Spec Coding by Capacity
Vibe Coding with a planning assistant to build with clarity
In plain words
Spec Coding by Capacity is a development tool that helps builders plan applications before coding begins. Instead of jumping directly into building, it uses an AI assistant to ask clarifying questions and establish specifications upfront, creating structure that reduces later refactoring. Designed for developers and app builders who want clearer, more consistent results, the tool prioritizes planning to prevent messy, unfocused development and delivers better final outcomes.

Most AI app builders jump straight into building. That feels fast until your app gets messy, inconsistent, and nothing like what you imagined. Today, we’re introducing Spec Coding in Capacity. Instead of building immediately, Capacity now lets you define your app first with the help of an AI co-founder that asks the right questions before any code is generated. More structure upfront. Far less refactoring later. Much better results.

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
