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…

Claude 2▲248It was quite interesting to vibe code this artifact. I learned some basic ideas about commitment scheme and hash cryptography in the half and hour spent on this. One of the few times vibe coding left me feeling enriched rather than drained. What do you think?

Vibe Prolog▲44Like a lot of people I got the $250 Claude Code credit and didn't use it up. I decided to try to use it up over the weekend using (mostly) my phone and vibe coded a Prolog interpreter. Now I'm seeing how far I can push it.

idealane▲37Hi HN! made a vibe coding platform with the non-technical user in mind. This means that you don’t have to integrate Supabase, Auth0, it’s automatic. Our goal is to soon also provide email, payments, and other integrations automatically. We target SMB owners and entrepreneurs. We will differentiate by talking non-technical, hide code most of the time, friendly consumery UX and support Made pricing also simpler: 1 credit = 1 prompt (drives me nuts when in other platforms you don’t know what you’re paying for) Would love any thoughts!

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…

Vibe Check▲17Vibe check shares benchmarking insights on any vibe coded URLs like: Make, Lovable, Claude code, V0, etc. Provide a link and we'll share your 'time-to-value'. Provide a URL, set a challenge("Find pricing and subscribe") then AI navigates in real-time to report on UX insights: Interactions, time-on-task, drop-off, etc. What's cool about this is that it gives you some quantitive data to act upon in improving the UX of product journeys. Example of sim playback: https://app.appvelocity.io/vibe/simulation/8321db67-883b-445... Example report:…

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…

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…
