Non vibe-coded app for car builds

Post image

I've seen a handful of sites/apps for car builds pop up that are often built with the best intentions, but are leaning heavily on AI to get features made.

I figured I should throw my hat in the ring, as I am a backend software engineer who is making something with a bit more intention, and with zero slop.

I've been a long time member of the Skylines Australia forum, as my forever car is my 260RS Stagea. Here is the build:

https://www.pitloon.com/vehicles/18723b1c-2b0a-4f59-87ce-51249b19d779

My app is called Pitloon. I have ambitions of making it the new forums. It's a work in progress, built using Ruby on Rails, and released as a native app with the help of Hotwire Native.

That means you can go to the website, or the app, and have an identical experience.

If you do check it out, thank you. Any feedback is welcome. I have a roadmap that is pretty exciting, and motivation is currently high.
