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 overengineered and hard to read. I have had to consistently fix bugs and calibrate my prompts so the machine could produced the features that I was trying to create.

Another thing I learned is to commit early and often. Then create PRs to check what code was updated as things got away from me quickly without me knowing or asking the machine to do the thing it did. A few times entire sections of code were removed that had nothing to do with the feature I was working on. Being able to go back to the previous working commit probably saved me hours.

Vibe coding an entire project was a good experience. There's a lot to learn and focus on the next time I go this route.

Here 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.

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).

Claude and I (mostly Claude) built a web app for lawyers that uses Gemini to extract (and calculate, where necessary) court dates and deadlines from a PDF scheduling order and output them in a structured format. The user can then select which ones they want to add to their calendar and generate an ICS file to add all case dates/deadlines at once. https://www.courtsynccalendar.com/

how many users do you have?

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.

How would people know if someone else's project was vibe-coded?

Sometimes that will be in the readme, but there's no reason it has to be. And most people aren't going to be checking anyways.

I created DecayBlock, mainly to help people stay focussed online but also to teach myself JavaScript.

I've been using it for the past few months and it's massively boosted my productivity.

Only a handful! I am a terrible marketer and have no idea how to promote things.

I submitted and reply to "Ask HN: What are you working on? (October 2025)" thread 7 days ago and receive out-of-expectation response. So, I will put my project here. Not totally vibe code, I prefer the term AI-assisted.

I'm currently building my own coding agent, VT Code. VT Code is a Rust-based terminal coding agent with semantic code intelligence via Tree-sitter (parsers for Rust, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Go, Java) and ast-grep (structural pattern matching and refactoring).

It supports multiple LLM providers: OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, DeepSeek, Gemini, OpenRouter, Z.AI, Moonshot AI, all with automatic failover, prompt caching, and token-efficient context management. Configuration occurs entirely through vtcode.toml, sourcing constants from vtcode-core/src/config/constants.rs and model IDs from docs/models.json to ensure reproducibility and avoid hardcoding.

Recently I've added Agent Client Protocol (ACP) integration. VT Code is now a fully compatible ACP agent, works with any ACP-clients: Zed (first-class support), Neovim, marimo notebook. [3]
