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…

Google AI Studio▲492Made using Google’s Lyria music model — an image → music translator. I’m a designer at Google, doing a self-initiated 30 days with Gemini experiment. This is technically a promo, but honestly just pleased with how this one turned out. I don’t write code — this was entirely vibecoded.

I created vibescaffold.dev. It is a wizard-style AI tool that will guide you from idea → vision → tech spec → implementation plan. It will generate all the documents necessary for AI coding agents to understand & iteratively execute on your vision. How it works: - Step 1: Define your product vision and MVP - Step 2: AI helps create technical architecture and data models - Step 3: Generate a staged development plan - Step 4: Create an AGENTS.md for automated workflows I've used AI coding tools for awhile. Before this workflow (and now, this tool), I kept getting "close but not quite" results…

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…

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…

If you are concerned about AI replacing your coding job, fear not! Just level up and get very good at vibecoding. "Vibe coding is the art of leveraging AI tools to their fullest potential in software development, creating a seamless fusion between human creativity and machine intelligence. It represents a paradigm shift where developers orchestrate AI systems rather than writing every line manually." The big tools out there are cursor, cline, aider, and Claude Code. https://andrewarrow.dev/ This site was made with Claude Code from just 1 prompt. Go ahead and register and give…

I built SpecMind, an open source developer tool for spec driven vibe coding. It keeps architecture and implementation aligned from the first commit instead of letting them drift apart. With AI assistants writing more of our code, projects move faster but architectural consistency is often lost. Each developer or AI can introduce new patterns, and after a few sprints, the structure becomes fragmented. SpecMind helps prevent that by generating and maintaining living architecture specs directly from your code. It works in three steps: 1. analyze – scans your codebase and generates…

Howdy friends. I've been a zero to one product manager for 12 plus years and along the way I kept borrowing pieces from different discovery frameworks until I had a methodology of my own, one that actually raises the odds of an idea succeeding. This does not replace user interviews obviously, but it leads you in the right direction. Looking forward for your feedback

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…
