#32Here is my personal project that tracks my Aldi grocery prices of products over time. My rule for the project is, all code must be done by the Copilot agent within VSCode. I did hand type the Git commits. https://aldi-prices.lawruk.com/ https://github.com/jimlawruk/aldi-prices
Great tool!

#33DOOMscroll[1] for sure! I still play it since hearing about it on HN. [1] https://ironicsans.ghost.io/doomscrolling-the-game/
Fun!

#34I've done quite a few projects with ChatGPT. I just can't vibe (no pun intended) with any of the agent tools or AI plugins etc. Also not having to worry about API costs is the main reason so I can be as spammy as I like.
Site for a drum and bass community. Isn't quite there but nearly - test.dnbfamily.com - EDIT: This is best viewed on a mobile at the moment
Completely vibe coded local LLM note formatter (I broke the latest release, need to fix) - https://formait.app/

C# app that monitors trading performance of CTrader, locks down the application if your PNL goes too high or low (configurable) so that you don't lose all your money when you're tilted. Built for a friend that does a fair amount of trading.
So many little scripts and stuff for personal or work projects.

What are you trying to learn from the videos?

#35Not so much project as task, but I have been really happy with "vibe coding" to fix my production crashes. In some cases these crashes are impossible for me to reproduce as a solo, and I trusted the fixes provided by codex which seemed to have worked based on the absence of these crashes now.
Maybe more suitable for a vibe debugging addendum.

#36I don't really have anything substantial (outside of some one-shot CLI tools, etc.) since I subscribe to the strict definition of vibe coding as a form of "coding behaviorism" (per Karpathy's original tweet).
However, Piece Together [1] is a large game that I made a few months ago with a decent amount of agentic tooling (RooCode and Claude Code). It lets players solve animated forms of jigsaw puzzles.

#37Interesting that this thread mostly consists of people sharing vibe-coded projects they themselves made, not people sharing other people’s projects that they’ve found useful. The latter would provide higher confidence that the project is actually impressive. It’s the IKEA effect for software.
I think Claude Code itself is mostly vibe coded if you consider that impressive. In general I’m not aware of any vibe coded projects with a substantial amount of iteration put into it rather than being close to one shot, which is why I shared mines. Any project someone can one shot is also something anyone else can vibe code for themselves.

#38I built a pretty janky self-hostable version of https://archive.org called Arker. It's open source here: https://github.com/hackclub/arker
It's hosted at https://archive.hackclub.com. You can see a sample archived page here: https://archive.hackclub.com/lX1mm.
It's archived about 22k links so far and hasn't crashed yet!

#39https://github.com/HowProgrammingWorks/UUID/ My programming teacher has created his own LLM-assisted UUID implementation to achieve a balance between the time to generate and the bit depth. If I understand correctly this ID implementation consumes the least time per 1 bit of entropy among all JS implementations. It is known that the technical task was three times longer than the code and the code has been generated with just one attempt. The teacher has not modified the output.

#40I created an inventory program for my wife, who is an artist. There is a lack of tools that can help an artist manage their practice. I actually started it nearly a year ago cycling between all of the free services, switching when I ran out of quota. I got something basic, usable, and extremely poorly designed out of it but it worked for the purpose and was a fun experiment.
Last week I spent two days with Claude Code and was able to clean it up substantially, add a bunch of features and make it really useful. It's nice to be able to encounter a problem, write up a clear description, and have a working feature in less than an hour!
(aside) It's super important for an artist to keep track of their works, prices and where they are and as they get into the hundreds, it's impossible to untangle if you lose track. Also not all galleries are totally upfront and you often need to detect yourself that a piece has been sold and request your money since most sell on consignment.
Initially I built only the most basic features: paintings list with filter/search plus detail/edit, and galleries list with associated paintings and sold/unsold. At that point the app was too complex for the tools of last year to effectively build further.
In the last couple of days I added multi-currency, standardized pricing, exhibit details. Also the most important one, quick selections which are important for proposals, etc, together with a tidy little excel export and web-optimized image export for the selection.
It's been a fun project! I haven't released it yet but am considering it as a side project since I don't think the artist community is likely to buy tools like this in substantial numbers, unfortunately.
I also used CC to put together a static website[1] for my wife which I'm quite happy with. It was decent in one shot and basically done in a few hours!
