#62I was hoping this was the opposite of a creators platform - a social media users platform. Download all social media to one place (stories/posts) where you can view on your own schedule.
Is there anything like that out there?

You can build one in three weeks with Claude. I'm not joking - you'll have energy for side projects you never had before, and you'll finish them.

I'm taking the submission as: if you've got an idea, here's some methods to work build something.
I have a few ideas if my own, perhaps yours is something that could be created.

Same. I was hoping for this. As much as social media frustrates me, the content can be great at times. I want an aggregation tool where I have strict control on the output. Give me the content minus the addictive never ending scroll with inflammatory posts. Basically, I want a benevolent curation of media on my terms.

#66I am genuinely in the "target market" for a tool such as this, but having evaluated one previously I found the quality and self-hosting experience to be pretty bad, and that a proprietary freemium product was still a better experience. I'm hesitant to even take a look at this project due to the whole "vibe coded in 3 weeks" thing, though. Hearing that says to me that this is not serious or battle-tested and might go…
The era of sharing some small programs that you made with others to benefit from is over imo. You can just vibe code it yourself. If your requirements are narrower (eg. you only need support for 3 networks and not 12), you will end up with something that takes less time to develop (possibly less than a day), it will have a smaller surface for problems, and it will be much better tailored to your specific needs. If yo…

+1.
The password manager I use full time now is “Kenpass”, which has exactly one user: me. I have it on iOS/macOS/Linux, browser extensions, CLI and (native, no electron) UI for each, syncs with my homelab server over my wireguard tunnel, and it covers all my use cases. Took me maybe a week (a few hours total, spread around.) I feel no reason to share it with anyone, it does exactly what I need and I only need to fix the bugs I find, for myself.
We’re really living in crazy times.
> If you pay attention to what the LLM is doing it will also be easier to maintain or extend further
That's another nice part: I actually really enjoy feng-shui refactoring code to fit my tastes, and I've given the LLM's code a bunch of refactoring passes essentially "just for fun". I understand the codebase enough that sometimes I implement features myself instead of having the LLM do it, if I'm in the mood to. But I'd probably never have the time or energy to start such a project from scratch... having the initial MVP done in essentially one shot was a huge boost.

#67Just curious. Why Python? Why not say, Go or TypeScript? Yes you can make TypeScript server rendered too without React stuffs.

I see your point. Last time I “vibe coded” something (internal) and I liked it because I couldn’t find external solution. I admire coders who can finish their code into deliverable and usable piece. Issue here is software abundance and ppl will start to hesitate due to absurd pile that they should evaluate. It reminds me the statistics of ice cream global sales. People want certainty so they choose chocolate or vanil…
i think we need to encode (or refine) what we mean by “vibe code.” my original impression was that it was used to describe the process whereby someone with an idea but lacking development/engineering skills leveraged llm via an agent to create the mechanics to bring their idea to fruition. anymore it seems like if it has the hint of AI then it’s “vibe coded.”
ironically, i didn’t read the article because i come to comments now to see if its been identified as AI slop, so i don’t know which area this falls into

> The surface for security vulnerabilities also gets narrower, since you "only" have to trust the LLM (which is still a huge ask, but still better than LLM + 1 random person).
On top of which, any such vulnerabilities will be mostly low value: n different implementations, each with their own idiosyncrasies, 90% of them serving one person.

Lots and lots of commercial software is being vibe coded. Big difference here is that at least the OP honest about it.
I think our industry really needs to get on top of terms / names and fast. To me, “vibe coded” means “100% (or close to it) of this was written by LLM and I do not have a slightest clue about technology or hacking or anything related to this domain.” if this is the case here (or anywhere else) I am not touching it with a 10-foot pole (even with honesty of the author). something like “LLM assisted” would be a whole other thing.
