    I built an app to stop that mini heart attack you get when you realize you’ve lost code. It's called Vibe Backup, and it's made just for us. It automatically saves versions of your Vibe Coding projects in the background. Think of it as a simple time machine for your code. It works great with Git—saving a snapshot after each commit—and has a hotkey for those "hold my beer" moments before a big refactor. Restoring is just a click. Key features: Trigger backups instantly with KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS — without leaving your IDE. Set it and FORGET IT — Schedule backups on a flexible timer or…

    It 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?

    I got tired of sharing AI demos with terminal screenshots or screen recordings. Claude Code already stores full session transcripts locally as JSONL files. Those logs contain everything: prompts, tool calls, thinking blocks, and timestamps. I built a small CLI tool that converts those logs into an interactive HTML replay. You can step through the session, jump through the timeline, expand tool calls, and inspect the full conversation. The output is a single self-contained HTML file — no dependencies. You can email it, host it anywhere, embed it in a blog post, and it works on mobile. Repo:…

    Hi 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…

    Did you know Claude Code deletes your session data after 30 days? I found out the hard way when I tried to check my spending history. My session files hit 3GB (2000+ files) and existing tools took 40+ seconds. Rewrote it in Rust with simd-json + rayon. - First run: ~1s (vs 40s+) - Daily use: ~0.04s (1000x faster, cached) - TUI dashboard with daily/weekly/monthly breakdown - Supports Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI - Persistent cache — history survives even after CLI deletes files GitHub: https://github.com/mag123c/toktrack Feedback welcome!

    Hey HN — Been deep in vibe coding with AI tools like Cursor and Windsurf — but sometimes, AI edits don’t go as planned. You hit revert… and only some files roll back, or your repo ends up in a weird state. Especially messy when you’ve got multiple chats open and you're mid-flow. So I built YOYO — a lightweight version control layer for the fast, chaotic phase of coding where you're exploring, iterating, and letting AI throw stuff at your repo. It works across Cursor, Windsurf, and VSCode — wherever you’re coding with AI right now. Not trying to replace Git. Git’s great when you’re ready to…

    Like 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.

    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…

    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.

    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…

    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…

    It is a fork of https://github.com/DenisSergeevitch/desktop-fly, but with an important update. Now the fly can pick up the scent of the codebase with its neurons and fly straight to the source code of your B2B AI SaaS startup. It has learned to scan its surroundings for agent markers: AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, .cursor/rules, .kiro/steering, and forty others. Anything on the screen that points to these markers becomes a source of the scent - an editor window with an open project, a line in Finder, or a desktop icon. An open project reeks the strongest, while a closed…
