24 alternatives to Vibe Coded Project Management System
As an experiment I let Claude Code write 100% of the code to begin a project management application. Total spent: $30 Time: 2hours I did this so showcase what Claude produces and to also get feedback on how well you think it did.

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.

Built this after realizing I was spending ~$1400/week on Claude Code with almost no visibility into what was actually consuming tokens. Tools like ccusage give a cost breakdown per model and per day, but I wanted to understand usage at the task level. CodeBurn reads the JSONL session transcripts that Claude Code stores locally (~/.claude/projects/) and classifies each turn into 13 categories based on tool usage patterns (no LLM calls involved). One surprising result: about 56% of my spend was on conversation turns with no tool usage. Actual coding (edits/writes) was…

I built a lightweight project management workflow to keep AI-driven development organized. The problem was that context kept disappearing between tasks. With multiple Claude agents running in parallel, I’d lose track of specs, dependencies, and history. External PM tools didn’t help because syncing them with repos always created friction. The solution was to treat GitHub Issues as the database. The "system" is ~50 bash scripts and markdown configs that: - Brainstorm with you to create a markdown PRD, spins up an epic, and decomposes it into tasks and syncs them with GitHub issues - Track…

Design Rails▲211Hey HN, we're building Design Rails. It's a chat-based brand builder. You describe your project, iterate with an AI designer, and walk away with a logo, color palette, typography, and style guide - all formatted as specs you can drop into your project for Claude Code, Cursor or whatever you're coding with. Free tier gets you a full logo (PNG) and basic palette. Paid tier ($49 one-time) - everything you need for your next project - full coding-agent ready specs, SVG logos, icon variants, etc. Built with Next.js, Vercel AI SDK, and Inngest for the async generation jobs. Would love to hear your…

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/

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…

Year in Code▲15Hey HN! I built Year in Code to turn your Claude Code usage into a beautiful Wrapped-style report (like Spotify Wrapped). If you use Claude Code with ccusage, it's super quick to try: Setup (2 minutes): 1. Run: `npx -y ccusage@latest daily --since 20250101 --until 20251231 --json > wrapped.json` 2. Upload at yearincode.xyz/2025 3. Get your report! *What you'll see:* - Total tokens - Activity streaks & patterns - Top models used - Shareable report Key features: - 100% secure: 100% browser processing, no server uploads - 2-minute setup: One npx command, upload JSON, done - Free & open…

Bindly▲76Hi HN, I’m a product designer by background, not a traditional software engineer. Over the last year, tools like Claude and ChatGPT completely changed how I work. I started with small internal tools, and now I’m “vibe coding” multiple highly personalized apps. As I iterated between Claude Code (implementation) and ChatGPT (ideation / thinking), I kept running into the same problem. To think clearly, I had to repeatedly re-explain: - what the code currently does, - what changed recently, - and why certain decisions were made. That re-summarization step became a real bottleneck. So I…

Hey HN. I built this because my Anthropic API bills were getting out of hand (spoiler: they remain high even with this, batch is not a magic bullet). I use Claude Code daily for software design and infra work (terraform, code reviews, docs). Many Terminal tabs, many questions. I realised some questions are ok to wait on and with that comes some cost savings. So here is a small MCP that lets you send work directly to Anthropic's Batch API from inside Claude Code, for the same quality responses just 50% cheaper, results come back in ~30min-1hr. How it works: you type /batch review this…

I've been working on this internal project initially both to learn more Vibe-Coding but also to help our teams and projects to use AI more efficiently. As more people used it, it grew to support multiple teams/projects to analyze their Claude Code conversation and optimize them over time (understanding how to write better conversation with Claude Code and share knowledge between them) With time we added support for multiple Claude account management and monitor usage/rate limit. This is a simple project but has proved to be quite useful for our company. We have reached 5000+…

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…

We built this on a whim for a hackathon, but I'm thinking to turn it into a real thing! Original GitHub repository at: https://github.com/Flux159/claude-code-go The desktop app exposes an interface to Claude Code, so you can run Claude Code from your phone.

A bunch of companies that I spoke to had their own claude & codex OTel dashboards that showed spend + seats per month. However, none of the dashboards actually analyzed how the engineers worked with the tools and if there were any areas for improvement! That's why I created https://www.promptster.ai. Managers get aggregate level view of code quality and how that ties with team workflows (nothing on a per-engineer level). While engineers get personalized coaching on how they can save tokens while keeping output high. We also have a tool built for individuals to test their local…

I built this for myself but I figured why not share. The aim of CCM is to be able to fully manage all Claude Code configuration files, both globally and those in your project. Some neat features: - Manages your CLAUDE.md, rules, hooks, agents, memories and so on. - Elevate memories to rules - Copy/Move any asset from one scope to another, or elevate it to global scope - Install marketplaces and plugins The full app is embedded right on the site as a demo so you can try it out. I'm happy to receive feedback, I know it's not perfect. Thanks for taking a look.

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
