24 alternatives to I vibe coded a free typing game for my kids
My kids are surprisingly keen to learn to type, and I couldn't find any thing out there which was A) Free without adverts B) Worked well on mobile/tablets C) Was clutter free and easy to use I wondered how easily I could vibe code a solution. Here's the result. Everything here was "vibe coded" to an extent, the graphics, sounds, art-work, even the github pipelines ( and I used chatgpt to instruct me how to configure everything in AWS ) I'm particularly pleased with the phoneme game, https://free-kids-typing-games.com/games/phoneme-sound-lab/ which was crafted…

100 Vibe Coding▲351Hi HN, I have been making side projects since I was 14, and my team mate (this is his very first side project! Congrats!) designed and implemented the UI. Over time, people kept asking me how they could start coding and turn ideas into reality. So we had an idea. Coding is changing. With AI, the bottleneck is no longer writing every line by hand but knowing how to prompt effectively to reach a working outcome. Our objective is not to make people code better, or even learn to be a proficient software engineer, but just to keep it simple and start building. We want to remove fear and barriers…

Hi! I took a cheap $25 walmart phone and put a static server on it? Why? Just for a fun weekend project. I used Claude Code for most of the setup. I had a blast. It's running termux, andronix, nginx, cloudflared and even a prometheus node exporter. Here's the site: https://walmartphone.stetsonblake.com/

VibeShift MCP▲141Hi HN, We are the devs behind VibeShift. We have been building this MCP server to put AI coding assistants in an automatic feedback loop. They code, test, debug, fix everything until we have a fully working, secure code. It tests like a real user, copies network/console and logical errors to give them back to cursor. (1 min demo - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bN_RgQGa8B0) We felt this was the natural next step for AI coding assistants. And with new asynchronous assistants like codex, having a plug & play tester makes sure you don't have to spend time debugging and…

Hi everyone, I just saw a vibe coded game on HN, and thought maybe I should post about this here. I'm organizing a vibe coding game dev competition called Vibe Jam. Last year we did it too and there was 1000+ games submitted. This year the deadline is May 1 and you can submit your games until then. There's $35,000 in prizes with the Gold prize being $20,000. Let me know what you think! -Pieter

I've been using Cursor, Co-Pilot, ChatGPT, Claude and what not since quite some time now, and we are at a stage where we can just "vibe code" whole apps from idea to execution in a few prompts. I tried this personally to create some side projects that solved little problems for me. But I always got stuck at a point where it just goes into an infinite loop of issues and can't solve the issue by itself. Well I'm a developer, so it's easier for me to dive into the code and solve the problem myself, but that would take a hell lot of time to understand all the code AI wrote for me. If I keep…

I built Vibe Remote because I wanted to code from my bed or the park without lugging a laptop around. With tools like Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini-cli, we don't need a full IDE for every task anymore. Vibe Remote turns your phone into a powerful remote console. Why it’s more than just a chat: * AI Agent Hub: Zero-config support for Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode. * Built-in Web Preview: View your localhost services directly inside the app. Essential for UI debugging. * Full Session Management: Start a task on your Mac, grab your phone, and monitor progress from a cafe. * Dev Ops: Manage…

It took me about a week to vibe code this 3D game engine with Opus 4.6 that I intend to use as a replacement for Three.js and React Three Fiber in my browser MMORPG, Mana Blade. I was not expecting to be able to reach that point so easily, but pretty much every feature took somewhere between 30 minutes and 1 hour - 1 to 3 prompts on average. It is vibe-coded in the sense that I haven't looked at the code, but I am very careful with my prompts and constantly have Claude reviewing the codebase, looking for performance and code quality improvements. It can reach 2000 draw calls on recent…

I'm calling this "Vibe Discovery" — distinct from vibe coding because I didn't know the requirements upfront. Started with "make something with the accelerometer" and discovered through 6 iterations that I wanted a WebGL marble game. The interesting part was the dev setup: Claude Code running in Termux on a Redmi Note 9 (4GB RAM). The same-device feedback loop — code, test accelerometer, react, iterate — made rapid discovery possible in a way that laptop-to-phone deployment wouldn't.

Hey HN, my name is Sam. My buddy Danny and I (and our good friend Claude) have been making this fun app to make and share vibe games. You just describe whatever game pops into your deranged little mind, and BLAMO! there it is, playable on your phone in under 30 seconds. Super Mario Breakout? BLAMO! https://www.blamo.ai/vibes/7350a500-09bb-4ed9-866d-001006f6f... Text Adventure PacMan? BLAMO! https://www.blamo.ai/vibes/781cdd12-bc00-4f1a-8c6c-9726e143f... And not just games, they can be little digital toys, and you can use generative AI _inside_ your…

My girlfriend and I wanted to text each other in the language we're learning. Tried WhatsApp but kept copy-pasting to ChatGPT. Too much friction. So I built a simple messenger with AI built in: - Helps you write before you send (translate or improve) - Explains any message you receive - Save expressions and review later iOS only for now. Free. Would love technical feedback or ideas.

This is my setup for lazy vibe coding from my phone Laziness is the goal, this is for fun, not business or personal development. I used it to make “Pac Man With Guns” Taking a break from all discourse on AI and its place in professional coding, it’s really fun to play and prototype games with it. I have limited time and focus, and it’s cool to take half and idea and get a workable thing https://github.com/AdmTal/pac-man-with-guns

VibeFarm▲5Creator here. I built VibeFarm because prompt work kept collapsing into scattered notes, version chaos, and lost “recipes” across Midjourney, Sora, DALL·E, ChatGPT, etc. I wanted something closer to an IDE: structured, reusable, and model-agnostic, not a chat wrapper. VibeFarm is a non-generative prompt composition workspace. Prompts are built from semantic slots (subject/context/style/etc.), optional layers, and saved snapshots (“VibeCards”) that export clean prompts to any model or to a portable .vibe JSON format. Design choices: - No generation inside the app, it’s…

I was going through my app subscriptions and realized I was paying $15 for a pretty good workout app, which seemed a bit high to me. As a software engineer who is also well versed in claude code, I realized that I could likely vibecode a very similar app, or even build something more to my liking. I challenged my self to build something roughly equivalent this afternoon. Workflow was: start with a detailed spec from Claude code describing many of the features common in workout apps. Then paste this into lovable to have it build out the initial mvp. Once that was built, I used claude code…

Hi HN! I'm here to share Vibebox (vibebox.app), a little toy app I built to sprinkle joy across your inbox with friendly animal avatars and messages that transform mundane emails into warm, joyful reads. About Vibebox - Transforms your emails with playful visuals and warm messages. - Aims to reduce stress associated with email management. - Promotes positivity within your daily routine. I'd love your feedback! Is this something you'd actually use if it were built out? I'm convinced it's a fun toy app, but a few early beta testers have said it's turning into their favorite way to read email…

Hi HN, I’ve been spending a lot of time vibe-coding with LLMs and kept running into the same bottleneck: translating a vague idea into a prompt that produces usable output without multiple correction cycles. Most of the time wasn’t spent coding, but refining prompts. Adding constraints, clarifying intent, restating context, fixing assumptions. It felt like a repeatable preprocessing problem rather than something that should require manual effort every time. So I built a small tool that takes rough, unstructured input and rewrites it into a more explicit, structured prompt optimized for…
