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
Aggregator for finding things to do with kids in Finland.
At a family gathering was asking a relative how his beginner level programming course was going. Was blown away to learn that he had just vibed this and now had already a steadily increasing stream of traffic. I had already used it myself.
My friend created an iPhone app that controls a set of MCP servers that will control all the smart things in his house. Completely vibe coded. The servers are in Python, which he can read but not really write, and the app is in Swift, which he doesn't understand at all. https://github.com/adrianco/c11s-house-ios
MCP to turn on a light bulb?
Most of it was written by Claude Code. It even created the extension's logo (in SVG). Link: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/great-filter/mbifgf... Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s50bI_O5tps
Keep in mind that a lot of vibe-coded software is flying under the radar because it’s being built to replace SaaS and bring workflows in-house. We often judge success by public launches or ARR, but the real "killer app" for this methodology right now is internal tooling for small teams. For example, instead of spending developer bandwidth integrating Salesforce into first-party data, teams are increasingly just vibe-…
I’ve built and launched numerous SaaS products (which have paying customers) which were almost entirely built usibg AI agents including https://securitybot.dev and https://dependencydesk.com . My experience so far has been if you possess both deep domain-specific experience and significant coding experience then these coding LLMs, and most notably Opus 4.5, are the greatest productivity booster in the world.

This is a strange space in software. I have a tiny tissue culturing lab in my home and wanted to manage media batches and their ingredients, cultures using the batches of media, inventory for media ingredients, and general inventory for running things. Cleaning, cutting, measuring, etc. I couldn't find anything which would allow me to keep stock of what I've got in the structure I needed, let alone while also project…
You're doing tissue culture at home?! That's impressive. I imagine you've got some background in bio - what projects are you working on?
I culture plants which are popular in aquariums and terrariums. It's a nice way to get a break from software and science where I spend my days, get my hands dirty, enjoy refining different skills, make some money, and meet different types of people.

Tissue culture is a thing in the Cannabis world for efficiently reproducing and storing different varieties. I think it can also be used to create non-infected plants from plants infected with hop latent viroid. I think the main issue is maintaining sterile conditions but its doable.
The technique for creating clean plants from infected plants is really cool and remarkably simple. You typically take tissue from the part of the plant called the meristem, where cells are actively dividing and less likely to be infected, then rapidly disinfect and transfer the tissue to a sterile culture.
It seems like it should be such a sophisticated and complex process, but all you're doing is cutting a chunk of fresh cells out and popping it into some goo where it can continue to grow.
Extracting meristem tissue is usually the only difficult part. They can be extremely tiny. It takes a sharp eye and very steady hands. I've only done it for practice, never out of necessity. I'm pretty bad at it.
It seems kind of like magic if you ignore the biologal machinery. It makes perfect sense why it works, yet it's also absolutely crazy that it does.
I have found that the initial specs only go so far; as I use, "what's missing" becomes clearer.
Workflow is build -> checkin to git -> build container -> deploy to Cloud Run. I have a number of instructions for Claude for logs, frontend, backend, logging etc. based on my past experience. Note that I am mostly a backend developer (AWS, Azure, GCP); I can't code frontend to save my life and on that front, the agents are helping me realize ideas rapidly.
