    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…

    Hey HN! I'm Louis, one of the creators of Vibe Kanban. We started working on this a few weeks ago. Personally, I was feeling pretty useless working synchronously with coding agents. The 2-5 minutes that they take to complete their work often led me to distraction and doomscrolling. But there's plenty of productive work that we (human engineers) could be doing in that time, especially if we run coding agents in the background and parallelise them. Vibe Kanban lets you effortlessly spin up multiple coding agents. While some agents handle tasks in the background, you can focus on planning…

    Hey HN, This is my take on the agent harness. Everything on an isometric map. Agents are grouped into "buildings" that run in a sequence or a loop; e.g., the CodeForge has an agent that writes a PRD, another one that implements, and a third that reviews. Everything is customizable, you build your own buildings/teams however you want. It's a Tauri app, really light (about 8x less energy than the closest competitor I benchmarked, so it actually runs from a coffee shop on battery). It's macOS only for now, but ping me if you are willing to test the Windows or Linux version. I've been…

    Hi HN! We’re the team behind Fiddler, and we recently built an Agent Cache feature. It works by capturing an LLM request/response pair and, once caching is enabled, serving subsequent matching calls locally so duplicate requests never hit the provider. It’s meant to reduce three pains that show up together in agent development: token cost, feedback-loop latency, and output non-determinism. We’d love to hear your thoughts.

    Hi 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…

    Vibe 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:…

    We’ve been working on Scout QA, a tool that uses AI to catch subtle bugs that usually slip past manual testing and reviews. Instead of focusing on test automation, Scout analyzes your app’s UI, flows, and logs to surface tiny inconsistencies — things like broken states, unclear error messages, or small regressions that humans might ignore because “it still works.” The goal isn’t to replace testers but to act like an extra pair of curious eyes — pointing out issues that affect real users’ experience. We’re exploring questions like: - How can an AI develop an intuition for “something feels…

    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…
