Built out an entire web accessibility monitoring / scanning tool. The backend/scanning system required my knowledge as a programmer but the UI was entirely vibe coded. I said "build a UI for this scanning system on Cloudflare workers and use Hono.dev", and then just described in plain English how I wanted the UI to work.
Did this over a few weeks in my free time and now it has all of the features of accessibility monitoring SaaS that I was previously paying $600/mo for.

- nicksergeant 2y agoThis is also something I've realized about LLM coding: I have learned wayyyy more about tech I wouldn't normally try just by vibe coding and explaining what I want to exist. In the last few months I've learned Cloudflare workers/queues/Puppeteer, heavy Postgres features like policies, triggers, functions, trigram search, migrations, and a ton about RLS. I _could_ have learned this stuff on my own but the friction is just too high, but with LLM coding it just shows me a working solution and I can tweak and ask questions from there. Hono is pretty great, too! It has exactly what I've always wanted in a backend JS framework which is a React/JSX-like way of writing UI components but without actually using the React renderer on the FE. Next.js and SSR obviously also offers this but I don't think Hono even uses that, it's just JSX.
