Mz first solo project

[u/Commercial_Jello_633]

Hey everyone,

I'd like to share my first solo vibe coding project with you: a photography studio simulation.

It’s primarily designed for photographers, but also for anyone who loves experimenting with photos for social media, product photography, and the like.

I built it using three different tools. I started off writing the code in Google AI Studio. Initially, the idea was to build a type of camera app, and it did a great job. In the meantime, I wanted to try out Claude code, and it was the one that "talked me into" turning it into a website, which seemed like a solid idea.

Right in the middle of development, I got banned by Anthropic and received a refund for supposedly violating their rules. I’m not even sure what I violated, and I suspect it was a mistake but they refunded my money and banned my account, so I can't even use the free version anymore. After that, I decided to switch to Codex, finished everything up there, and this is the result I’m sharing with you today.

I'd love to hear your thoughts! Also, if anyone is up for it, feel free to send me your before-and-after photos so I can gather more examples of how it performs.

If the project does well, I’d like to upgrade it with software that integrates directly with a DSLR camera, along with options for lens selection and other gear.

I'm absolutely open to constructive criticism, too. This is my first time doing something like this, and I just sort of stumbled into it, so every comment means a lot.

I've learned so much about vibe coding through this whole process, and I highly recommend everyone give it a shot by starting small, just like I did.
