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

  I am interested in building a forum. Hiw well did the vibe coding approach work for you vs just using something oof the shelf?

    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.

      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.

        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.
