Ask HN: Share your vibe coded project

8 points by firefoxd 8mo ago

Many hn users often partially talk about their use case of AI. Orchestrating agents, managing code and PRs. But they rarely talk about the project itself. If you have any of those projects, or just heavily AI assisted project, please share it here.

Or don't. It has been made fairly clear that AI-generated content isn't on-topic for HN. Now, if you have written a product that is successful and want to share that success, and just happenned to vibe-code it, that is a different story. But "Hey, I vibe-coded this." is not particularly interesting.

  I disagree. It's interesting to see what sorts of tiny problems people had and solved. The code is less important than the problem itself. A bit like duct-taping a solution in your garage for an hyper-specific issue in your house.

Not a programmer (accountant here) and thanks to Github copilot in VSCode, I was able to make the app I couldn't find. It's been a super fun hobby over the last 6 or 7 months, especially hosting it myself and my only cost now is Apple's recurring 99 USD in case i want to ship an update later, so I can keep it up for free into the future. 95% of the app is boilerplate API and DB stuff but I stood 0 chance of making this without the LLM handling syntax and the volume of code. It's Plantshare and it helps people share and find plants, because if you do gardening, your plants are likely making more free plants all the time. which you can now share and find on this app. Saw an app for sharing tools in your neighborhood and I thought that was really cool, so I did this but for giving plants/seeds/cuttings away. https://ps-prod.bloodys.cc/links/getplantshare https://ps-prod.bloodys.cc/links/getplantshare

Founder here. Not vibe coded, but in the last six months I’ve been heads-down building ORA—an autonomous super agent that represents the next step toward AGI. An agent, specifically designed to help people go from vibe coding to production-ready code. The gap between 'I got AI to make something' and 'this is actually deployable' is massive. Curious if others in this thread are thinking about that transition. Demo: https://x.com/OscerraHQ https://x.com/OscerraHQ

I took a python library for generating posters from maps and wrapped it up as a web UI: https://maptoposter.penk.in/ https://maptoposter.penk.in/ I mean AI did all the work for me with some minimal guidance. All and all it took about 3 hours to do with PaaS hosting

http://forum.philosofriends.com/ http://forum.philosofriends.com/ I wanted to try vibecoding, so I decided to make a 100% vibe coded project: a HN-clone forum just for philosophical topics/questions and articles
- nicbou 8mo ago
  I am interested in building a forum. Hiw well did the vibe coding approach work for you vs just using something oof the shelf?
  - Gooblebrai 8mo ago
    I work as a software engineer, so I was familiar with the stack I told the AI to build the forum with. Also, the forum was made specifically to see what vibecoding was like, so I didn't look for alternatives. But I'd say is working quite well code-wise.
    - nicbou 8mo ago
      Same. We have a very similar use case then. Did it handle user flows well? I'm talking about account validation, deactivation and recovery. Or better, if the code is on GitHub, I would love to have a look.
      - Gooblebrai 8mo ago
        Yes, the only issue I had to debug was the password hashing iterations being too much for the low resources of the VPS I was using. That made for logins and registration taking 2 seconds; other than that, smooth as butter.

Been working on mistro.sh Idea is to give agents and humans power to both post to and consume from a vector/RAG database. So then you can do something like "Im looking for someone whose read this book recently and wants to talk about it" or "find me blog posts about x y or z". Pretty difficult to get over the need a user base to have a user base hurdle though and Im horrible with marketing
