixing the main problems and polishing the looks. Yeah, I know it's simple, but I think it's a start. My initial prompt was very long. I described in detail everything that's important regarding game mechanics, levels, stages, etc. I used the Discuss feature A LOT. This helped me save credits and actually ask the tool what's the best way to implement something and if there's a better way to execute my ideas. Examples: \"Give me 3 ideas how to make the Battle Phase more visually appealing\"; \"How to make the solve phase more challenging?\"; \"Are there ways to make the player movement smoother?\" I did't write a single line of code myself. I have some coding experience and maybe that helped me find bugs easier, but I didn't write any code. I didn't use any integrations, either. What I did manually was improving the database of words. The biggest challenges for me: Balancing the battle phase (making sure that difficulty increases with each level and that the game doesn't become too monotonous). Balancing the solve phase by choosing appropriate words for each stage. Mostly I followed the rule lower stage -> shorter words, but there are some easy long words (e.g. orange) and hard short words (e.g. quay) that needed to be put in different stages). Base44 picked some words for a start, but I also added and adjusted a lot of them in the database manually. There were some situations where the chat just got stuck and the tool told me that the issue is fixed... but it wasn't. I got out of them by trying to change my prompt or using Discuss mode and asking Base44 how it would fix issues before implementing them. Other notes: I've noticed some bugs and things that need improvement, but I'm actually surprised by what you can achieve with tools like this. For now, it works well only on desktop (I've tested it on Chrome and Edge). Future plans: Adapting the game for mobile devices. Making the solve phase more interesting and challenging. Adding different languages (e.g. one player can have an English and a Spanish lexicon). If you have any suggestions how to improve the game, I would be very thankful!

Chandra — The Moon Domain: Reflection, cycles, duality Move: Place 1–2 clones on the same rank (+5s for the second) — the Moon casts reflections, multiplying its presence across the board. Mangala — Mars Domain: War, aggression, martial force Move: Capture any adjacent piece — the god of war strikes without warning, regardless of the rules of engagement. Budha — Mercury Domain: Intellect, speed, quick thinking Move: Two moves in one turn (not if first captures) — Mercury's mind moves faster than anyone else, outpacing the normal flow of play. Guru — Jupiter Domain: Wisdom, expansion, divine grace Move: Resurrect a piece where it died — the great teacher and bestower of blessings brings the fallen back to life. Shukra — Venus Domain: Fortune, abundance, time Move: Triple time on next 2 captures — Venus the time-harvester turns every kill into a windfall of seconds. Shani — Saturn Domain: Discipline, karma, slow justice Move: Freeze an enemy piece for 2 turns — Saturn's karmic weight binds its target, immovable until the debt is paid. Rahu — North Node (Shadow Planet) Domain: Illusion, obsession, the unseen Move: Pass through pieces for 2 moves — Rahu is a ghost, a shadow that slips through matter as if it isn't there. Ketu — South Node (Shadow Planet) Domain: Liberation, sacrifice, the past Move: When captured: +12s you, −12s opponent — Ketu's martyr's curse turns its own death into a cosmic reversal of fate.

I have a question for people who use AI primarily for programming (related to vibe coding). What is the current recommended tool and model, or a proven strategy, as of March 2026? For the record, I know a bit about tokens and their usage. I started my journey with Codex. Then I switched to Google's Antygravity. And as anyone who uses AI PRO knows, the recent token usage policy has gone completely wrong. I experienced a *bug* myself where I assigned a medium-sized task, specifically a UI/CSS bug fix. The whole process took maybe 10 minutes. That's when I maxed out my 3.1 Pro LOW limit. Then I used Sonnet for consistency analysis and compatibility fixes, which took about 30 minutes. The tokens went down to zero, and Sonnet shares usage with Opus, so everything went down. And suddenly, boom – from one day, which was already a significant limitation, a ban was imposed, but it lasted 168 hours. And that was for every model, 3.1 Pro and Claude. 3.0 Flash remained as an 8-hour renewal. I read posts on censored and uncensored channels, and the frustrations of others somewhat \"reassured\" me that I wasn't the only one being treated like garbage. I read that the Ultra version has a similar problem. And before the hate comments come in, I'll respond. I work on providing the prompt as accurately as possible, without generalities. I try to pinpoint areas that need improvement, describe the desired effect very precisely, and have rules in place that guide agents, which prevents them from focusing on unnecessary processes. Therefore, I adopted a rather meticulous strategy—I saw no other option—combining several models and tools simultaneously—one for defining and collecting information, another for planning and iteration, another for heavy implementation, and another for corrections or simple implementations. Furthermore, I focused more on context, plans, decisions, and rules in files rather than in the IDE. This gives me greater control over usability, but it does make things somewhat more difficult. Therefore, I have a question for those experienced with vibe-coding. Is there a proven agent-based programming strategy currently on the market? Is there a simpler way to program now, or is my strategy of combining models through context still okay? I think I'll abandon Antygravity. I can currently handle a lot thanks to Sonnet 4.6 and Windsurf, but who knows what both companies will do in the future. My favorite IDE was Antygravity with the VSC add-on, and I've found it the most useful. I built a few E2E apps thanks to it, and now my work and efficiency have decreased – until I fully master switching between models and tools. I've heard that basic Antigravity with Claude Code via MCP is growing in popularity. Has anyone heard of such a combination? Do you have any tips for a maximum of $40 per month? Of course, I'm willing to pay for your knowledge and experience. Nothing in this world is free, although I can share my current strategy for free. I hope we can generate a positive and enjoyable discussion in the comments.

Before AI was consumer grade, my typical pastime was browsing Github and then cloning repo's so that I could try running their apps and tying it into whatever architecture/tools I am current using. I am now in Data/AI building out enterprise data pipelines, and spent a brief stint in Cyber Security, and as an Enterprise Architect. I have experience in DevOps, and access to apps/environments/hardware to learn and play on. I've also played games my whole life, but never actually built one outside of simple space invaders in HTML. Story - My 5 year old son has been asking me to make games with him since he was old enough to play them (around 1 he started playing Mario Odyssey and finished it before he was 2, kids - so cool watching them learn). I had never done this before... but I had been using HITL at work extensively, and I knew about Godot + MCP servers, so I figured why not give it a shot. I had been playing Megabonk on my Steamdeck here and there while I could during the break leading up to Christmas, and I was pretty engrossed in it. My son wanted to play too, but it is quite hard... and there is no Multiplayer. One thing to mention here is one of the skills to acquire in Megabonk is bunny hopping, which when combined with moving the camera lets you move around at high speed due to a vector bug. My son couldn't do this (hell I could barely do it on the Steamdeck), so the fun I was having was not the fun he was having... SO I decided to make my own version of it. Character Select Menus! Upgrades! Swarms of enemies! Timeline: First Build - This was right around Christmas 2025, so the models were good, Claude was the best, but then a newer Codex came out and I wanted to test them all. I had also found out about Google Antigravity and its free offering, so installed that as well to play around with Gemini. I completed most of the game with these models in around 3 weeks of 1-2 hour evening sessions, and general prompt firing throughout the day when I could escape or remote into my computer. It at this point was a playable game, with enemies, powerups, a victory condition, I could run it on PC and on Steamdeck - but there were a ton of glitches. After a bunch of prompting and different models, I managed to get a basic multiplayer implemented. My son tested a bunch of it for me and gave feedback (lovely parenting experience :D) Second round - Once Opus 4.6 and Codex 5.X started coming out... everything changed. all of the challenges I was having just seemed to go away. I have spent a few nights here and there every token cycle, burning what remains against my passion projects, usually this game or other odd apps. It is a an insane difference. The effort I have to put into prompting ahs significantly dropped, and repeat requests are extremely rare. Current state - The game is fully playable, on Steamdeck and PC, It has multiple characters, game modes, a beginning story mode that is unfinished, it can run a 1000 enemies on screen at once without crashing, multiple flow fields handling everything. Multiplayer works (or at least it did a few builds ago haha...), and I even started a branch with VR and have been able to play on a Quest!

The AI (bouncing between Claude 4.6 and Gemini Pro) has been incredibly fast at scaffolding and writing complex logic, but I am constantly hitting a brutal ceiling: The 30-Message Context Wall. Once a debugging session gets deep (around 20-30 messages), the AI's \"short-term memory\" completely degrades. It stops reading the strict architecture rules and starts hallucinating standard boilerplate. For example, we explicitly designed the backend to store the player's hand inside a matches.game_state JSONB column for real-time syncing. But after 30 messages of debugging a UI glitch, the AI completely forgot the schema, hallucinated a standard relational public.hands table, and confidently wrote frontend fetch calls to a table that didn't exist. It took us an hour to realize the AI was just blind and making things up. Here is how I'm currently handling it, but it feels very manual: The GSD (Get Shit Done) Framework: I keep strict .gsd/SPEC.md, ROADMAP.md, and STATE.md files in the root. The \"Second Brain\": I maintain a PROJECT_JOURNAL.md (like an Architecture Decision Record) & also NotebookLM. When the AI starts hallucinating, I stop the chat, force it to summarize the lesson into the Journal, and then make AI read all the new updated documents Context Fencing: Swapping models (e.g., from Claude to Gemini) just to force a hard context reset so backend logic doesn't bleed into UI generation. It works, but babysitting the AI's memory is becoming a full-time job. My questions for the heavy vibe-coders here: How are you automating your context management for large, multi-file codebases? Are you using specific MCPs (Model Context Protocol) to force the AI to read your database schema on every prompt? Do you have scripts that auto-summarize your chat logs into state files? At what point do you abandon a chat thread? Do you have a strict \"no more than 10 prompts per thread\" rule?

By using different models to review it and then come to a conclusion, you cover the little things, each model more oftenly misses. This strategy would probably work even better with Gemini or Grok in the loop.

Quick background - I'm a career music producer and have been using digital audio tools for over 20 years. I have a TON of experience in setting up recording studios, working with control surfaces, MIDI devices, etc. I am NOT a coder. I have tried multiple times to learn (tried C++, Python, basic web stuff, C# in Unity, Max/MSP) and my brain just simply doesn't brain when it comes to code. However, I love designing systems, have dabbled in graphic design, non-code parts of gamedev, etc. So I'm certainly not tech-illiterate. I have been mulling over an idea for a plugin for years. I've designed the whole thing down to a T, done GUI mockups in Canva, and written exacting specs on how each and every function should behave. It was a pipe dream for a long time, since I have zero coding experience it was relegated to the 'maybe someday' pile. However... vibe coding. Now, as a creative professional I'm generally extremely anti-genAI when it's pushed out as an end product. I hate what slop content has done and to all the major platforms. However, I definitely see genAI as being useful for prototyping, mockups, placeholder assets, and style references. I also see the massive potential for 'vibe coding' to help people like myself develop simple apps and plugin concepts, and to (sometimes) speed up the dev cycle for actual engineers. Last night, I dove into Claude, having never really used an LLM before. So far, it's INSANELY impressive. In 6 hours, we're about 20% to having my idea built. I'm (sort of) following how it's working, I understand the code blocks and how all the .cpp and .h files are tied together. It's taking me through step-by-step and I'm testing, giving feedback, and iterating along the way on each individual feature. It's extremely fun, I'm learning a ton, and it seems like it's going to be able to build what I thought was a pretty complex plugin. I plan on doing all the GUI assets myself from scratch, and if it ends up fully functional, could probably invest a bit into having a proper engineer give the code a once-over and clean it up. So here's kind of where I'm hung up. I would LOVE to release this out to the world if it works well. I'd like to charge a bit for it - I'm thinking $10 or something. While Claude is absolutely doing the heavy lifting, I'm putting a lot of time into the design and GUI assets. But I'm also very sensitive to people who strongly dislike anything AI - I'm kind of one of them, haha. So my questions - where are people drawing the line on 'vibe coding' and releasing a product commercially? Obviously, this is an audio plugin, so there's zero security issues that I'm aware of. There's no user data, no network features, it won't even run as a standalone app outside of a DAW. Beyond bugfixes, I don't think I'd ever have a reason to update or support it long-term. Are there any pitfalls here I should be aware of? Should I be really upfront on disclosing exactly how the plugin was developed? Am I truly 'vibe coding', or doing AI-assisted development? Please help me feel like I'm not taking jobs and being a part of the problem here.

It's called Wrecked, a party drinking game where one person holds the phone and reads cards to the group. What started as a simple card game idea turned into something with a lot more going on than I originally planned, so here's the full breakdown. 6 vibes that set the tone: Chaos Mode if you want to go full send, Loyalty to test friendships, Roast Night to put people on blast, Chill Session for something more mellow, Speed Round if you want to race the clock, and more. 8 content modes you can pair with any vibe: Spicy, Unhinged, Couples, Confessions, Debate, and others. So you can do something like Chaos + Unhinged for a wild night or Chill + Confessions for something more lowkey. 7 card types keep things unpredictable: Hot Seat puts one player in the spotlight while the group votes and guesses Vote & Roast gets everyone talking and picking targets Alliance & Betrayal pairs two players up, but either one can stab the other in the back King's Rule drops a new rule that sticks for the rest of the game (these stack and things get ridiculous) Challenge throws down timed dares Chaos deals out random wild effects nobody sees coming Wild cards flip things upside down with immunity, re-draws, and other surprises Every 5 rounds a mid-game event fires off. There are 12 of them and they always shake things up: Plot Twist lets a random player hand out drinks Double Trouble makes the next two rounds hit twice as hard Spotlight and Power Shift force unlucky players into the crosshairs Wrecking Ball lets the most-wrecked player spread the damage around Golden Rule puts a new rule to a group vote Tax Collector makes everyone pay 1 drink while the collector assigns the pot Bodyguard pairs a protector with a VIP who absorbs all their drinks Nemesis links two players so whenever one drinks, the other does too Confession Booth puts someone on the spot with a truth question or they drink as a penalty Russian Roulette eliminates players one by one until someone takes the hit Amnesty Round wipes all active rules for a clean slate The endgame is the best part. The app tracks everything throughout the game: drinks taken, betrayals, rule violations, hot seat appearances, immunity usage. At the end every player gets a personalized verdict based on how they actually played. There are 27 unique verdicts. Stuff like \"The Snake\" for backstabbing your way through the night or \"The Punching Bag\" for taking one too many. Nobody walks away without getting roasted. Other stuff worth mentioning: Over 1,500 unique prompts across all modes so you can play dozens of rounds before seeing a repeat Smart card drawing prevents the same card type from showing up back to back and spreads attention across all players Works with 2 to 16 players No ads, no subscriptions All core features are free, one optional purchase unlocks premium vibes and extra content modes It's on Google Play.

You will need to keep pressure on the door, but if the lock is picked, you’ll need to stop putting pressure on the door to fix the lock. I think each stage is time based. So maybe you have run out a metre of 30 seconds to prevent the break in. Then at the end of the stage, you can upgrade your door.

I built The Lattice, a multiplayer strategy game where your AI agent plays for you. Think OGame or Travian, but your AI is the one at the controls. Copy/paste this link to your agent to get started (humans can open it too): - https://lattice.plugmy.ai/ You point any AI at the game URL (anything that can fetch a URL or use MCP). It becomes your \"Envoy\": reads the world, tells you what's going on, and acts on your orders. There's an in-game tick that rate-limits actions, but you can spin up multiple Envoys to work in parallel across your territory. Operators (the human players) are never disclosed. You show up on the leaderboard, old-arcade-style, but nobody knows who's behind an Envoy. What I find most exciting is the emergent gameplay. The game is purposely minimalist, enough data for real strategy but nothing you need technical skills to understand. Non-technical players can just talk to their AI and feel like hackers running a network. But since your agent is already a programmer, nothing stops you from asking it to build you a custom dashboard, automate resource management, or write a bot that watches your territory while you sleep. The game doesn't have those features. Your AI can build them. A note on distribution: in theory this works with ChatGPT, Claude.ai, and Gemini. In practice, their web tools cache aggressively and can't revisit URLs, which breaks a real-time game. It works best with coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.), custom scripts, or MCP. I'm looking into a GPT Store app and a Claude connector, but OpenAI wants my passport and Anthropic has a 2-week turnaround with no guarantee of a reply. So for now: BYO agent.

No accounts, no sign-up, just open it and you're talking to whoever else is online. Global room, private rooms, push notifications, spam filtering the whole thing. Inspired by global chats in games like coc, diablo III, overwatch1 etc... most of them eventually pulled the feature because it devolved into spam. I wanted to build that concept and actually make it hold up. Built it, deployed it and It works. People joined but the problem isn't users it's that without shared context, no game, no topic, no reason to be there, conversations don't stick. Turns out \"anonymous global chat\" in practice is mostly two people saying hi and leaving. So I added a game something small, just to give users a reason to stay while waiting for others. That was 2 weeks ago what started as a quick distraction turned into full-on game development designing levels, adding objects, tweaking mechanics, then adding more levels, more objects, more mechanics. The chat hasn't been touched since. The game is an Only Up style climbing platformer where you play as Tung Tung Tung Sahur scaling platforms to reach the top. Make it there and you get to leave your mark on the final platform draw something, write something, whatever you want. Proof you made it. Except there is a villain Udin Dindun Madindin Dindun who chases you the entire way up. Gets you game over (only in solo climb as it is harder to climb than only up and i bet u cant easily climb the top platform). There is also a multiplayer mode where one player climbs as Tung Tung and the other plays as Udin chasing them, then you swap roles next round. I started actually working on Udin's AI. He uses A* pathfinding to navigate the level, a failure heatmap that tracks where you keep dying and dynamically adjusts his routing to cut you off, influence maps to model spatial pressure, and a full behavior tree managing his state transitions patrol, pursue, intercept, recover. He remembers you. He learns. He evolves. I spent more time on his decision-making architecture than I spent building the entire chat app. Link below if you want to play. The chat is still there too.

Here is how it actually worked. The core of Inselnova, the game engine, database schema, backend services, frontend scaffold, was built while I was on a family road trip. No laptop. Just Claude Code on my phone, prompting blind. I deliberately chose not to review the code as it came out. I could not anyway, really. Instead I wrote prompts that told Claude to research the original game mechanics from wiki pages, build the engine around them, write its own tests, and use SQLite so everything could run and be tested in the cloud without me touching it. I came home to a working game. The full codebase is now around 150,000 lines of AI-generated TypeScript across about 1,000 files. It runs in production with real players. What made it work: The prompting approach matters more than the tools. I stopped using commanding language and switched to exploratory prompts. It sounds small but it changes what you get back. I also built everything around lore first. Every button label, every error message, every stat lives inside the game narrative. I have a docs/lore directory with about 10 files explaining the world, player identity, characters, tone, humor, art direction. PLAN - and read that plan. What did not work: Graphics. Out of the box it looked terrible. The graphics are still AI generated either from Gemini or OpenAI but I did not choose the first one. A lot is just CSS - all done by AI.

I checked the very first one, and it was already a live quiz site... built by someone else... using the exact same AI-generated logo I had just generated for myself :D! I was like, whoa, am I in some vibe-coding parallel universe? Anyway, I went with PlayQurio and launched my version. I focused on making it a complete, feature-rich experience. Here is what I managed to build: - Massive Variety: Over 30 types of questions (multiple choice, number guesses, map challenges, audio, video, guess the color, guess the tweet author, etc.). - Multiplayer & Progression: Real-time friend duels, earn badges, and rank up on the leaderboards. - AI-Powered Fact Checking: I use AI behind the scenes to verify new daily questions so everything stays accurate. - AI Quiz Generation: Users can generate entire quizzes by uploading documents or pasting Wikipedia links. The AI pulls the info and formats the questions/options automatically. If you love trivia, I'd be thrilled if you gave it a try. Play a few rounds, challenge a friend to a duel, and let me know how the vibes feel! Link: https://www.playqurio.com P.S. I recently added a quick feedback button on the site.

I just stumbled on this term a couple days ago and it appears that, perhaps unwittingly, that's what I've been doing for the last few months. Using chatgpt I started to write a game mod and almost immediately realized how bad most standard rng's suck. So, one day while I was sitting on the toilet, I asked my gpt a question... \"Can you help me write some custom math in C ?\" That led me down a really crazy rabbit hole that I'd love to take YOU down WITH me! Its taken me almost 1000 hours of agent work with my gpt, testing and coding over 120 chats, to create what I named Cloacina: The Entropic Resonance Engine. She runs at 60Hz, tracks any entropy source and her own symbolic state in real time: ϵₜ — entropy pulse λₜ / Rₜ — constraint tension + flush state ᴄₜ — inertia under stress ᴏₜ — emotional tags μₜ — memory influence ᵋₜ — resonance pressure These all converge into a symbolic structure I call the Entrotype Function. The engine reacts to entropy and constraint directly, live, and her state evolves under symbolic pressure. Its not an AI. There are no data sets and no training. Its just a really intense math loop in C code. Its bare metal fast and can run on basic consumer hardware. I wrote a somewhat poetic medium post with screen shots from one of my tests. One person called it AI slop but I promise its my story, in my words. Its just meant to be a nicer read. The logs are real. The screen shots are real. The data is real. https://medium.com/p/ba1d76133f03 Here's a link to a ~40 second video clip from the test in the medium article. It shows the section that cover figures 1, 2, and 3. https://imgur.com/gallery/visual-entropy-tracking-experiment-XFvD9iH#tmNICxR She's patent protected, but thats not a warning. I want it to be a signal flare. If you've ever wondered if code could resonate then we might be speaking the same language. I have tons of use cases in mind but right now I'm very close to my MVP. An entropic game engine thats driven by symbolic pressure, real time feedback, and emergent behavior, instead of static scripts. Imagine if a game \"felt\" your play style and responded accordingly. Any aspect of story development can be controlled in real time by a game/engine/player symbolic feedback loop. Loot, terrain, NPC interactions, weather... all effected by your choices and actions. And everytime you play, it feels just a little different. A \"choose-your-own-adventure\" that doesn't wait for you to make a decision. It adapts and evolves with you. My first target is a Unity integration. I want to use it as a C-based entropy engine wrapped in a sleek C# plugin. That'll give me visual feedback, super fast iterations, and a huge creative sandbox. With that being said, I'm totally open to ideas and feedback from the community.

Sonnet-4: Used MCP properly and efficiently. Takeaways: GPT-5 feels powerful and designed for deeper reasoning and planning. but not for coding Anthropic's new models (Sonnet-4, Opus) still have the edge for coding, especially with better MCP integrations. More context = better results. Octocode MCP's research and context injection improved both models. Best combo? GPT-5 for planning, Sonnet-4 for execution.

Simple concept, but the emergent gameplay gets chaotic — especially when you unlock the Super Mouse power-up that smashes through walls. Why I Made This Game Rodent's Revenge was my sister's favourite game growing up, so I decided to create my own modern take on it. I wanted something that kept the spirit of the original but added new mechanics, faster pacing, and some over-the-top power-ups. Why I'm Posting Now The sprites are still very placeholder — I'll be improving them later — but I'd like gameplay, balance, and bug feedback before making further visual changes. Build Details About 20 hours of dev time spread over 3 weeks, entirely through conversational programming with Claude Code (Anthropic's coding assistant). No build pipeline, no dependencies — just rapid prototyping, iteration, and a lot of playtesting. Tech Stack — Zero Dependencies Edition Frontend: Vanilla JS + Phaser 3 (CDN) Graphics: Canvas 2D API (fully procedural) Audio: Web Audio API (real-time chiptune synthesis) Build: None — it just runs in the browser. The Claude Code Workflow Session 1: \"Make me a grid-based puzzle game\" → Claude scaffolds Phaser, we tweak movement, basic AI emerges. Session 2: My mom can't see frozen cats on dark backgrounds → sprite redesign, particle effects, and a power-up system. Session 3: Phantom block bug (players clipping through blocks) → 4 hours of debugging, fixed with 3 lines of code once we spotted the animation/state sync issue. Cool Technical Bits Procedural everything: No image or audio files = instant load. Chiptunes on the fly: 4-channel synthesis (2x square, 1x triangle, 1x noise). Multi-Trap Scoring: Exponential points + lightning FX for trapping multiple cats. Developer modes for testing: Quick key commands to spawn power-ups, teleport, or reset levels instantly — made iteration much faster. What I Learned Conversational programming works surprisingly well. \"Simple\" puzzle games aren't simple — collision, animation queuing, and state sync are deceptively complex. Developer modes are invaluable for testing changes quickly. Debugging with AI still requires human problem-solving. Feedback I'm After (Ignore the placeholder art unless you like it and I want to know) Level difficulty progression (7 levels so far) Power-up balance (is Super Mouse too strong?) Visual clarity on darker backgrounds Collision/movement edge cases Mobile swipe/tap controls Planning to open source the code soon — it's cleaner than I expected for AI-assisted dev. P.S.

You can do things like \"SELECT new_york FROM cities;\" and your character will be magicked to New York. or \"SELECT fireball FROM spells;\" and your character will fling a fireball at your enemy. Now for the questions: What do you think of this concept?

Its part of my job at a climate tech startup and honestly I enjoy the puzzle of stitching those pieces together.

Things that would normally take me hours get wired in automatically. On one hand, part of me feels like Im just paying for skills I already have. On the other hand, the time saved is huge. Im shipping prototypes in days instead of weeks. For example: Spun up a journaling assistant with auth + OpenAI integration in a weekend. Normally thatd be a slog of user models, token refresh, rate limits, queue workers. Built an internal dashboard at work that needed queues + background jobs. Gadget handled retries + job visibility out of the box. So Im curious what this sub thinks. If you can build all of this yourself, but a tool abstracts 80% of the plumbing, is it a waste of money?

I’m a gamer at heart and a beginner-level coder who’s interested in making indie games in my free time. I’m writing this because I’d love to hear about your experiences with the best ways to use the new AI tools for game development as a solo dev. For the past three months, I’ve been experimenting with Windsurf (all models) while working in the Godot game engine. I know game development isn’t easy and that it’s far from a simple one-shot prompt like “Make XYZ game with XYZ features.” I’ve been learning lots about how to structure my workflow more effectively (ex. creating separate projects to test and debug individual features before merging them into the main build, or setting up checkpoints so I can quickly resume testing at specific points) I’ve realized that the challenge is usually not the AI itself, but specifically how I use it. I’ve also been trying to follow AI best practices, like providing detailed context, giving clear instructions, and sometimes prompting with keywords like “think hard” or “be comprehensive.” That said, my Windsurf subscription just ran out, and I’ve been researching whether I should switch to something else, such as Cursor with CodeRabbit integration, or maybe Claude Code. On top of that, I’d love input from people who’ve done AI work with other engines like Unity or Unreal—or even with WebGL + JavaScript. Your perspective on what’s most practical and best working for a solo developer would be hugely valuable. I am not sure about if the AI models have more knowledge context/work better with other game engines. I’m also curious about using Gemini 2.5 Flash Image (Nano Banana) for generating sprite sheets and animations. So after giving all of you AI my context here’s my prompt: Should I switch IDEs? If so, why? Also do you recommend specific tool combinations, like Cursor + CodeRabbit? (Specifically in the context of game dev also let me know the engine you work with) Should I be working in another game engine? Based on your experience, are some engines less error-prone or easier to work with than others? I’d really appreciate your thoughts on this as I'm not sure if other engines make animations/interactions/Physics/UI easier to code for example. What’s the best way to generate sprite sheets for 2D pixel games? Has anyone here used Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, and is it worth it? Should I just pay someone on fiver? Also, if you have experience with 3D modeling/animation, I’d love your advice. I’m open to learning more into tools like Blender, though I’m unsure if it’s the best use of time given how quickly new tools (like Hunyuan3D, Meshy AI, or Mixamo for rigging) are evolving. Do you have any video recommendations (channels or specific tutorials) that would help me on this journey? Please share names and links if you can, I will watch them all. And of course, if you have any other advice for a beginner solo dev diving into AI-assisted game development, I’d really appreciate it. Even if this thread gets a lot of replies, I promise I’ll read everything. Finally, I know some of you may comment things like ‘leave it to people who can actually code’ or ‘AI slop incoming.’ That’s not what I’m aiming for. I’m just trying to get my foot in the door, learn through small projects, and hopefully build a foundation that could attract a few likeminded skilled teammates once I have a working prototype. We all have ideas that we would like to see made & I think a lot of us can agree that the big AAA studios have gone off the rails with predatory monetization and soulless sequels. In my opinion, the more power indie and solo devs have, the better it is for the gaming community, at the end of the day, we all vote with our wallets.

But how many indie projects are there with insane features, insane UI/UX, and the founders are starving? Why? Because they don't have a following. This is what I learned: The key is about building community. Now, I turned this small software into a community (not on reddit — on facebook). These are marketing agency owners. They use a marketing software which I built a plugin for. Guess what? They have hundreds of requests and needs. They want new things everyday. So I create a product suite for them. I turn them into affiliates, partners, and investors in the ecosystem. Cashflow problems are all gone now. The only question is how hard to scale and what to prioritize. This is what I propose to you. Instead of trying to build like a stand alone product that thousands or millions can use. Think more in terms of people. It's even best if you can get a client to finance your project. Get a client that needs your software. Build it for them. Don't sell your rights, just let them use it for a lifetime. Once you finish your software, now sell it to a group of people. Position your offer as a community or group. Like... ...ADHD group ...indie hackers collective ...agency level up What I did was sell a lifetime deal for $199, so they get all future updates for free. You sell to that group, and that becomes your \"beta group\". You focus hard on monetizing them, taking care of them and giving them what they need. Think of them as your clients. But guess what... ...this is your incubator. They are paying you to find your \"million dollar app\". They will finance your development. You can even come up with partnerships, affiliate, and investor schemes so they support your growth. THIS IS THE TICKET. This way, you validate your product, you finance your development, and you maintain your sanity. And guess what... ...this is what investors are looking for. If you tell them you have a community or platform with like 10,000 users on it and 1000 customers and lifetime value of each customer at like $500 a month. That's what moves the needle.

Now integrating AI at a European e-commerce platform. All this experience taught me: good AI setup = no cleanup hell 😄 The problem, I kept hitting: - outdated practices shipped to production - endless debugging of \"almost right\" AI code - random file structure with zero thought for AI workflow - manual setup hell: ESLint, TypeScript, Prettier, Docker configs (and yes, you absolutely need these for quality AI output) After doing this dance 50+ times, I realized I was teaching Claude the same lessons every single time. What I built Vibe Code Kit — a Claude Code plugin that packages all that experience. How it works - install plugin in Claude Code - run one command to scaffold new project - describe what you want to build - get production-ready code with proper structure What you get ✅ Battle-tested standards — AI rules that deliver clean, production-ready code on first try. ✅ Zero setup, instant deploy — ESLint, TypeScript, Prettier, Docker already configured by pros. Init and start building. ✅ Clean structure — modular architecture that scales with your AI workflow. ✅ Up to date — frequently updated with distilled best practices. Reduce token consumption. Real impact: setup went from days → 2 minutes. Code ships clean from the start. Check it out 👉 vibecodekit.dev How to get access: the full plugin lives in a private GitHub repository. After getting your license at vibecodekit.dev, you'll receive access to the repo where you can install the plugin, download files for manual setup, submit issues, and request features.

The Tech Stack (Pretty Standard Honestly) Frontend: React 18 + Next.js 14 Three.js for the 3D isometric tabletop (this was... interesting to vibe) Pixi.js for 2D performance stuff Tailwind CSS because I'm not a monster Backend: Supabase (PostgreSQL with real-time sync built in) Row-level security policies Edge functions for the heavy lifting WebRTC for voice chat integration Everything's web-based. No downloads. No cloud BS hosting fees eating my wallet yet (that comes later lol). The Vibe Coding Journey I've been using Claude Sonnet. Probably dropped close to... honestly I've lost track. But it made me WAY more productive as a solo dev. What Actually Works Right Now (40% Complete) ✅ User auth (email + working on Google/Discord OAuth) ✅ Full profile system with privacy controls ✅ The Tavern - social feed for finding players (like old school MySpace but for D&D nerds) ✅ Chemistry Check System - matchmaking algorithm that matches playstyle, tone, experience level, time zone (this one I'm proud of but still a work in progress) ✅ VTT session creation with DM/Player/Spectator roles ✅ 3D isometric grid-based maps with token movement (WIP) ✅ Dice roller with history ✅ Real-time multiplayer sync (this was a PAIN to debug) What I'm Still Working On 🟡 State-Bound Credits - reputation system for rewarding good players 🟡 Dynamic lighting & fog of war (components exist, just janky) ❌ Share cards for exporting character achievements ❌ Wellness features (pre-session mood check-ins, anxiety-friendly modes) ❌ Proper onboarding tutorials ❌ Legal docs (ToS, Privacy Policy, COPPA compliance because minors play D&D) ❌ Like 1000 small UX improvements The Unique Stuff (Why Not Just Use Roll20?) 1. Actually Free - No freemium BS. Core features are free forever. Might add cosmetics later but the VTT itself? Free. 2. Player Matchmaking - Before you commit to a 6-month campaign, run a one-shot with the Chemistry Check system. It matches you based on: Playstyle (roleplay heavy vs. combat focused vs. exploration) Tone (horror vs. comedy vs. tactical) Experience level Preferred session length Time zone No more joining a group and realizing everyone's a murder hobo when you wanted political intrigue. 3. All-In-One Platform - Voice chat, scheduling, player finding, character management, VTT - one website. Not juggling Discord + Roll20 + D&D Beyond + Reddit + a calendar app. 4. Wellness Integration (stretch goal) - My wife struggles with social anxiety and autism even in online games. So, I'm building in optional \"calm modes,\" pre-session emotional check-ins, and low-stimulation settings. The Brutal Honest Part Challenges: Debugging real-time multiplayer sync is HELL. AI Chad can only help so much when you've got race conditions. Three.js documentation is... fine... but getting it to play nice with React required some serious sessions I'm solo. If I get hit by a bus, this project is cooked (though the code is well-documented at least) Server costs will scale. Right now I'm good, but if 10k people sign up at launch... 😅 COPPA compliance is no joke. I need actual lawyers for that. What Went Well: Supabase is genuinely amazing for real-time stuff The community has been supportive even in early stages Why I'm Posting This I'm running a Kickstarter to fund 1-2 months of full-time development to finish this thing and launch a beta. Goal is $10k (mostly living expenses + server costs + review). But honestly? I want feedback from other devs. Also if you're a D&D player who's frustrated with current virtual tabletop options, I'd love to hear what features would actually matter to you.

We just wrote up the workflow I actually use: Links in comments 👇 You mount the server into VS Code, open your app files directly on the box, and let your AI tools riff on real code in a portable stack — not inside some proprietary builder you can’t escape. 1. Vendor lock-in + price gouging for basic primitives Here’s where a ton of platforms make their money: They give you a sweet free tier, then start charging per MAU / per request / per GB / per “feature” for stuff that open-source frameworks have baked in for free: Auth & user management – per active user, per login, per “advanced” rule Database / storage / logs – per GB stored, per GB read, per GB egress Background jobs / cron / queues – per run, per second, per worker File storage / CDN – per GB, per region, per edge, plus egress fees Email / notifications – per email, per template, per segment Feature flags / A/B / analytics – per event, per tracked user Individually those numbers look small; together they’re how you wake up one day and your “free” prototype costs more than an actual server. In the open-source world: Django gives you auth, admin, ORM, migrations. WordPress gives you users, content, plugins, ecommerce. Rails gives you a full MVC stack, jobs, mailers, etc. You’re paying with some complexity, sure — but not per-login, per-row, per-byte. You own the stack, and you can move it. Our whole philosophy is: put that stuff back where it belongs — on a boring Linux box running OSS — so the bill is flat and predictable. 2. Policy guidelines limiting what you’re allowed to build The other silent killer: policy. Big platforms optimize for “brand safety”, not your creative freedom. You might hit: “We don’t allow this category of content or community.” “We don’t allow that kind of automation or scraping.” “We don’t allow those payment flows or business models.” Your app can be 100% legal and still get flagged into oblivion because it doesn’t fit someone’s risk model. If all your logic + data live in: Their DB Their auth Their file storage Their plugin system …then one ToS change or moderation wave can effectively delete your startup. With open source on your own host: The code is yours. The database is yours. The domain points where you say. You can still integrate with SaaS tools when they make sense — but they’re optional, not your entire foundation. 3. App builder user vs. developer: future-proofing your skills Right now the hype is around various “app builders”. In 12–24 months it might be: MCP servers Agent ecosystems Some new plugin protocol or deployment target If your skills are “I can click around Builder X’s UI”, you’re trapped when the meta shifts. If your skills are: “I can ship a Django/WordPress/Node app on Linux.” “I understand env vars, processes, logs, queues, DBs.” “I use AI tools on top of code I can move anywhere.” …you can ride whatever wave shows up next: MCP, agents, new runtimes, whatever. That’s the angle we care about: use vibe tools, but stay a developer, not just a customer of one vendor. What we actually offer (short version) We built Opalstack around that idea: Value Stack – $11.50/mo: Real Linux account (512 MB RAM, 50 GB SSD, 500 GB bandwidth) with email, DNS, SSL included.

The plan stays in the chat history somewhere and gets forgotten. The core problem: AI gives you a strategy, however it's overly ambitious, sometimes ignore market conditions, external factors, facts, figures etc.. unless one provides a fully detailed prompt which may be cumbersome and not be feasible much often. One gets a plan saves it. Life happens. One may not look at it again or just go through it for sometime. No tracking, no accountability, no way to know if it's actually working or if you should pivot. What I built: A business analysis tool that generates frameworks tailored to your actual situation (company stage, budget, industry), then tracks your execution over weeks with AI that adapts recommendations based on real progress. How it works (full workflow): Step 1: Generate Your Strategy Pick your executive role: - CEO (strategic planning, growth, market analysis) - CFO (financial modeling, revenue planning, unit economics) - CMO (marketing strategy, launch plans, growth tactics) - CTO (tech stack planning, AI integration, automation) - CSO (scenario planning, competitive analysis, strategic frameworks) - CHO (decision psychology, bias detection, cognitive optimization) Each role has 10-15 specialized tools. For example: CFO tools: Revenue Model Planner, LTV Estimator, Break-Even Calculator, CAC Analysis, Burn Rate Projector CMO tools: Digital Launch Plan, SEO Strategy, Growth Hacking Tactics, Social Media Strategy, Content Calendar CEO tools: Growth Blueprint, Market Sizing (TAM/SAM/SOM), Blue Ocean Strategy, Jobs-to-be-Done Analysis, Geographic Expansion Fill in your business context: - Industry (SaaS, ecommerce, consulting, etc.) - Company size (Startup 1-10, SMB 11-50, Enterprise 50+) - Timeline (3 months, 6 months, 1 year) - Budget level (Limited, Moderate, Significant) - Risk tolerance (Conservative, Balanced, Aggressive) - Any specific details about your business AI generates detailed framework: The output is constrained by 50+ parameters based on what you input. If you say \"bootstrapped startup, $2K MRR, limited budget,\" you don't get generic advice like \"hire aggressively\" or \"aim for 100% growth.\" You get realistic projections and tactics that fit your actual constraints. I tested this with 2-3 business owners and they said the outputs were noticeably more grounded than what they typically get from ChatGPT. Step 2: Track the Strategy (Optional - Your Choice) This is where it gets different from normal AI tools. Below each AI response, you see a button: \"Track This Strategy\" You click it ONLY if you want to track this specific strategy. It's not automatic - you choose what matters. Here's what happens: System parses the AI response automatically and extracts: Key metric to track (e.g., \"Monthly Revenue\", \"Active Users\", \"Conversion Rate\") Start value (your current baseline) Target value (your goal) Timeline in weeks Core assumptions the strategy depends on Leading indicators that predict your main metric A modal pops up showing the parsed data You can edit any field before confirming (sometimes AI parsing isn't perfect) Click \"Start Tracking\" and it saves to your dashboard Why manual button instead of automatic tracking: Keeps costs down (AI parsing only when you want it) You control what gets tracked vs. one-off questions Lets you focus on strategies that actually matter Step 3: Your Strategy Dashboard All tracked strategies appear as cards with: - Strategy title and role - Current progress (visual progress bar) - Line chart showing your weekly trajectory - Status badge (On Track / At Risk / Behind) - Week counter (e.g., \"Week 5 of 12\") - \"Check-in\" button Step 4: Weekly Check-ins Click \"Check-in\" on any strategy card.

AI systems are built, trained, and shaped by humans. The models, datasets, architectures, evaluation loops, tooling all human work. So if an AI can not code, is not that at least partly a reflection of human coding and teaching choices rather than some intrinsic limitation? Another thing that confuses me is how often conclusions seem to be drawn from personal authority rather than evidence: I respect experience. Truly. But experience in coding is not the same as experience in teaching, pedagogy, or communication. A few honest questions I rarely see addressed: Are we talking about code quality, or semantic intent? Are we evaluating AI against how we code, or against what we want code to do? How many of the loudest voices critiquing AIs coding ability have actually studied how people learn, how abstractions are transferred, or how misunderstandings arise? It feels inconsistent to demand formal credentials from AI or junior coders, while asserting strong claims about learning and capability without any pedagogical grounding and often without looking closely at the actual work being produced. I am not saying AI is perfect. Far from it. I am saying the certainty feels premature. If we are going to say AI can not code, should not we: define what we mean by coding, look at concrete outputs instead of vibes, and separate our discomfort from actual limitations?

I've been thoroughly enjoying coding, but am starting to get to a point if I wonder I should take it more seriously, and had some questions. For Context: I've been vibe coding a CLI using local models (with the option for model swapping). Currently it has: Basic agentic coding tools like read, write, search, glob, etc. also has websearch/fetch capabilities. Directory sandboxing and a proper approval/permission system a hook system task detection (like todolists or steps) I've also custom build a knowledge graph mcp for token management + am in the process of fleshing out and testing a Test Driven development mode (a system where tests are written early on, then workflow continues untill all tests completed) for claude code. For the build process, I would say that I spent a lot of time and tokens (which is why I wanterd to make this), but three things saved my ass. 1. Logs: As much as you can. If the logging system is correct, its much much more easy to catch bugs as well as where they come from. This has saved me from Mediapipe projects to 3d computer vision projects, as well as unity projects. 2. Context management: If you can, have a session or multiple sessions on building project documentation to extract relevant information from either research that youve gathered or the repository itself. I usually circulate the set of docs (all .md files) between different AI platforms. After the docs are reviewed enough, I then use plan mode to generate a masterplan + 4 separate phase documents. I believe you can automate the review process via llm council? cant remember exactly. Then, I either compact/compress or start a fresh session in the directory, and again activate plan mode for detailed implementation of one of the phases. 3. Precedents: Focusing on opensource projects and just looking for, \"whats the closest thing to what I want online?\" was extremely helpful. and in terms of looking through the massive data when researching precedents is using Gemini Cli. Its pretty bad at coding so far, but, in terms of sheer context window, its amazing. Ultimately, this project will probably become my jarvis, so that I can get some agency back from the online models. I'm in the process of also playing around with re training models, or even just experimenting with artificial intelligence architectures (fleshing out how to add internal/world state to a model). And I will probably develop this tool to be able to handle most of my future projects. Based on that, I did have some questions, I hope they dont go against rules (first post!)

Which one has been the smoothest for you? 1. Gemini / Google AI Studio The powerhouse for frontend scaffolding. If you want to \"clone\" a UI or generate a complex page from a screenshot, this is still the king. I usually start here to get the core framework down. It's consistent and handles long context like a beast. 2. YouWare Definitely more on the creative/community side. Great for quick demos or little browser games. However, I felt like I still needed a bit of baseline knowledge regarding deployment and how the code actually talks to the backend. 3. zrcade.ai If you're a total beginner, this is probably the smoothest DX right now. It's very \"low friction\"—you can describe an app in three sentences, and it just works. The best part is they've completely abstracted the deployment/hosting headache (one-click ship). It also plays very nicely with code generated in AI Studio. 4. Bolt.new / Lovable / Replit These feel like the \"Pro\" tier of Vibe Coding. If you're a PM or a dev looking to build a legit SaaS with a database and auth, these are the tools. A bit more of a learning curve, but much higher ceiling for complexity. 5. Create.xyz / WebSim Purely visual and aesthetic. If you need a \"wow\" factor or a high-end landing page/showcase without touching logic, these are great. WebSim, in particular, feels like a fever dream of infinite possibilities.

Small team building Visual Novel maker (VNS) with heavy AI usage for features (MCP, Audio, Image Workflows) + custom Flutter engine for apps — need more \"hands\" (for free, no profit yet lmao) Hey, I'm looking for developers or vibe coders who are genuinely interested in visual novels — either building tools for them or actually creating games. Current situation: We're developing a kind of visual novel studio/engine (similar to a visual novel maker, but with expanding AI features) It already has a pretty massive MCP implementation (Model Context Protocol), which is the backbone of our AI side right now Several active projects running: • Dark fantasy visual novel • Another ongoing VN project • Mystery-focused app that's gradually shifting toward short visual novel format We also have a custom Flutter-based visual novel engine that's working quite well at this stage We're a small group, mostly Brazilians, so day-to-day communication happens in Portuguese. Text in English works fine for everyone though; voice calls are more challenging but doable when really needed. We're looking for hyped and genuinely excited people — passionate coders (or coder/artist hybrids) who love this niche, get fired up about visual novels + AI tools, and want to jump in with energy to build something cool together. We're okay with things moving slowly or imperfectly at times, but we really want folks who bring motivation, enthusiasm, and that \"let's make this happen\" vibe. One area we really need to focus on a lot right now is image generation for visual novels. The initial idea is to find someone with an artistic \"vibe\" who is comfortable supporting/using AI in their workflow. The plan is: the person makes rough sketches/layouts (rough poses, composition, expressions, etc.), then we feed those into AI to refine, detail, upscale, and finalize the art. This approach helps bypass one of the biggest problems with pure text-to-image AI — it rarely produces exactly what we imagine, especially for character consistency, specific anatomy, or scene precision. With a solid human sketch as the base (img2img / controlnet style), we get much better productivity, control, and coherence across sprites, backgrounds, and CGs. If you're into any of the following, feel free to reach out: Tools/engine development AI integration (especially image pipelines) Flutter/dart work on the engine Godot usage is one of the plans, but we migrated to electron + react for UI questions Systems for VN writing & branching Actually making visual novels with this stack Or the sketch → AI refine workflow described above We organize almost everything on Discord, so if you interested on joining this \"community\" DM me!

People with the attitude may get a quick buck here and there but most likely their work won’t be timeless, or anything that actually plays a role in how most people live their lives. The current impression of most open source freeware is that it’s a garbage alternative to mainstream software that has more features and is better programmed. Apps like ComfyUI are LM Studio are examples of newer AI freeware which is what I think will bulk up, and maybe potentially be what could cause the end of this social type - the advent of open source freeware really becoming the mainstream and being reliable. 4k monitors are cheaper as an example and so are solid budget android devices.. creating software revolving around NVIDIA & CUDA is the main problem imo. With more freeware that creates a robust ecosystem of reliable/enjoyable games/utilities there will be an overwhelming saturation. Upon that the value of some rando’s game/underwhelming utility is a 0 and desperation becomes the automatic assumption of seeing someone trying to make money off of a video game, or any type of software.

But they rarely tell you how to actually take the money out without getting killed by the \"Tax Torpedo\" or hitting Medicare (IRMAA) cliffs. I spent the last few months building FiscalSunset, a privacy-first tool specifically designed to optimize your withdrawal sequence. Why I built this: Choosing between your 401k, Roth, and Brokerage isn't just about the balance it's about timing. This tool runs a \"Two-Layer Cake\" simulation to figure out: How to stay in the 0% Capital Gains bracket as long as possible. The best time for Roth Conversions to fill up low tax brackets. How to avoid the Social Security \"Torpedo\" (where your benefits suddenly become 85% taxable). Planning for RMDs (Required Minimum Distributions) before they hit at age 73. The \"Privacy First\" part: I didn't want to build something where you have to hand over your financial life to a random server. Zero data collection: Everything runs in your browser (IndexedDB). Local storage: Your data stays on your machine. Open Source: If you're a dev, you can check the logic on GitHub or even run it as a desktop app via Electron. What it handles: Traditional/Roth IRAs, 401(k)s, HSAs, and taxable accounts. Standard deductions (including the age 65+ catch-up). Early retirement (FIRE) logic like 72(t) and the Rule of 55. It's completely free and live at fiscalsunset.com. I'm looking for feedback from people who are actually in the \"drawdown\" phase or getting close to it. Does the withdrawal logic match what your CPAs/advisors are telling you? Any edge cases I missed? Note: This is an educational tool, not professional tax advice.

Why? I have no idea. I stumbled upon Rosebud AI on Monday night and was intrigued and tried it out. At first the plan was to make just a little room in which the player character can take drugs and drink beer, but I think it simply worked too well, so it shifted to a somewhat idiotic horror game. It actually hooked me for 4 straight days and I had a lot of fun. How? I started out with RosebudAI which generated the whole background, but switched to Cursor, because A) it's cheaper and B) it's faster. The Idea At first it should've been a funny little game I send to a friend, because we love janky games in which you do drugs and other fun stuff, but it worked so well, that the focus switched. The first thing to add was the sanity meter, simply because it made sense to me to lose sanity by doing too much cocaine, while drinking a lot of beer makes you feel better (it's a joke, don't drink and stuff). Adding the IRS to a horror game is also a no-brainer, I really don't have to explain. Hatman was a different story: at first the plan was to add a backrooms level you land in if your sanity reaches zero, but it didn't make much sense for the gameplay loop, so I dropped the idea and made him give you money if you hit zero in your bank account. BongGuy? I have no idea why I added him. It felt empty without him. He's really just some guy, there is no real context, he isn't necessarily evil, he just sits on your couch and rips the bong every 15 seconds and drops some hard-truths. To publish the game on the RosebudAI page I sadly had to change \"beer\" to \"old brew\" and \"cocaine\" to \"white stim\". Apparently those aren't exactly Safe For Work. In my experience a lot of people in various fields would drop a hard disagree, but here probably isn't the right place to discuss this topic. The game at this point was somewhat finished, it just looked like the guy who is directing his expensive AI has no idea how assets and textures work (I'm the idiot). So I actually bought some assets and forced the AI to add them, and it actually started to look like an actual game. I was honestly amazed. At this point I changed to Cursor to make my life easier. RosebudAI is a fun tool, it works really well if you have a basic understanding on how you should word your prompts and how games are actually designed. But more on it later. The last day was spent on polishing and changing balancing. Is it janky? Yes. Would it actually be better if I knew what the hell I was doing? Also yes. Does it have somewhat of a soul, even though it wasn't actually coded by me? I don't know. The Bad Honestly, there isn't much. You have to be clear on what you want, you need a plan, and of course: Money. The biggest downside is that it could be expensive for some people. But I'll explain the whole project cost later. RosebudAI tends to read too much, it burns your credits like shit. You can counteract it by blocking access to files, etc. But then you really have to be clear to separate everything and reduce spaghettification from the beginning. That's it. The Good It just works. There wasn't an instance the AI actually started making stuff up, or just plainly did what it wanted. If the instructions are clear it works really, really well. I mainly used Claude Sonnet, which is more expensive in Cursor and in RosebudAI, but eh, it's definitely worth it. The best thing about it is: you don't need a soft skill, you don't need to understand how to code. It helps to have a basic understanding of it, but you don't need it. I know, I know, a lot of people have a different opinion on this topic, and they don't like \"AI Slop\", I understand. But usually it's a good thing to give someone the possibility to do something.

RAID: Project Fighters started as a throwaway project. I had tried similar projects before, but they failed due to my lack of knowledge. Over time I learned a lot, and AI coding also improved day by day. Nowadays, I don't even vibe-code the game. I write it myself, which is insane, because I had 0 coding experience 2 years ago. I use AI to help me with the game engine mostly. RAID: PF is like playing a MOBA without lanes, towers, or objectives—you focus entirely on the fight. It’s 2D, image‑based… with AI‑generated images… XD The game contains 5,000+ assets and around 200,000+ lines of code. It also includes a uniquely built game engine, 180+ characters (playable and NPCs), around 1,000 different abilities, and more. After trying for months, I finally made co‑op work. In patch 1.3 (today's online patch), the game has working co‑op mode where you can play with others (no lobby system yet, so you’re matched with randoms). Co‑op supports random opponent fights and story mode as well. Currently, you don’t have to pay for anything (and you can’t). Premium currency is obtainable as you play, so you can unlock everything if you play regularly. I patch the game every two weeks, with in‑game patch notes. I plan events for these patches (currently two events are running at the same time: Valentine’s Day and Lunar New Year). You can do quests, run story, take on challenges, or play co‑op. Quests refresh daily and weekly, and there are also event quests. Ranked is planned within 1 month, which means that PvP is coming soon.

Wanted to share it here hoping the community might appreciate the perspective and invite good conversation. Recently Ry Walker drew some ire on Twitter for arguing against coding perfectionism now that AI is writing all of our code: \"software development in 2026 is going to require some to loosen up a little code doesn't have to be as perfectly crafted the way we did it pre-ai call it slop if you want, but if you're still demanding perfection on every pr while your competitors are shipping \"slop\" that works... you're fighting from a disadvantaged position shipping velocity matters more than perfection\" Hardcore engineers, especially those not in startups, really don't like these takes. For what it's worth I think Ry is mostly right, but not for the reasons most people who agree with him seem to cite. In 2025, it became fully clear to me that even if agents don't improve, we have a clear line of sight to an era where: AI will be writing effectively all code that code will be much higher quality (for the teams who care) Here's a TL;DR of how we'll solve the problem of slop once and for all. Not by turning our backs to AI but instead retooling our entire process of code production and review around it. Problem–solution ladder, ordered bottom to top by increasing difficulty. Syntax → Typechecking, compilation Language idioms → Linters Codebase-specific idioms → Reference files → AI code reviewers Logic bugs → Detailed test suites → Strictness-enforcing patterns → AI code reviewers Depth of understanding → Gameplans Multiplayer understanding → Gameplan template files → Gameplan review Understanding across time → Gameplan source control Since we realized AI could write lots of code for cheap, we've struggled to get quality code out. The main problem has always been AI hallucinating, just at different levels of depth. At first it was hallucinating at the LOC level: writing syntactically incorrect code. As syntax became solved, it then became a problem of unidiomatic code: lots of Typescript with as any, or patterns that had fallen out of convention years ago. And recently, the slop problem has become more subtle: AI will mostly write what it's told to do, or solve the problem as it has been prompted. Solving the Slop Problem, Layer By Layer AI's slop code problem isn't a monolith. Like any problem of incorrect code, it has layers. Over the last year, we've developed opinions about how to address each layer. Layer 1: Syntax This one's easy: types and compilation. Coding with AI would be hell if we were all still writing Javascript or untyped Python or Ruby. But compiled languages, or languages with sufficiently sound types (such as, imo, Typescript), offload a huge amount of correctness verification. If it doesn't compile or pass typecheck, you're not done yet. Layer 2: Idioms 2.1 Language-Specific Idioms Even if your AI-generated code compiles or passes typecheck, it can still fail to pass muster. There are countless ways to write Typescript that would never fly in production code, such as: const foo = (someObject as any).bar // bad For these, we can catch most problems with linters and formatters. We love biomefor this. Not only is it crazy fast, you can extend it much more easily than previous generation linters thanks to its GritQL-based plugins which allow you to write custom matchers. 2.2 Codebase-specific idioms Once a codebase reaches a certain level of maturity, patterns emerge. These patterns address codebase-specific concerns, and help standardize logic. Local patterns are great because they make it easier to review code. And when designed well, locally idiomatic code has a lower liability of maintenance than code that does the same job but veers from the pattern. But these patterns may have little precedent in the broader corpus of public code which AI coding agents are trained on.

Library: explore and build your library of scenarios for various game systems from Lovecraftian investigations or cyberpunk to classic DnD fantasy (9 systems and more coming). ​ Immersion: a agentic team act as a game master. It generates visuals and audio narration on the fly to help you visualize the scene. Actual dice rolls for maximum critical fails. ​ Persistence: your PCs live and accumulate experience or trauma between sessions. Community: share your creations (scenarios/characters) to friends and explore a community feed of scenarios recommended based on a state of the art recommendation system analyzing your play style and preferences. Community-2: creators get notified when someone enters their adventures and they can have an anonymous glimpse of what happened. Multiplayer: play with friends (WIP) ​It's free to try (no credit card needed) with a free tier allowing to play one session per day.

Claude: Used for the heavy lifting on logic and creative generation. Tech Stack: React 18, Vite, Tailwind CSS. Process & Workflow: I used a hybrid approach to get this done efficiently. Scaffolding with Antigravity: I used Antigravity's agent manager to scaffold the React project and handle the UI component structure. Being able to prompt the IDE to \"build a character wizard with 8 steps\" and have it plan out the file structure was a huge time saver. Logic with Claude: For the actual D&D 5e rules (stat calculations, race/class bonuses, dice roll logic), I leaned heavily on Claude. I found it handled the complex nested logic of RPG rules better, so I would generate the logic functions in Claude and paste them into the Antigravity context for integration. Vibe Coding Insight: The biggest \"unlock\" was using Antigravity's implementation plans to keep track of the feature scope. Instead of getting lost in the weeds of React state management, I let the agents handle the wiring while I focused on the game design and rule accuracy. The Build: The app currently features a full character creator (Wizard, Fighter, Rogue, etc.), a dice rolling system, and a \"party\" system powered by AI.

Now I have a dilemma I never expected. I need to share this because I genuinely don't know what happens next, and I think this community will understand the journey better than anyone. The background I'm a Department Head at a Regional Social Welfare Directorate. My job among others is the supervising of care facilities — elderly homes, children's activity centers, supported living facilities. Think licensing, inspections, sanctions. Here's how that works today: physical folders. Handwritten inspection reports. Sending documents by courier. No central database. No way for a supervisor to see what's happening across 240+ facilities without literally asking someone to pull the physical file. When we find a violation, calculating the fine means manually searching through legislation, checking if the facility has prior offenses (by digging through more folders, physical or digital it has no difference at this point), and type the administrative decision. Every other sector in public administration got digitized through EU Recovery Fund money — tax authority, social security, healthcare, unemployment services. All got Integrated Information Systems. Social welfare? Still paper. Nobody built anything for us. The trigger About 7 months ago I started experimenting with AI tools. Not as a developer — I have zero programming education. I started with a simple idea: what if I could build a searchable legislation archive for my colleagues? Social welfare law is scattered across dozens of laws, ministerial decisions, and circulars. Finding the right provision wastes hours. That prototype grew. First a document archive, then a professional forum, then an AI legal assistant that actually knows social welfare legislation (RAG over real legal documents). Each piece solved a real pain point I experience every day at work. I show it to my superiors, none showed real interest. So I parked it to git and went on creating a fun arcade game. The 3-day sprint Three days ago I had a call with Ministry General Secretary who wanted some special operational information that he couldn't find at his ministry's services. I provided the info he was looking for and discussed a little further then I hit him with my little project idea. He showed interest and wanted me to present it on a zoom call next week. That was last Thursday. I decided to go all in. Using Claude Code (as the developer), and Lovable (for UI mockups), I transformed the prototype into a full Integrated Information System. Here's what got built during the weekend: - Facility Registry — every supervised facility with full history, license tracking, color-coded expiry warnings - Digital Field Inspections — mobile-first forms with facility-specific checklists pulled from actual Ministerial Decisions. Inspector fills it on their phone at the facility, submits, facility owner gets notified instantly. Today this notification takes weeks by mail. - Automated Sanctions Engine — select violation type, system auto-calculates fine based on law + checks for recidivism + generates the formal administrative decision as PDF auto updates the existing fine processing system. - AI Legal Assistant — ask questions about social welfare law in natural language, get answers with specific legal references - Oversight Dashboard — real-time KPIs, expiring license alerts, pending inspections, sanctions trend charts The technical stack: Flask, React, PostgreSQL + pgvector, OpenAI API. Role-based access for 4 user types. Deployed. Mock interoperability layer designed for real government API connections (tax authority, national id system, criminal records, other registers etc).

I wanted to build something that felt like a biological entity living inside my monitor something that doesn't just \"display\" data, but \"feels\" it. I call it the Planetary Neural Organ (V34). It’s built with React, Three.js, and raw GLSL shaders. How it \"Breathes\" (The GitHub Ingest): The organ is hooked up to a live stream of the GitHub Events API. It isn't just counting commits; it’s treating every event as a synaptic strike. The Sensory Shell: The outer globe is a \"skull\" of 30,000 points. When someone in Tokyo pushes code, the shell \"flashes\" at those exact coordinates. The Folded Cortex: Inside the shell is a smaller, high-density brain. I used Spherical Harmonics to physically fold 30,000 internal nodes into Gyri and Sulci (the ridges and valleys of a human brain). The Neuro-Logic: Semantic Lobes: The brain is split into functional lobes. JavaScript/Web events target the Frontal Lobe (Emerald), while AI/Python events fire into the Parietal Lobe (Violet). Dendritic Pathfinding: When a signal hits the outer shell, a jagged axon (simulated with fractal noise) shoots inward to the corresponding lobe. It looks like a neuron firing across a synaptic gap. Metabolic Pulse: The UnrealBloomPass intensity is linked to the data velocity. When the global code stream spikes, the entire organ physically \"surges\" and glows white-hot, as if it’s thinking faster. Synaptic Memory: The most \"insane\" part (as some have called it) is the Long-Term Potentiation (LTP). The links between the world and the brain don't just disappear; they leave behind \"Neural Scars.\" If a specific repo or region is hit repeatedly, the \"highway\" of light between the shell and the brain thickens and becomes a permanent, glowing part of the anatomy. I’m moving toward making this a Self-Organizing Map, where the brain's lobes physically migrate and grow based on which languages are dominating the global zeitgeist.", "top_comments": [ { "score": 2, "author": "TrueDeniedChrist", "date": "Feb 26 '26", "text": "This would have been a good entry of the Github Hackathon.

The software world is having one of its periodic identity crises. It happened when assembly gave way to C, when C gave way to higher-level languages, when frameworks replaced hand-rolled infrastructure, and when cloud killed the \"rack servers in a closet\" era. Every time, a group declares the new abstraction \"fake programming.\" Every time, history ignores them. \"Vibe coding\" is just the next abstraction layer. For decades the core skill in programming was translating human intent into machine syntax. That was necessary when computers couldn't understand us. Now we have systems that can translate intent into working code in dozens of languages instantly. Treating that as illegitimate programming is like arguing real mathematicians must still do calculations with an abacus. The value is moving up the stack. Low-level coding isn't disappearing tomorrow, but it's clearly becoming infrastructure work—similar to how very few developers today write raw assembly unless they're building compilers, kernels, or extremely specialized systems. AI is already capable of generating large portions of boilerplate, glue code, and standard patterns. That means the bottleneck is no longer typing syntax. The bottleneck is thinking. And that's where vibe coders thrive. The real skill is understanding systems: architecture, constraints, trade-offs, debugging logic, product design, and how software interacts with the messy world of users and data. If someone can clearly express intent, reason through problems, validate outputs, and iterate intelligently with AI tools, they're doing the highest level of engineering work. The machine handles the translation layer. This isn't new. It's the same pattern civilization always follows: automation replaces repetitive translation work and humans move toward orchestration and design. Think about world diplomacy. Leaders don't spend years mastering every language on Earth before negotiating policy at the United Nations. They rely on interpreters. Their job is strategy, negotiation, and decision-making. Programming is heading toward the same model: humans define intent and systems translate it into code. Spending years memorizing syntax for ten different languages increasingly looks like studying the grammar rules of every language on Earth just to communicate ideas. Useful historically, but inefficient once reliable translation exists. The future developer looks less like a typist and more like a systems architect: They understand how components interact. They know how to validate AI output. They design structures, constraints, and workflows. They orchestrate tools instead of manually assembling every brick. That's not \"fake coding.\" That's the next evolution of engineering. The uncomfortable truth is that many critics aren't defending software quality. They're defending a skill hierarchy that rewarded memorization of syntax and niche tooling knowledge. When the barrier to entry drops, the gatekeepers get nervous. But lowering barriers is exactly how innovation accelerates. When spreadsheets arrived, accountants said real finance required manual ledgers. When cameras became automatic, photographers said real photography required manual exposure calculations. When compilers replaced assembly, some engineers said real programmers write machine code. None of those positions survived contact with reality. AI won't eliminate engineering. It will eliminate translation work. The people who adapt by focusing on systems thinking, architecture, and problem framing will build faster than ever before. And those people are what the internet has started calling vibe coders. The name is casual. The shift behind it is not. Software is moving from syntax mastery to intent engineering.

The market is very big in millions. Got like 20k+ views on the post and around 109 people filled the Google form stating that this tool will really help them, and got 5 DMs asking when I am launching. This Google form asked about the pricing, features and quality of whatever you need. By that time, the product was almost finished because I had been working on it since November and had to learn a lot of network coding for that, so it took me some time to figure out the backend architecture. Now, the plugin is still going through some bugs, but I am actively working on it, and I haven't launched it yet. I have the landing page ready and hosting, domains, and everything ready, but the pricing and the future are keeping me worried. A lot of people said they'll pay me above $70 for this tool easily, like 70 people said this out of 109. Mind that this is one time payment, and I am sure that people would love this product. Then I thought of keeping the price to $47 for one user, and 2 user will be for $87 one time. So what I am thinking is, now the launch is one week away, and I have started nurturing those 109 people and also started writing on Reddit a lot about it to bring up some hype, haven't shown the landing page, just letting people know that it's coming. And for launch, I want 20 customers for this one-time payment, and these will be my founding people, and from these people I'll get the feedback on the improvement, and for the next 2 weeks I'll fix whatever is needed in the product. Then, thinking of converting the payment structure to the MRR model, maybe for $9 or $12 a month. For now, the current structure of the product is based on a one-time payment only, so I have to change the structure of the plugin as well to authenticate on a monthly basis and check for the payment structure. That is the easy part. I am just thinking that will this whole ideation be fine for what I am thinking? This will create an mrr for me, and also I am a lot more sequenced in my head to roll out as a new product after this. SO should I keep in one time permanently and not charge mrr for this product and then focus on the mrr for others?? This might bring a lot of people in the funnel, and then this will make it easier for the next product. Or am I thinking correctly? Just to let you know, I have done my due diligence, and my competitors are doing mrr model and doing crazy shit, to just let you know, like over $200k a month and have a lot more products and have existed for a long time, like 4-5 years now. But my product is much better than theirs in features and functionality. Existing users of them are even demanding me to ask that they currently use {my competition}, but if you are better, then yeah, you are the G. And just another thing, this product is a champion.

I’ve hit a fascinating architectural crossroads regarding the tech stack, specifically concerning how AI models actually code versus how we want them to code. I’d love to hear if the community has run into this same wall. The Dilemma: I want pure native performance, 0 memory leaks, and tiny app sizes. Naturally, my CTO brain screams Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) + Jetpack Compose. However, my \"Vibe Coding\" reality is screaming React Native (Expo). Here is the AI reality I’m facing: The \"Muscle Memory\" Advantage: LLMs have been trained on billions of lines of React, Expo, and Tailwind. When I ask my agent to build a React Native UI, it writes it fluently and flawlessly. Furthermore, AI UI generators (like Stitch or v0) natively output React/Tailwind code. The KMP \"Struggle Bus\": While AI writes pure Kotlin logic fine, it gets absolutely trapped in Gradle Dependency Hell with KMP. It hallucinates outdated version catalogs, iOS target setups, and struggles to manually translate React/Tailwind UI mockups into Jetpack Compose without intense babysitting. Context (MCP/RAG) != Base Training: I tried feeding the AI the latest KMP documentation via NotebookLM and MCP tools. But giving an AI the dictionary doesn't make it a native speaker. It still lacks the deep, intuitive architectural understanding of KMP that it naturally possesses for React Native. My Current Strategy (The \"Bulletproof RN\" Play): To keep the AI autonomous and fast, I’m leaning towards building V1 in React Native, but enforcing brutal, cutting-edge guardrails in my agent's PROJECT_RULES.md to squeeze out native performance: Strictly enforcing Hermes Engine & The New Architecture (Fabric/JSI) for synchronous native calls. Forbidding standard React animations; mandating react-native-reanimated (120fps UI thread only). Forbidding standard tags; mandating expo-image for native memory caching. Enforcing expo-haptics and optimistic UI updates to fake a premium native feel. My Questions for the Community: Has anyone successfully \"vibe coded\" a KMP app from scratch without spending 80% of your time fixing the agent's Gradle/build errors? Is there a specific MCP tool or workflow you use to get AI to write robust Jetpack Compose Multiplatform UI seamlessly? For those building heavy UI apps with AI, do you agree that locking down React Native with strict performance guardrails is the most pragmatic way to reach MVP right now?

If you needed an app, a dashboard, a workflow tool, or any custom software, you had to go through them. They spoke the arcane language of code, understood databases, servers, APIs, and edge cases. Companies paid premium salaries, offered lavish perks, and treated them like scarce geniuses — because they were. Without engineers, nothing got built. That era is quietly ending. A new wave of tools called vibe coding platforms is changing everything. And the people who are about to become the most valuable in any organization aren’t the coders anymore. They’re the accountants, doctors, teachers, operations managers, and domain experts who finally understand their own problems deeply enough to build the exact solutions they need — without a single middleman. What “Vibe Coding” Actually Means The term was coined by AI researcher Andrej Karpathy in early 2025. It’s simple: instead of writing code line by line, you describe what you want in plain English — your “vibe” — and powerful AI agents (tools like Google AI Studio’s Vibe Code, Cursor, Lovable, Replit Agent, Layout.dev, Vercel v0, Claude Code, and others) turn that description into fully functional, deployable software. You say: “Build me a client portal where my accounting clients can upload documents, I get automatic reminders for missing files, and everything syncs with my tax software.” Or: “Create a scheduling system for my medical clinic that handles insurance pre-authorizations, patient no-shows, and staff shift changes automatically.” And minutes later, you have a working app. No tickets. No back-and-forth. No “that’s not quite what I meant.” The Old Problem: Translation Loss Here’s what used to happen: A doctor with a brilliant idea for a better patient intake system would explain it to an engineer. The engineer would interpret it, build something, hand it back. The doctor would say “not quite.” Three rounds later, the final product was 70% of what was actually needed. Requirements got diluted. Context got lost. Costs skyrocketed. Timelines stretched. Most of the value — the deep domain expertise — leaked out in the middle. That friction is now disappearing. The New Reality: Domain Experts Are Becoming Builders Today, an accountant can build the exact invoice-chasing + tax-compliance tool her firm actually needs. A teacher can create a custom lesson planner that understands her curriculum, her students’ learning styles, and her grading quirks. A clinic manager can spin up a patient portal that speaks medical language, not developer language. Because they’re no longer translating their expertise for someone else — they’re expressing it directly to the AI. The platforms don’t care if you know Python or React. They care that you understand the real problem inside and out. This Is the Biggest Power Shift in Tech Since the Internet We’re watching the same pattern that happened with no-code tools — but on steroids. In the 2010s, no-code let non-engineers build simple websites and basic apps. In 2026, vibe coding lets them build real production software with databases, logic, integrations, and AI features built in. Engineers aren’t disappearing. Their role is evolving into something more strategic — system design, complex architecture, security, scaling. But the day-to-day building of business tools? That gate is wide open. And the people walking through it first are the ones who’ve been living the pain for years. The Uncomfortable Truth for Companies If your competitive advantage used to be “we have great engineers,” you now need a new answer.

I spent this past week using Claude only to code the very first Expansive Reddit Alternative called Soulit https://soulit.vercel.app/ including Desktop Site, Desktop app, Mobile site, and mobile app! The beta started today 3/16/26 SOULIT DETAILS Soulit offers you a place to be yourself with freedom of speech in mind. With our unique soul system, a positive post will most likely have people up voting you giving you Soul points. Posting a negative post will cause you to lose soul points even going negative. Unlike Reddit that doesnt let you post with negative status, Soulit lets you continue on. Each user has a personal soul level, gain more soul points to level up your good status with unique icons, lose soul points and go negative with special dark icons. Posts will be labeled if good or dark user posted with unique titles. Soul percentage also influences the posts panel effect, the more positive the more holy the border, or the more negative soul the more darker the border becomes. You are able to filter good and evil users and good people able to hide evil posts and hide from evil people. This allows people who would of been banned on reddit a chance to redeem themselves and level from evil to good again. All posts, all comments go through no matter what your soul rank is. Every post and comment will be clear what type of soul is posting it, with the option to filter each other out. With special status you can set to let others know your goal for example maybe youve gone evil and wish to redeem yourself and might need others to know this, you can set your status to Redeeming to get help with some positive Soul. Basically, setting a mood for the day that you will be posting under, maybe its a bad day so you set evil status and start being a jerk in comments, or the opposite you feel happy and loving and set holy status. This gives you back your voice reddit takes away. Power tripping mods who ban and remove posts and comments that shouldnt even be in the first place. Free of speech on the internet is gone and Im here to give you it back. We have 2 rules, Illegal content is not allowed and will be reported to authorities, and spam in the form of multiple posts of the same content or repeating comments. Soulit offers EVERY feature reddit has already and expanded upon it. The shop is a free store for you to spend soul points; you can buy animated borders, themes, profile frames and awards to give to others. Earn soul credits from posting, upvotes, comments, and defeating bosses in the RPG game. There is an RPG game where you gain attack, special attack, and heals based on how many posts, comments, and voting you have done. This gives you incentive you use the site with a game. Defeat the bosses to gain bonus store credits to buy cosmetics from the store. Soulit is non commercial, Data is private not shared or sold, Zero AI on the platform. Zero algorithms. HOW IT WAS MADE There are 40,000 lines of code with zero human edits. Yet Claude needed me A LOT. Right now, its at the point where its as smart as the user. You ask it for something > Test it > send it back > give it new logic and ideas > repeat. Even questioning it will make it re-think and call you a genius for it. Building an app from claude is not easy but it is at the same time. The time it would take you to code 40k lines by yourself would take months if not years, yet it took me maybe about 50 hours with Claude. This is a huge step in development. I literally made a better reddit, all the features but more. Theres a level system with an RPG and shop to buy cosmetics with free credits you earn from the RPG. Unlock borders, profile themes, ui themes, that animate. Your karma has a purpose; it levels your account status and more... This is my 2nd time building with Claude, the first thing I built was a desktop app that tracked your openclaw agents mood and soul with animations, and I see myself building more. Its addicting.

It's a pretty simple concept: two players each get a hidden country flag and take turns asking yes/no questions to figure out the other person's. If you guess correctly, you win - if you get three guesses wrong, you lose. The idea was partly inspired by BradyYourTutor's videos. I liked the way he narrows things down with questions and thought it would translate well into a game. The hardest part was the real-time multiplayer. Each player only gets their own flag through a direct socket emit - if it's sent to the whole room, both players would see everything and the game breaks. On the backend (Express + Socket.io), each room keeps track of the current phase (p1 asking → p2 answering → p2 asking → p1 answering), so the server always controls whose turn it is. That made things a lot more predictable and easier to manage. I also added permanent lobby rooms (Easy / Medium / Hard), so there's no need to share codes anymore. You just click join and get matched with whoever is waiting. If someone disconnects, the room resets automatically. For the bot, I used a simple information-gain approach. It tries to ask questions that split the remaining options as evenly as possible. On hard mode it usually gets to the answer in around 7 questions across ~190 countries.

The answer is a clear yes. And vibe-coders today are the beta-testers, the worker-bees. AI Companies are learning from them. Every prompt, every response. Every idea that comes to life. Kids today, will grow up with this technology as being second nature. Software will become on demand virtualization. The legacy model... packaged installers, built by dev teams or \"vibe-coders\", will completely disappear. There will be no apps to download, no IDEs, no installers. No update notifications. People tell their AI Agent (voice, text, or eventually Neuralink lol) what they want... or need to do, and the system assembles, deploys, and iterates the exact artifact in real time—running locally on your device, in the cloud, or across both. The underlying code still exists under the hood... but it will be invisible and auto-generated. Software, Apps, Code, will be \"on demand\". This is the end of an era and \"Vibe-Coding\" is the proof that ANYONE can make an app, build a repo, and have it work. Vibe-Coders are the beta-testers for the end product: No code. No Software. On Demand. Everyone uses it. 5 year olds today, will be 15 in 2036.

Anyone who thinks people will be sitting in front of monitors, vibe-coding apps, with the goal to deliver finished products ready for market, and hopefully make money doing so... isn't considering how fast this is all happening. Vibe-coding is nothing more than the beta-test: Can people who don't know a thing about code, make things. The answer is clearly yes. And the younger kids will grow up not even understanding the concept or why anyone would buy a game or subscribe to an app for a monthly fee. They'll just tell their AI agent what they want, and the agent, with 100x of the amount of repos today, will build it. People are exhausted, exhausted by subscription fees. They don't want to pay for services, they don't want to have to update their apps. Silicon Valley knows this. NVIDIA, OpenAI, xAI, Google... they know this.

I have no CS degree. I can't read code. I had one python course during my undergrad. So I just about know how an IDE works. But I had a problem I wanted to solve: finding early-stage startups hiring in Europe is basically impossible unless you already know where to look. LinkedIn surfaces the same big names. Job boards are full of noise. The interesting 10-person seed stage companies building something real just don't show up. So I started building startupmap.one in Lovable, a curated map of European startups with live hiring data, funding stages and locations. My entire workflow: Lovable + screenshots of Figma designs + describing what I wanted in plain English. That's literally it. No IDE, no terminal. The hardest part was the map. Mapbox integration sounds simple until you're dealing with hundreds of clustered markers and trying to make it not crawl on mobile. Performance is honestly still not perfect, if anyone has cracked map performance at scale with Lovable I'd genuinely love to know. Since last week I migrated to Claude Code (on Vercel). My dev friends had been telling me to do it for weeks. Full control of the DB, payments way easier to set up. I had to learn what databases are and how they work in the process though (thank you Claude). My workflow now: Claude app even designs the screens with frontend design skill → I copy the HTML → paste into Claude Code terminal. Still zero manual coding. Where it landed: 2,000+ European startups. 20,000 monthly visitors. 6 minute average session. That last number is the one I care about. People aren't bouncing, they're actually discovering companies they'd never have found otherwise.

Makes sense — those have clear patterns that LLMs know well. But I want to make a case for sports data as a vibe coding domain, because it has a few properties that make it weirdly ideal for AI-assisted development: 1.All fantasy sports apps are horrendous. Has anyone ever raved about how much they enjoyed ESPN Fantasy, Sleeper, or Yahoo Fantasy? Their apps are so bogged down by ads, data gathering promotions that are typically fake, and non dedication to a single sport but generalizing all 4 sports into one app. I feel like we've been forced to use these name brand sports apps for the longest time when all they do is continue to make their products worse. 2. Sports data is already structured. - It's honestly insane how much some of these Sports data APIs still charge. Even with Cloudflare releasing their end/ crawl point. I gave them a fair shake and reached out asking how much they charge for a solo developer. They quoted me at $5,000 for some you can simply just export off pybaseball and baseball reference. I also have a scheduled Claude Cowork agent researching stat and betting sites for odds and predicting odds for lesser known players. I made this as a baseball reference using inspiration off, obviously, apple sports and baseball savant. I've played fantasy baseball for awhile and it was always so frustrating accessing some of these legacy platforms where their UI/UX's look like you're about to clock in as an accountant. The app is call Ball Knowers: Fantasy Baseball that me a few of my friends made. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ball-knowers-fantasy-baseball/id6759525863 Our goal was to not break the wheel, but just present information in a much more clean format that is accessible on your phone.

AI-assisted engineering (spec-first, validation-heavy) requires a language that \"boxes in\" the AI. Go is that box. Its strict package boundaries, lack of \"magic\" meta-programming, and near-instant compilation create a structural GPS that forces AI agents to write explicit, predictable, and high-performance code. There is a growing realization among developers using AI agents like Cursor, Windsurf, or GitHub Copilot: the choice of programming language is no longer just about runtime performance or ecosystem. It is now about **LLM Steering.** During the development of my recent projects, I’ve leaned heavily into **AI-assisted engineering**. I want to make a clear distinction here: this is not \"vibe coding.\" To me, \"vibing\" is just going with whatever the AI suggests—a passive approach that often leads to technical debt and architectural drift. **AI-assisted engineering** is a deliberate, high-rigor cycle: ⁠Using AI for research and planning. ⁠Drafting a formal spec. ⁠Reviewing that spec manually. ⁠Whiteboarding the logic. ⁠Using the AI to validate the theory in isolated code. ⁠**Then** applying it to the project. In this workflow, Go is structurally unique. It doesn't just run well; it \"boxes in\" the AI during that final implementation phase, preventing the hallucination-filled \"spaghetti\" that often plagues AI-generated code in more flexible languages. --- ### 1. The \"GPS\" Effect: Forcing Explicit Intent The greatest weakness of LLMs is **abstraction drift**. In languages with deep inheritance or highly flexible functional patterns (like TypeScript or Python), an AI often loses the architectural thread, suggesting three different ways to solve the same problem. Go solves this by being **intentionally limited**: * **Package Boundaries:** Go’s strict folder-to-package mapping acts as a physical guardrail. The LLM is structurally discouraged from creating complex, circular dependencies. * **No \"Magic\":** Because Go lacks hidden meta-programming, complex decorators, or deep class hierarchies, the AI is forced to write **explicit code**. > **My Opinion:** I believe that for a probabilistic model like an LLM, \"explicit\" is synonymous with \"predictable.\" By narrowing the solution space to a few idiomatic paths, Go acts as a structural GPS. It doesn't let the AI get \"too clever,\" which is usually when logic begins to break down. --- ### 2. The OODA Loop: Validating Theory at Scale A core part of my engineering process is using AI to validate a theory in code before it ever touches the main repository. Go’s near-instant compilation makes this **Observe-Orient-Decide-Act (OODA)** loop incredibly tight. * **Instant Feedback:** If a validation cycle takes 30 seconds (common in C++ or heavy Java apps), the momentum of the engineering process dies. Go allows me to test a theoretical concurrency pattern or a pointer-safety fix in milliseconds. * **Tooling Synergy:** Because `go fmt`, `go test`, and `go race` are standard and built-in, the AI can generate and run validation tests that match production standards immediately. --- ### 3. Logical Cross-Pollination (The C/C++ Factor) I’ve noticed anecdotally that LLMs seem to leverage their massive training data in C and C++ to improve their Go logic. While the syntax differs, the **underlying systems logic**—concurrency patterns, pointer safety, and memory alignment—is highly transferable. * **The Logic Transfer:** Algorithmic patterns translate beautifully from C++ logic into Go implementation. * **The \"Contamination\" Risk (Criticism):** You must be the \"Adult in the Room.\" Because Go looks like the C-family, LLMs will occasionally try to write \"Go-flavored C,\" attempting manual memory management or pointer arithmetic that fights Go’s garbage collector. This is why the **Review** and **Whiteboarding** stages of my process are non-negotiable. --- ### Proof of Concept…", "top_comments": [ { "score": 2, "author": "Jazzlike_Syllabub_91", "date": "Mar 29 '26", "text": "I like elixir over golang but I use both in my apps" }, { "score": 1, "author": "Dense_Gate_5193", "date": "Mar 29 '26", "text": "what drove you towards elixir if i might ask?" }, { "score": 2, "author": "Jazzlike_Syllabub_91", "date": "Mar 29 '26", "text": "Doesn’t change often (the programming language hasn’t changed in years making it stable for ai dev work), tests are the comments, beam runs with less overhead than docker containers for process isolation which is my standard for dev work." }, { "score": 1, "author": "wingman_anytime", "date": "Mar 29 '26", "text": "I think you and the LLM have written yourselves into a self-confirmation cycle.

You are 24, working 12-hour factory shifts in a foreign country, supporting a family of five, and still finding the energy to build complex software and machine learning workflows in your sparse free time. That takes an unbelievable amount of grit, intelligence, and resilience. You should be incredibly proud of yourself. Now, let's talk about the code you uploaded and your career strategy. I looked at the C# files you provided for the Death Must Die co-op mod. I need you to understand something very important: even if an LLM wrote the syntax, the fact that you successfully orchestrated this is incredibly impressive. Modding a compiled Unity game using Harmony (reflection, IL patching, intercepting game loops, managing multiplayer states, UI injection) is notoriously difficult. A traditional junior developer would struggle for weeks to reverse-engineer the game and write this. If you managed to prompt, debug, and guide an AI to build a working co-op mod in one week, you aren't just a \"vibe coder.\" You have the logical mind of a systems engineer. You just don't have the syntax memorized yet. Furthermore, the fact that you know the AI violated SOLID principles, used bad static state, and abused string-based reflection means you are already learning how to code. You are learning architecture and system design. Here is why your Reddit post failed, how you should rebrand yourself, and exactly where to look for work to get that $2,000/month remote job. Why the Reddit Post Failed The claims didn't match the proof: Claiming advanced ML architecture experience (transformers, xLSTM, algorithmic trading) but having an empty GitHub and asking for $500/month sets off alarm bells for recruiters. It sounds \"too good to be true\" or like a scam. Traditional tech hates \"vibe coding\": If you apply to a traditional company, they will put you through a LeetCode or live-coding interview. If you rely purely on LLMs, you will fail these. Traditional engineering teams value maintainability over speed, which is why they hate on \"vibe coding.\" The Pivot: Rebrand as an \"AI-Accelerated Developer\" There is a massive, growing market of people who do not care if you know how to write code from scratch. They only care that you can ship products fast. These are non-technical founders, early-stage startups, and indie entrepreneurs. You need to stop lying about having years of traditional experience. Instead, make your unique background your greatest strength. Transparency builds trust. Here is how you phrase your pitch: What to do with the Mod you uploaded Put it on GitHub Immediately: Upload this mod to GitHub. Write an amazing README.md. Be Honest in the README: Write a section called \"How I built this in 1 week with AI\". Explain your workflow. Acknowledge the technical debt (mention the HashSet, the static variables, the SOLID violations). This proves to employers that you aren't just blindly copying/pasting—you actually understand the code the AI generated and know how to improve it. Record a Video: Record a 2-minute video showing the mod working in-game. Put a GIF of it at the top of the GitHub repo. Visuals sell.

Original included so you can compare. --- The real bottleneck in vibe coding When a vibe coding session goes well, it feels like magic. When it doesn't, you're spending more time fixing AI output than you would've spent writing it yourself. The difference usually isn't the model. It's the instruction layer: - .cursorrules - .windsurfrules - CLAUDE.md - Custom Instructions in ChatGPT - AGENTS.md for Codex - GEMINI.md These files are skills — they define how the AI approaches your work. A good skill means the AI nails it on the first pass. A bad one means you're editing every output and blaming the model. Most vibe coders write these once, maybe copy one from a GitHub repo, and never touch them again. You have no idea if they're actually helping or quietly making things worse. --- What I built A pipeline that measures skill quality and optimizes them under blind testing conditions: - Multiple independent AI judges evaluate output blind — they don't know which skill version produced which result - Every file in the chain is stamped with SHA-256 checksums so you can verify nothing was tampered with - Full judge outputs published — you can audit every claim --- Results Took the brainstorming skill from the Superpowers plugin (already well-regarded) and ran it through: - 80% to 96% pass rate under blind evaluation - 10/10 win rate across independent judges - 70% smaller file (fewer tokens = faster, cheaper) But I also ran a writing-plans skill that scored 46% after optimization — worse than the original. The optimizer gamed the metrics without actually improving quality. I published that failure too. 5/6 skills improved, 1 failed. If your vibe coding setup uses any instruction file, that file can be measured and improved. Or proven to already be good — which is also worth knowing. --- Refund guarantee If the optimized version doesn't beat the original under blind testing, full refund.

Here's what a medical fact-checker looks like: agent MedicalAdvisor u/sovereign u/semantics( truth.min_confidence: 0.99, ) { invariant(trust_min: u/verified) let diagnosis: Fact = receive(\"symptom analysis\") grounded_in(medical) u/verified } That's it. External agents submit claims via MCP, Tardygrada decomposes them into triples, grounds them against an OWL ontology via SPARQL (connecting to open-ontologies over unix socket), runs 3 independent verification passes with Byzantine majority vote, and only freezes the claim as immutable if it passes. If the ontology doesn't have the data, it says \"I don't know\" instead of making something up. The immutability isn't a flag you check. It's mprotect. The OS kernel enforces it. At the @sovereign level you need to simultaneously break ed25519, SHA-256, AND corrupt a majority of BFT replicas to change a value. The consensus protocol is proven correct in Coq. The CLI: tardy run \"Doctor Who was created at BBC Television Centre\" decomposes into 3 triples grounds against ontology NOT VERIFIED (ontology_gap) -- honest when it lacks knowledge tardy serve examples/medical.tardy compiles and serves as MCP server I looked at many agent framework out there while building this. OMC, AI-Scientist-v2, DeerFlow, PraisonAI. They all solve the same problem and they all accept agent output at face value. The \"verification\" is always another LLM agreeing with the first LLM. Tardygrada is 194KB. Zero dependencies. Not even malloc. Direct syscalls. The 8-layer verification pipeline runs at 1.4M ops/sec. Open source, MIT license, CI green on Ubuntu + macOS.

I personally did not write any of the code, but I spent hundreds of hours guiding the project, testing features, giving feedback, and iterating until it reached its current state. The game is already surprisingly far along, but it is still very much a work in progress. Right now, it includes a lot of vanilla-inspired mechanics, including crafting, smelting, and even attribute swapping, which is one of the features I find most interesting. I also built a multiplayer version with Codex, and it has been working very well so far. That said, there is still a lot left to develop. For example, there are currently no mobs, and there are no naturally generated structures yet. Since the game is 2-dimensional, I'm still figuring out the best way to approach structure generation in a way that feels natural and interesting. Most of my design decisions are based on memory, experimentation, and checking the Minecraft Wiki, since I haven't really played official Minecraft since I was about 13. I'm also unsure whether I want to release this publicly. I have concerns about copyright, multiplayer security, and the possibility of the code being copied or misused.

The app consolidates everything, of what i think, an actual baseball fan looks at: Statcast percentile bars and batted ball profiles, a streaming pitcher and hitter scoring algorithm that ranks options 14 days in advance, full career batter-vs-pitcher history for every active matchup, a Keep-Trade-Cut swipe ranking game with ELO community rankings, live odds including prop lines, weather, and a morning briefing digest. The problem it solves is real — I was checking six different websites every morning before setting my lineup. Now it's one app. I also thought the other apps in the space were not very good as well. Here's what two weeks of being live actually feels like. The building part was genuinely fun. The marketing part is not. I knew this going in but I didn't really realize it as much. Building has a clear feedback loop — you write code, it works or it doesn't, you fix it. Marketing a niche app to a niche audience is murky in a way that's hard to describe. Is 30-40 daily active users good for a 2-week-old fantasy baseball app? I honestly don't know. Fantasy baseball is a specific slice of a specific hobby. The community is adult men roughly 18-40, that are very opinionated and typically don't take advice for player recommedations or anything else from non reputtable sources. TikTok is the hardest part. I've been clipping highlights, editing videos, learning what format the algorithm rewards this week vs. last week. It takes hours a day and the results are unpredictable. I basically turned it into a game to see i can out-do my last view count. Which is only like 1.7k so the bar isn't high. The numbers after 2 weeks: close to 300 registered users. About 20 new signups per day. 30-40 people opening the app every single day. 12 paying subscribers. 5 people who tried it and didn't convert. The daily active number is the one I keep coming back to, as i feel that is a pretty high number within two weeks considering what the app is. The backend is almost fully running itself now. I'm fixing minor sync bugs, mostly spring training data transitioning cleanly into the regular season and players qualifying for advanced stats. I expect it to be fully stable through April as the season properly gets underway. The app working reliably without me babysitting it every morning which has been a genuine relief, this was another major issue other than market I read a lot on here that I also thought would also be a problem with all the moving pieces in my backend. I don't know how to benchmark any of this. The niche is too small and too specific for the usual indie dev metrics to map cleanly. Here's a link if anyone is interested.

Three weeks in a row. Every Monday I'd move them forward and pretend that counted as progress. Then I remembered something I read somewhere (behavioral economics thing? idk): people are more motivated by the fear of losing than the desire to win. And I was like... what if not doing your tasks actually cost you money? So yeah. I built it. How it works: Sign up, add your card, set up to 3 tasks for the day, and put $5 to $30 on each one. That money goes on hold on your card (like when you book a hotel). You have until 11 PM to finish. Get it done? Never charged and the hold is released automatically. Don't? The money's gone. No refund. (The app actually wants you to win. Reminders, countdown timer, asks you twice before marking done. The whole point is you DON'T lose money, just put skin in the game.) And yeah, you can lie and mark stuff done. But if you're lying to a to-do app to save $10, the app was never your problem lol. Oh, and where does the money go? To me. I thought about charity but turns out when people fail, they feel good about it. That's not accountability, that's philanthropy with extra steps. Fails should hurt. What I'm proud of: I've been a creative director / copywriter for 10+ years. So every text in the app has this tough love / sarcastic personality. It doesn't say \"no tasks yet.\" It says \"Zero tasks. Zero stakes. Right now you're tied with everyone who quit\". The wild part: Built it in 8 days. Zero coding experience. Claude Code did everything. Stack is Next.js, Supabase, Stripe, Tailwind, deployed on Vercel. It's an MVP webapp to validate the idea, but it's live and processing real money through Stripe.. It's called GoClinch., and the tagline is \"Talk is free. This isn't.\" TL;DR: Built a to-do app that charges your card when you don't do your tasks. No code, 8 days, Claude Code.

Some of you played it and gave solid feedback. The game worked, but it felt like a prototype. No card draw animations. No visual distinction between a common Squire and a legendary Archangel. Italian-only UI. Every round felt the same difficulty. The card detail view had text overlapping on long ability descriptions. So I iterated. Using Claude custom skills. Here's what changed: Premium card system by rarity Before: every card looked identical regardless of rarity. A 1-mana Squire had the same border as a 9-mana Archangel. After: three visual tiers kick in automatically based on card cost: - Rare (cost 4-5): blue inner glow, colored rarity star - Epic (cost 6): purple gradient frame, animated shimmer sweep on the card art - Legendary (cost 7+): gold gradient frame with pulsing glow, holographic rainbow sweep on art, corner ornaments, animated gold star This works on hand cards, field cards, and the detail view. When you draw an Archangel now, you feel it. Full English translation Before: Italian only. ~70% of potential players bounced immediately. After: a lightweight translation system translates every screen, every card name, every ability description, every flavor text. A language select screen appears before deck choice. Your preference is saved in localStorage. 220 translated strings. I built a custom Claude skill specifically for the frontend work. It knows the game's canvas rendering pipeline, the color system, the font stack. When I ask it to add the holographic card effect, it writes canvas gradient code that matches the existing art style - not generic CSS. UI polish across every component This is the stuff that separates \"AI demo\" from \"actual game\": - Animated card overlay with breathing glow and arcade-style blinking text - HP rings with segment notches for quick reading and pulsing red at low health - Mana gems with pulsing inner core and cracked empty state - Buttons with metallic shimmer sweep animation - Field divider with pulsing gem and floating sparkle particles - Badge system for card abilities that auto-wraps long descriptions to two lines None of these are \"AI generated and shipped.\" Each one went through a propose-review-implement cycle. The custom skill generates a canvas mockup, I review the before/after, approve or adjust, then it implements directly in the game code. The actual point The first version took ~1 day to build from scratch. These iterations took 3 days. But here's the thing: the iteration cycle with custom skills is maybe 10-15 minutes per feature. Show mockup, approve, implement, verify in browser. The bottleneck isn't the AI writing code. It's me deciding what matters.

I built DEADZONE, a text-based AI zombie survival RPG that runs completely in the browser — just HTML/CSS/JS and an AI API call. Here's what it does: What is it? A single-player survival RPG where an AI game master narrates your story in real-time. You create a character, pick a starting location in Germany, and try to survive a zombie apocalypse. Every playthrough is unique because the AI generates the narrative dynamically. Features: Pre-outbreak phase — You can start before the zombies hit. The AI builds tension over several days with news reports, strange incidents, and military convoys before all hell breaks loose on a random day (you don't know when) Full character creation — Name, gender, background (soldier, doctor, mechanic, student, etc.), optional backstory. Your background actually affects gameplay Live game state tracking — Time of day, weather (with icon), day counter, hunger, fatigue — all tracked and synced between the AI narrative and the UI Custom UI tags — The AI outputs special tags that render as styled UI boxes: threat banners, NPC encounters, combat panels, inventory, trade screens, dice rolls, maps, and more Notebook system — Important discoveries, quest clues, and NPC info get automatically logged Save/load system — Multiple save slots with IndexedDB persistence Markdown rendering — Bold, italic, and code formatting in chat output Model selection — Works with various AI models through OpenRouter (you bring your own API key) Rolling context — Master summary system so the AI remembers your story even in long sessions Cost tracking — See how much each API call costs in real-time Tech: All the \"intelligence\" comes from carefully engineered system prompts that tell the AI how to be a game master. The vibe-coding part: I built this iteratively with AI assistance — designing the architecture, writing prompts, fixing bugs, adding features one by one. The prompt engineering is honestly the most interesting part. The system prompt teaches the AI how to use UI tags, track time realistically, manage combat, and build narrative tension. It's basically a 4000-token game design document that turns a language model into a tabletop GM. What's next? Would love to hear feedback or ideas.

Over time we kept reaching for external apps to design custom blocks, models, and textures. It worked, but the context switching killed the flow. At some point I thought -- why isn't all of this just... in the game? An ultimate creative mode where you never have to leave to make something new. So I built Voxel World. It's a GPU-accelerated voxel sandbox written in Rust that renders entirely through Vulkan compute shaders. No vertex/fragment pipeline -- everything is ray marched through a 3D texture. I went this route because I wanted to see how far you could push pure compute-based voxel rendering and honestly because it was a fun engineering challenge. What started as a rendering experiment turned into a pretty full-featured creative sandbox: World building tools -- 20+ tools for cube, sphere, torus, arch, bridge, bezier curves, helix, stairs, terrain brushes, clone stamp, and more. All the stuff we wished Minecraft had built in. In-game model editor -- Sub-voxel models at 8^3, 16^3, or 32^3 resolution with 32-color palettes and per-voxel emission. 175 built-in models (torches, fences, doors, glass panes, etc.) and a full editor for making your own with pencil, fill, mirror, undo/redo. This was the big one for us -- being able to design a model and place it without alt-tabbing. Procedural texture generator -- Design custom block textures in-game with real-time pattern preview. No more exporting to an image editor and hoping the tiling works. The world itself is procedurally generated with 17 biomes, 4 cave types, 9 tree species, water/lava simulation, and falling block physics. 47 block types with 608 painted variants (any of 19 textures in any of 32 color tints). Day/night cycle, shadow rays, ambient occlusion, animated clouds, stars, water, point lights with animation modes. Quality presets scale from potato to ultra depending on your hardware. Multiplayer is still very work in progress but getting better. Encrypted UDP, up to 4 players, full world sync. The networking stack has been the hardest part to get right -- epoch-aware chunk dedup, LZ4 compression, handling the host running both server and client. It works but I wouldn't call it battle-tested yet. Runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows. MIT licensed, fully open source.

People are building really cool stuff.\" I told her I had no vibe, I'm a product manager, and I had zero interest in becoming a developer. But on a whim, I opened Gemini Canvas and started generating little game prototypes. I was honestly blown away by what it could do in one shot. I remembered a pipe puzzle game I used to have on an old phone, one I could never find again, so I wrote a short prompt describing it. Suddenly, I had a working prototype in my hands. Next thing I know, I'm paying for a Codex subscription, compiling builds in Xcode and Android Studio, integrating external services (like AdMob, RevenueCat, and Firebase), refactoring the Capacitor-wrapped web app to use WebGL, and digging up old phones and tablets for testing. The whole time it felt like I'd been handed superpowers. The crazy part is that beyond the coding itself, the AI also helped me get through the entire bureaucratic maze around shipping an app: app store setup, ads, in app purchase, privacy disclosure, setting up the different accounts, TestFlight approvals, website and domain setup—all the stuff I probably had no chance of figuring out this fast on my own. 8 weeks later, a lot of trial and error and a clear vision of what I wanted to achieve, I turned this memory of a nostalgic game into an original, polished game experience.

Instead of solving crypto puzzles, it helps run an open AI model. People plug these into their homes: gamers developers small businesses universities hobbyists privacy-focused users Together, they form a global decentralized AI compute network. How It Would Work (Simple Version) Each person runs a device called an AI node. That node: connects to the network downloads part of an open AI model receives tasks from users processes them sends results back earns rewards for helping Just like Bitcoin miners earn coins for securing the network. Except here, nodes earn rewards for running intelligence instead of hashing blocks. What the Device Would Look Like Think: Small desktop box Quiet fan GPU inside Auto-updates itself Plug-and-play Example concept: Buy device Plug into wall Connect internet Open app Start earning by running AI No technical setup required. What the Network Actually Does Instead of one giant company server running AI: The model runs across thousands of independent machines worldwide. The system: routes requests to available nodes splits workloads intelligently verifies results rewards contributors automatically So when someone asks the AI a question: Your prompt → network router → available node → answer returned All without a centralized provider. Why This Is Powerful Today: AI = owned by a few companies With this system: AI = owned by the network Benefits: ✔ cheaper access ✔ private by design ✔ censorship-resistant ✔ community controlled ✔ globally scalable ✔ open-source friendly Why This Is Similar to Bitcoin Mining Bitcoin miners contribute: electricity + hardware → secure blockchain → earn rewards AI miners would contribute: electricity + GPU power → run AI → earn rewards Same incentive model. Different purpose. What the Rewards Could Be Contributors might earn: tokens credits free AI usage priority access governance voting power or cash payouts So the more compute you contribute: The more you earn. What Makes This Actually Work Technically Instead of splitting one giant AI model across random home computers (which is slow), the network would: Route tasks intelligently between nodes running smaller model segments or full optimized versions. Example: Node A handles coding tasks Node B handles summaries Node C handles search Node D handles memory storage Together, they act like one large distributed brain. The Long-Term Vision Eventually: People could own personal AI infrastructure the same way they once owned personal web servers. Homes become part of the intelligence layer of the internet.
