I built two small products mostly using AI-assisted coding (plus a lot of manual glue work). One is Solo Launches, a Product Hunt–style platform for solo founders where you can launch your SaaS for free. I built it in ~15 days as a self-taught dev. It’s live, used by real users, and started making revenue recently (~$100+ in December, verifiable on TrustMRR). https://sololaunches.com While growing it, I focused a lot…

How do you get that nice UI?

I made 'Great Filter' - Chrome extension to filter content on social media based on custom instructions in natural language (using LLM). Supports HN, too! 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

Which LLM does this use? I'm guessing this sends client data to 3P servers?

https://www.pixelhook.app/ My friend vibe coded the entire app to generate thumbnails for YouTube videos.

Nothing against your friend but what a hellish product

It's hard to know whether the blame should lie with the friend or YouTube

I've made a few small projects that were built almost exclusively with Cursor (if that's considered vibe coding, I'm not sure). They don't have many users. https://spikelog.com https://runnem.com https://leveloh.com https://thefudgesisters.com https://hop.coffee I'm write a few articles here about tricks that work for me when it comes to AI assisted coding: https://foundinglean.substack.com

Getting users is the real challenge unfortunately! I'm experiencing the same with my trivia app.

I have a few vibe coded bots hanging around on discord and reddit that are helping out. One's posting cards for the game terraforming mars in response to users requesting it for example. They're appreciated by the community. It's simple but i wouldn't have bothered if it wasn't a 10minute "Hey Claude create a ..." job. Having programmed a Reddit bot back in 2014 for xwing miniatures it took me several days to create…

Yes, vibe coding is SO good for allowing programmers to write those scripts that would have been too tedious to do pre-2022.

I made one for myself (and my son, both type 1 diabetics) and decided that I might roll it into a possible possible product: https://carbcount.ai

Allows diabetics to easily get carb estimates for their meals by just snapping a picture. Free for now, would love some feedback.

I built the basic idea in like 2 days using Google Antigravity. It's all serverless on Google cloud run and uses Google for auth, doesn't store any data. MVP while I am working on the marketing and testing.

I used a similar concept I originally used to train my son (9yo) to be better at counting his carbs with a custom GPT. But that idea didn't work for others to use. Most people don't know what a 'custom GPT' is, so explaining it was difficult. Web-apps everyone gets, it has PWA support so you can save it as an 'app' on your phone.

I am a software engineer so it's already in my wheelhouse and it just costs me the tokens right now so it's cheap to run.

Would love feedback or questions if anyone wants to know more.

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…

Skidmarks club? Tell me you don't have a product person without telling me...

If by production you accept a new programming language than yes: https://github.com/pannous/goo (1% handwritten go extensions)

This is so ironic. Why would you add all these "features" to Go, if you're not interested in using the language at all?

Why would anyone grow flowers when they can't eat them
