Ask HN: What are some impressive vibe coding projects?

Post by cauliflower99 » Mon, Oct 20, 2025, 11:03 AM UTC

I'm looking to create a list of projects that people have had success with, whether they are personal projects that have no financial incentive or projects that have made money.

I'm also looking for videos that document the project from start to finish. The youtube algorithm makes these videos quite difficult to find.

DOOMscroll[1] for sure! I still play it since hearing about it on HN.

I vibe-coded myself a flashcard app for latin phrases that I've used quite a lot. https://github.com/eliyastein/latin-learner

Claude and I created a Stock Ticker app for Windows. https://github.com/krypdoh/TCKR

This is cool!

Is there any functionality/usability reason you use this instead of an existing flashcard app like Anki?

I guess I just wanted to build my own, because my use case was really narrow and I knew it wouldn't take a lot of time. Guaranteed to not have any ads and trackers. Also needed an excuse to fully take github copilot's agentic coding for a spin.

Anki doesn't have any ads or trackers either btw.

I created a pytorch extension using AI generated code. It wasn’t really created solely off of vibes though as I put significant effort into designing the architecture and all the features, but I had Claude Code write all of the code.

I've been building https://smartrik.com which is heavily vibe coded. The entire platform is built out but far from production-ready. Prompts were very compartmentalized and specific so it hasn't been a high level "I want X, build Y" chain of commands, but manually written code has been minimal.
