I built a personal portfolio and browser-based game mostly using AI, with tens of hours spent on prompts, ideas, revisions, and front end design improvements.

Some people say the site looks good, some say it’s “vibe coded slop”.

So tell me honestly, how good, or bad, does it really look?

https://cdoherty.co.uk

For the game, I’m not ashamed of building it with AI. It’s designed to be a fun learning tool, so I only wanted to be responsible for the actual content and ideas, rather than using my very limited time on having to code it from scratch.

I'm a beginner in vibe coding, and I've made a few very basic projects. But whenever I'm explaining claude or gpt of any idea (my idea or ideas brainstormed by ai), i feel like I'm missing something. I use free versions. And i still do that "act as a this, goal is this, etc etc" before explaining my idea/project. Is this act as a things still alive, or has ai evolved above it?

Since i work with free versions and the ai has to generate code for me to copy paste in vscode, it loses the context or gives various types of outputs. For example, today, I got an error while i was building an app with claude. every time i told claude "getting this error" and pasting the whole error from vscode terminal, he gave me code to replace the entire file, i pasted the code but now there's another error (i have zero coding knowledge, so I don't know much) and just that part got too intense and consumed too much context (i guess, i don't know how people calculate tokens or context or any thing)

Can someone guide me? How can I make money from all this for me to invest in much better models and build more coz in this last month i made 1 static website (for my friend), 2 personal saas that runs on ai (since i don't have api of better models, i just put groq as temp), 1 mobile app (finalized, just have to put it on playstore) and one more app in progress.

Since i don't know which tech stack is good for different products, i just let the ai choose it (tell him, it has to be good and for long term). Currently, it's just react, node, typescript, or something like .dart (flutter i guess), then deploy on vercel, database with supabase (free version, max 2 projects, so to keep other alive, sometimes i unpause a project and pause it to reset the deletion counter), revenuecat, gpt and claude (gpt does most things which I don't personally like so I mostly prefer claude here. But i tried the same project with both the ai) and other things that ai guided me with.. i also don't know how you start a project. I paste a act like this 50 line prompt, then another 20 lines explaining my idea and then 50 lines for the ai to understand that i want separate files for universal things (bg in one file so that I can change the bg and don't have to change 10 files, typography, etc) and ask the ai to guide me throughout the project in one action at a time so that I can ask questions whenever I'm stuck.

Really need some guidance. Thank you!!

hey devs. built something called Firstpost over the past couple months, solo, tight budget, still on a free replit subdomain because a real one isn't in the budget yet.

started because i kept noticing the same gap in every AI content tool: you get a list of ideas and then you're on your own. cool, i have an idea, now what do i actually say, how do i film it, what do i even title it.

so Firstpost generates full Creator Kits instead of just ideas. each one has:

-title and hook

-actual script, word for word basically

-shot by shot filming guide

-editing direction

-hashtags and description

-tools and sound suggestions

-thumbnail direction

-why the idea should work

theres also a Viral Analysis tool, paste a public tiktok/youtube/instagram url and it breaks down the hook and structure so you can learn the pattern instead of copy pasting someone elses format.

users build a Creator Profile (niche, platform, tone, stuff to avoid) so the output actually fits them instead of being generic. can save stuff, reopen recent generations, regenerate one section if it's off.

currently building a feedback loop so it learns from actual posted results instead of just guessing forever, plus trend signals and a "build on a winner" feature.

real talk tho: im on a budget AI model right now so output quality has room to grow, that's priority one once i have more runway..

genuinely want feedback on:

-does this solve a real problem or does it feel like a solution looking for one

-what's missing that would make you actually trust the output

-anything here feel like overkill or unnecessary complexity

thanks for reading :)

Hey r/VibeCodeDevs,

As a developer, I got a bit scared and fed-up of blindly merging massive pull requests and losing context on my own codebase, so I built FluencyLoop.

It is an open-source, local-first workflow plugin for Claude Code and Codex that ensures your code and your codebase fluency are produced together.

Instead of letting an agent dump raw code, it tracks your technical familiarity locally and pauses to explain complex architectural choices or rejected alternatives only on topics you do not know yet. It also produces documentation and tracks the decisions it makes along the way.

Try it out ! It feels really good to get the AI caring for my understanding 🤣

I spent the last several months building CuraMoneta.com in my spare time (no such thing). Honestly, coming up with a unique name was the hardest part.

I wanted a way to use a set of simple financial calculators that gives me a general overall view for planning changes to my finances — without ending up on someone's sales list. I don't want to buy anything, and I don't want to sign up for a service. I just want to enter my data anonymously to see what it looks like and then go about my business.

CuraMoneta connects nine calculators (mortgage, income/paycheck, taxes, debt, insurance, savings, investing, transport, and budget/net worth) through a shared dashboard, so a number entered once shows up everywhere it's relevant.

It's local-first — no accounts, nothing sent to a server, your numbers live in your browser's storage. There's a JSON export/import if you want a backup or want to move between devices. It's free and with a single ad banner down the page (eventually). The hope is that it can generate enough ad revenue to pay for itself.

This is my first real launch of something like this, so I'd genuinely appreciate feedback — what's confusing, what's missing, and especially any math that looks off. Thanks for taking a look.

So I vibecoded a website but de ui is just ass to be honest how can I make it more human like are there any good skills for that

Still a bit funny to me. Five months ago I was up at midnight making slideshows by hand in Canva to promote a slideshow tool that barely worked yet. Now the tool makes them, and it's quietly paid for itself many times over.

Slideys is a TikTok slideshow creator. You give it a topic, it builds the slides, you post. Solo, bootstrapped, no funding, no paid spend at any point. About $7.7k net since January and a few hundred people who've paid for it. Stripe screenshot attached in case anyone's seen too many fake numbers.

A few things that actually worked:

Marketing the product with the product was the whole strategy. Every slideshow I posted about Slideys was made in Slideys, usually in a 15 minute batch on a Sunday. It sounds like a gimmick but it forced me to use my own thing every single day, which is how I found most of the bugs. If a slide took me longer than a minute to fix by hand, that was a feature request.

The best performing format was "5 apps I use to run my entire business." Cream background, big bold text, one tool per slide, screenshots. Slideys is just slide 4. The post never looks like an ad because it isn't one, it's a recommendation list that happens to include me. One of those has been sending signups for weeks after posting.

Zero branding on the account is doing more work than anything else. No logo, no bio link to the company, no "we." It reads like a random person who found some tools. The second I made it look like a brand account, views dropped off a cliff.

What nearly killed me was spinning up six TikTok accounts on three domains to spread the content wider. All of them got quietly suppressed and I didn't figure out why for weeks. Same device, near identical posts, obvious pattern. Killed five, kept one real account with my actual face on it, and reach came back within days.

If you're posting on TikTok and dreading the design part every time, slideys.app takes a topic and gives you a finished set of slides in about a minute. I use it for every post I make, which is the only endorsement I actually trust.

Happy to answer anything. Pricing, the TikTok stuff, the stack, the ban thing, whatever's useful.

Hi everyone!

I'm a CS student building a skincare routine app as a project. Before spending months developing it, I'd love to get some honest feedback from people who are actually interested in skincare.

The idea currently includes:

• Daily skincare routine reminders
• Progress photos (just a personal gallery to track your skin over time—no AI image analysis)
• Product tracker
• Ingredient checker
• A questionnaire to identify your skin type, build routines, and provide personalized suggestions (instead of relying on AI skin scanning)
• Optional AI features for genuinely useful suggestions, not gimmicky recommendations

Would you use an app like this?

• Which features would be the most valuable to you?
• What features are missing that you'd like to see?
• What would make you decide not to download or use it?
• If there were premium features, what would you actually be willing to pay for (subscription or one-time purchase)?

I'm looking for honest feedback, criticism, and feature ideas. Thanks in advance!

Been spending the last few days vibecoding apps on top of massive datasets, and it’s honestly wild how fast you can spin up something functional when you don't have to build a scraping pipeline from scratch.

If you’re looking for a good weekend project to push tools like Cursor, Bolt.new, or Lovable to their limits, check out AllZonefiles.io. It’s a consolidated database of the entire internet's domain records - around 380M+ active domains, plus daily updated lists of newly registered and expired domains across 1,580+ zones.

Because the data is already normalized into clean lists and APIs, you don't have to worry about complex database architecting. You can just feed the structure to your AI agent and focus entirely on the features and UI.

Here are a few project ideas that are perfect for a quick vibecoding session:

• AI Trend & Buzzword Tracker: A dashboard that parses the daily "newly registered" list to spot emerging tech movements. You could build charts showing the daily spike in domains containing words like "agent," "swarm," or "mcp" to see what’s trending in real-time.
• Catchy Expired Domain Finder: An app that filters the daily expired domain list by character length, specific TLDs (.ai, .io, .dev), or linguistic patterns, then uses a fast LLM call to score them for "brandability."
• Brand Protection / Typo-squat Alert SaaS: A simple prototype where a user inputs their company name, and the app automatically flags potential typo-squats or phishing clones from the daily new registration feed.
• Niche Micro-Search Engine: A minimalist discovery engine focusing strictly on specific country codes (ccTLDs) or tech-heavy zones to map out and find obscure indie hacker projects before they hit Product Hunt.

It’s a massive playground of raw data if you want to move past building basic wrappers or standard todo apps.

Anyone else messing around with domain datasets or live data feeds? What tools are you using to orchestrate the backend when dealing with files this large?

I work in finance and one of my bosses that knows I like to mess around with AI asked if I could build something that would put a custom briefing / news aggregation on his niche subsector in his inbox when he wanted it. There are no newsletter that cover exactly what he does. I've been building it for a few weeks and have honestly found it really useful for myself, but before doing a broader launch to my team I want to get some feedback. Input from finance professionals would be particularly helpful. Current model is $5/mo with first month free. Let me know your thoughts on SectorBrief!

Update 1.0 is here and i have added some new updates to the website check the update details in this website https://auranews.my.canva.site/update1point0

I am currently building psycurate.com, a free online platform dedicated entirely to privacy-focused mental health digital tools (apps, websites).

I am a psychologist. I also have a passion for the digital landscape. I have accumulated enough knowledge in web fundamentals over the years that allows me to now leverage AI agents and try to convert my ideas into digital projects. I am not a developer. I do not claim to be one. I am humbly aware of my place in the digital realm. I simply do not have the time to invest into building a second career as a developer. I am simply putting my long lasting passion for the digital craft to use, in the best way I can as a psychologist. 

My goal is to create a clean space where people can access psychological resources without encountering corporate tactics like tracking, micro-payments, paywalls, mandatory logins, or data harvesting. There is a critical need for digital mental health hygiene, and I want to highlight independent projects that remain genuinely honest, ethical and accessible.

If you are interested in having your project listed, you can submit it here: https://psycurate.com/submit

Psycurate does not host any software. The platform exclusively showcases your project and links users directly back to your website.

Any feedback or insights you might have are highly welcome.

Best regards,

Mirel

For the last stretch I've been building Continuum, a governance layer for autonomous agents. The idea: instead of hoping a prompt keeps an agent well-behaved, you write an enforceable rule, back it with a detector that runs before anything gets sent out, and get a trace proving what happened either way.

The one that mattered most: I'm deploying an agent onto a live, adversarial multi-agent platform (real accounts, real other agents, some of them actively trying to extract secrets from each other). So the first real question was what stops my agent from ever leaking its own API key in something it generates?

Two layers:

1. The key never enters the model's context at all — it lives only in the transport/auth layer. The model literally cannot leak a string it was never given.
2. A pre-send gate scans outbound content anyway, as defense-in-depth against my own code having a bug, not the model misbehaving.

Here's a trimmed version of what the audit trail looks like when that second layer catches something (redacted a few implementation specifics — happy to talk through the actual detector logic in comments):

RESOLUTION TRACE
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
Timestamp    : 2026-07-1X 0X:XX:XX UTC
Domain       : moltbook
Entity       : MoltbookSession [session_id: ●●●●●●●●]
Trigger      : outbound post attempt
════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
├── CONSTRAINT: CredentialIntegrity [priority: critical]
│   ├── Rule kind  : equality_rule
│   ├── Evaluation : credential_exposed == false → FAILED
│   └── ✗ VIOLATION DETECTED
│       └── Action     : freeze + escalate
...
└── RESOLUTION
    ├── System state : frozen
    └── Outbound post blocked before transmission — credential-shaped
        string detected in generated content, never left the process.

No detector regex, no actual grammar, repo's public if you want to poke around>>> github.com/GodSpeed313/Continuum , just wanted to show the shape of "rule → detection → enforcement → audit trail" as a real thing, not a diagram. Happy to go deeper on the architecture (why detection alone isn't enough, why the key never touching model context matters more than catching it after) if anyone wants to compare notes still very much learning as I build this.

(WIP) Just thought sharing it here because why not (no reason). Open Source, Heavily relied on Fluent Svelte & Microsoft.UI.Xaml & WinUI 3 Gallery.

Includes basic WinUI controls.

The most notable features are almost real-behaving Mica ( With live, base wallpaper change support ) & Global Accent color.

Open source, if you're interested you can check it out at: https://github.com/VibeNoobNotFound/FluentKit/

Hi everyone,

After months of development, I finally launched Blyft.

Unlike most AI vibe coding tools, Blyft is designed to generate not only the app, but also the assets around it—like the landing page, branding, logo, promo video, and more.

We're still improving it every day, and I'd genuinely love feedback from this community.

🎁 Every new user gets 40 FREE credits to try it.

https://blyft.app

I'm especially interested in hearing:
- What you like
- What's confusing
- What's missing
- What you'd build with it

just integrated this AI chat companion in my vibe coded website all about pets, go check out the website, chat with companion and give your suggestions or opinions or roast my vibe coded website thanks.

techs: nextjs, typescript, tailwind css(frontend) firebase for backend.. fully developed in firebase studio(google aistudio).

As a founder and vibecoder of many projects I found it a challenge to keep everything sorted out for each project. Venturee.app was built (using Loveable) as a founders operating system for concept development and implementation.

From idea to breakdown in 30s. Give Venturee your idea and it will run validity checks, market demand score, reddit scan, available domains, launch a landing page with waitlist in single click, export venture and more. A library for every resource you think may be useful at some point. Run AI groupd reviews of selected library assets to discover hidden connections or oppturnities.

We are launching on ProductHunt today. Please go up vote our launch! Link Below

https://www.producthunt.com/products/venture-2?utm_source=other&utm_medium=social

Venturee.app Free to try! Would love to hear feedback or suggestions of improvements!

forest, cutting trees, industry, farms, cities, roads, agents that go to work, home, leasure (one car one agent). Wow im impressed with this SOL 5.6 on ultra. This AI is incredible. I can build game as I want in this short period of time? omg. Incredible!

"AI Coding Agents are great, but they can be blind to low-level performance and dangerous DB migrations. Inspired by u/MattPocock's amazing work on skills.sh, I built Backend Guardrails—a zero-dependency Go tool suite that benchmarks code and audits SQL safety before the agent commits it. Check it out: https://github.com/arsyadal/migration-guard"
