https://github.com/haydenk/overseer - a Go port of foreman

https://github.com/haydenk/homestead - another Go project, working on a better uptime dashboard that can also be the main homepage for accessing homelab resources.

I also used AI to find and create issues and milestones to for me to get the project to 1.0.0

I vibe coded myself a simple little Home Screen-installable webapp that tells me when my first meeting is the next day (I am in a lot of meetings, and they're constantly in flux). That way, I don't need to be logged into anything work-related on my phone, or even mentally engage in that world. I just want to know when I need to wake up. All it shows me is the time, and I can tap on it if I want to see the title. It adjusts the font and color according to how early the meeting is (earlier than 8a gets Nosifer).

Could I have done this myself? Of course. Would I have tho? Prob not.

This kind of simple, hyper-specific bespoke utility is the perfect thing for vibe coding IMO.

I use agents to do most of the tedious admin for my hire business, and I built www.vessels.app to run them on the go because there was no native solution to talk to my agents. I’ve started working towards releasing this to the public because it’s so much better than setting up agents via telegram or slack.

Wow okay to everyone trying to sign up - I forgot to turn off the rate limiter. It’s off now you can sign up to try it out
