I'm a dermatologist and I vibe coded a skin cancer learning app
Coded using Gemini Pro 2.5 (free version) in about 2-3 hours. Single file including all html/js/css, Vanilla JS, no backend, scores persisted with localStorage. Deployed using ubuntu/apache2/python/flask on a £5 Digital Ocean server (but could have been hosted on a static hosting provider as it's just a single page with no backend). Images / metadata stored in an AWS S3 bucket.
I'm a dermatologist and I vibe coded a skin cancer learning app launched on September 7, 2025 with 429 votes, #48 of 8,160 launches that month and more than 99% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.
In plain words
MoleCheck is a web-based learning application for studying skin cancer identification. Designed for dermatology students and professionals, it presents images of skin lesions with educational metadata to help users practice diagnostic skills. The app runs entirely in the browser as a single-file application, stores progress locally, and retrieves skin images from cloud storage. It requires no backend infrastructure and loads quickly on standard web servers.

Test how well you can recognise skin cancer. Real skin lesion photographs - decide whether each one is concerning, then get instant feedback. By Dr Magnus Lynch, Consultant Dermatologist and Mohs Surgeon, London.
Real skin lesion photographs. Would this one concern a dermatologist? Swipe left (concerned) or right (not concerned), or use the buttons - then see the answer. If you have found this quiz useful, please share it with others so they can learn how to recognise skin cancer. I am available for consultations at several sites in Central London. Some conditions such as acne and rosacea are also suitable for a remote consultation with photos. Either enter your details and my practice management team will contact you within 1 working day or use instant online booking. Alternatively you can call or email directly.

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

I made a built-from scratch Wayland Compositor to display any GUI app* in the terminal! I think there is a lot of unexplored potential in custom Wayland compositors, a lot of really cool things you can embed existing applications into! So, I started with embedding apps into the terminal because that is the easiest input/output (output is just utf-8 and I use the great `chafa` library for that, and I just read from stdin for the input). If you have any other ideas for cool Wayland compositors, let me know. I purposedly wrote 80% the app in Typescript to appeal to the most developers and…

Years ago I stumbled across a basic version of this concept and it stuck with me. I knew if I was ever going to take on such a project, it would need to be flawless, but without coding experience it was just another idea that would never happen. By the end of 2024, as AI coding tools exploded everywhere, I finally had a way to make it real. I started from zero knowledge and spent months collaborating with AI agents as a learning experience. Every pixel and every function went through me. The AI translated what I asked for into code, but every decision was human. I didn't use existing OS…
