Apart from the AI chain, who is benefiting from the explosion of vibecoded slop project?

I can think of domain registrars and entry-level VPS hosters (non-Hyperscaler)

Who else? Asking from a investment perspective.

I've been working on a beautiful markdown reader for the terminal.

It uses the kitty graphics protocol to render big headings. It works by loading your file into scrollback and using apple events to jump around scrollback rather than re-rendering the section you want so it feels like reading a pdf in your terminal.

Ghostty + macos atm, but might expand to other terminals supporting kitty.

I've been working on AuthProxy, an open source embedded integration-platform-as-a-service. It has an embedded connector marketplace that lets you connect to 3rd party systems, then provides a proxy that handles the credentials automatically. Been working on it for a couple of years and in the last month or so have been trying it out to build an MCP gateway for some internal tooling.

Could we compare this to HN growth?

Working on a natural language intelligence layer for contacts - "Pull everyone I know who works at a Series A healthtech in the Bay Area who also went to Stanford for ungrad" => either structured or unstructured results. Large-scale data support, automatically enriched with up-to-date data, fast/accurate results. Integrates natively with Gmail and Gcal.

Looking to pilot for free with small qualified teams (early-stage startups with real/immediate need).

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Your game is good bro, I think there is a real audience out there for this game.

ok, may I ask who are they ?

Skald sold well which is stylistically very similar, and this has a slightly more popular confluence of genres.
