I wrote Sum Buddy using a variety of AIs. Its a full featured AI spreadsheet. It started in Gemini's web interface and moved over to claude (which was a huge increase in capability). It has a bunch of paying customers now. https://sumbuddy.net

If by production you mean “done” and used by someone (i.e. by me) then I made https://skidmarks.club to replace my peloton subscription. You can browse and ride at https://app.skidmarks.club . I’ve done ~10 rides with it so far. Hoping I can convince my wife to use it and save myself $50 a month. That would be my most successful side project by a wide margin. There are probably a lot of examples like this. Vibe coded…

I was going to build this. Thanks for saving me the time!

Here is an web app that tracks the grocery prices of my shopping at Aldi. It is meant to track grocery price inflation over time. It is obviously limited and incomplete since it is just based on my haphazard Aldi shopping. It includes a "basket of goods" total for each quarter, graphs, product pages, etc. It is coded by an LLM (except for maybe the initial commit). I don't write or edit the code, but I do sometimes "…

Funny, i created an extension that does does something similar. I wanted to watch specific products at a grocery store that go on sale and look for the pattern. It opens page that has been flagged to watch and extracts data and then charts results for various things i want to track. It was more of a POC which has lead to some other data scraping apps i wanted. I am not a developer but know enough having worked around tech for awhile i can usually figure something out. claude has been amazing for me, especially since i can ask questions about its code/logic and learn as we go.

There's two main apps that I've built. It's been a hell of a journey but a fun one, I'll list them below, but the most fun was actually adding an "explore" feature to my site to make it a bit more fun and interactive over the christmas break - https://blazingbanana.com/ - I might keep it, might not but was cool to see what can be done in browser with WebGL.

https://blazingbanana.com/work/whistle - Whistle, which is a complete free, offline voice transcription app using whisper, available on all platforms, Linux, Mac, Windows (with CUDA builds), Android (and iOS as soon as my dev account goes through, who knew paying Apple £79 would be so hard!). To be honest the packaging part was probably the toughest bit and all the different ways each platform needs to build. - Probably my most "successful" one, at 450+ downloads on the Play store.

https://formait.app/ - Free offline document formatting using LLMs to take a load of unstructured notes and give you a nice PDF output. You can load any GGUF model you throw at it as it's implementing llama.cpp, but uses Phi-4 out the box. It's actually quite a useful combination with Whistle, so thinking of integrating voice to text in at some point. This is available on all platforms (except mobile) with CUDA builds available too.
