So cool - built-in internet and UPS :) wonder if it’d be very easy to use it as a remote webcam on a farm as a bit of a fun little project?

#32I just restyled a full saas app thats doing 50k in arr per month, bootstrapped. I already shipped it to production. A major UX/element/component overhaul. It looks 10x more professional. I did it this afternoon, sitting on my couch. I took a raw css/html assets from a very professional saas app, and gave it to claude code. I wrote no code, and did not even review the code.

I can't imagine ever voluntarily divulging this kind of thing to others. Anyways, drop a link so we can see what an afternoon of vibe coding is capable of.

#33Can you please explain why not solely Termux with nginx? I don't understand why Andronix or proot are needed. Actually for a static Website why not just https://f-droid.org/en/packages/net.basov.lws.fdroid/ or more modern https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.example.flutter_http_ser... ? Anyway glad you had fun.
> Can you please explain No, because they didn't program this or make these decisions, an LLM did.
I had a vision for a fun project, made decisions, tried to understand why to make certain decisions or what was working or not.
I didn't write the front page index.html and I don't want to. Sure, I prompted it how I wanted to look, though.
tl;dr I had fun and learned stuff.

> This field is truly on its way to full automation. What do you even mean by that? Full automation of irrelevant, simple as hell, saas apps? Maybe yes. Everything else that actually needs some thought? Nah, not happening anytime soon - given that no genius with a brand new architecture comes around tomorrow. LLMs just ain't getting any better really. It's just micro steps by now
"LLMs just ain't getting any better really. It's just micro steps by now"
The models itself, maybe yes. But the agents mixing model input and output with classical programming to achieve whatever you programm them to? That just has started to show it's potential.

Definitely, but with just standard playstore apps. You really can't get much hardware access from Andronix/Termux AFAIK so GPS, camera, etc don't work.

#36More like " Setting a static website on a budget Android phone ". Unsure where the vibe coding is relevant, and Walmart Phone is basically a placeholder.
Claude Code made the simple little home page and did much of the configuration of the system inside andronix. The phone is available at Walmart for $25.
Clause code is a saas no? None of the work happens on the local device. It's not like they got deepseek working on a smartphone... impressive as that might be

I mean, I can take the assets from very professional software and use that to make a clone even faster than one afternoon. Copying on disk is quick.

LLM inference is remote, yes, but tool calls happen locally on the device. So CC knows it has access to modify files, perform bash commands, etc.

> 50k in arr per month
Annual recurring revenue per month? Which is it

Because it's cooler setting it up on your own than having an app do it for you. (Could even skip Termux really.) And most importantly, this sets up a full Linux environment, which can be used from hosting a simple site to programming (even the site itself; don't know if that's what author did here or site was copied from their main system) and more.
The site was all "written" + configured on the device itself :-)
