I vibe-coded myself a flashcard app for latin phrases that I've used quite a lot. https://github.com/eliyastein/latin-learner

Very nice. On my end, I vibe coded a daily newsletter that sends me a short text in Latin each day that describes an event that happened on that day in history.

I created a website and mobile app to display all the coffee shops in the state of Minnesota. It's a .Net Core MVC website and React Native mobile app that is pretty much entirely vibe coded. I've had fun with building the data loaded, website and mobile app via Claude Code from VS Code. However, I didn't find building the project as enjoyable as actual coding myself. The code is a mess and is definitely overengineer…

Cool project! One suggestion: your “open now” toggle is confusing. I can’t tell what state it’s in without relying on inspecting one of the aggregates decreasing from 7 to 6. Use a non-color visual indicator (icons or words).

Ooh, good call. Thank you.

Interesting 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.

> I think Claude Code itself is mostly vibe coded

What definition of "vibe coding" are you using here? I seriously doubt Claude Code was made "mostly" (or even "partly") by telling a prompt what they want, and accepting the output when it looks functionally acceptable without regard to how the code looks or works under the hood.

... Which is what "vibecoding" is.

Vibecoding != AI assisted/agentic coding

I don't know if or how you've been using AI for coding, but Claude Code is almost certainly being used to develop itself, and I have a hard time imagining their devs not having the best setup possible to make it as easy as possible for Claude Code to iterate on itself with minimal oversight. Once a codebase is well structured and you supply a well thought out meta prompt with something like CLAUDE.md, then there's no reason to check the code output/changes beyond a quick skim.

k again... "Using Claude Code" is not the same thing as vibecoding.
