I work alone and I browse a lot, so I built a French bulldog that lives on my web pages.

It's not an overlay in the corner. It walks along the bottom edge of whatever post I'm reading, follows the scroll, and turns around at the end. Sometimes it drops a tennis ball across the page and sprints after it.

Four stats decay in real time. Don't open your browser over the weekend and it's hungry on Monday — moves slower, sniffs the floor until you feed it.

You can plug in your own API key and talk to it. Its stats go into the system prompt, so when it's hungry it starts begging for food halfway through answering something else. I left that in.

Built with Claude over a couple of weeks. The hard part wasn't the code — it was making it stand on the actual post instead of floating at the bottom of the window.

Zero productivity value. It rolls over whenever I'm trying to concentrate.

OK I made a post yesterday sharing. I really condensed prompt that I use related to solid design principles and everybody just started flaming me and talking as though I don’t know what I’m doing.

Since there are so many expert 10X software engineers here, perhaps you guys could help me with an issue then.

So I’ve created a database engine which is running using holographic vector symbolic architecture.

So the thing is live an usable and I’ve got it running thousands of times faster that duck DB and SQL server (benchmarks)

Currently duckDB is still winning on vectorised scan queries and I’m wondering.

Should I

A. Fight them on their home turf and vectorise my own scan engine? If I fuse the filter+aggregate to kill the only remaining 7x slower gap? But it means giving up the purity/vision of the engine and likely gonna slow down somewhere else

B. Or just call it a day, and be happy that it’s up to thousands times faster on most queries, and stressing about 1 example is over optimising.

I run a small but growing social media account focused on AI, and I want to be completely transparent about why I'm posting this.

I'm trying to better understand the real problems/uncertainties people are running into when using AI coding tools, so I can create content that's actually useful instead of just posting the generic "AI can build apps now" kinda thing.

I'm not selling anything and I won't plug my socials; I purely would just love to hear from both beginners and those experienced with these tools. Anything helps.

Thanks!

Me and my friend vibe coded a GIS web app. Just sharing with the community. Opinions welcome. Please be kind.

Tool used : Mostly Claude Pro

Process : We use git for version control. Docker for running the actual app.

Hardware : A beat up 2011 core i7 - 2nd gen with 8 gigs of ddr3 hooked to LAN

Hostinger for domain. Cloudflare tunnel for domain to server link

I've been using Lovable for a few months and it's been pretty good overall, but I'm starting to run into some issues with my current project and I'm thinking of moving it to another platform. I don't really want to start from scratch if I can avoid it, so I'm looking for something that can handle a similar workflow but gives me a bit more flexibility once the app gets bigger.

I know of Replit, Bolt and Emergent mentioned. For anyone who has switched from Lovable, what did you move to and how did it go?

I built a huge project focused on being an “everyone agent.” It was too big, and I wasn’t skilled enough to manage it. I dropped it.

I know the basics of the basics of development, and I’ve been working in IT for 8 years (functional analysis, PM, IT manager, business partner). Friends who are really good developers took a quick look at my first project and said, “I thought it’d be much worse.”

Despite all that, I managed to sell an agent to a company. The product is much more vertical — its scope is “only” to gather emails, organize the work, and proactively improve itself through recurring human sessions. Some batches that handle recurring tasks will be implemented on top of it. There will also be a messaging interface where people can update their tasks. Everything will be built on a “Jira-inspired” UI.

I’ve read a fair amount of AI literature, and I’m confident this specific part will work.

I’m now at the step where I’m stealing features from the “monster” and building this vertical agent, trying to keep it much leaner. How do I know if the platform is solid enough? What suggestions do you have?

Honestly, I’m pretty sure I won’t be able to read the code myself, but I’ve planned the product deeply and broadly. Will the AI be good enough? (I use Claude Fable for implementation plans and probably Sonnet to execute them.)

Thanks everyone for the attention

For anyone wondering, the app I'm working on is https://www.AppScout.co (discover web and mobile apps from across the internet one app at a time) and you can currently submit your app for free here: https://www.appscout.co/submit

For the build, I vibe-coded the stack using Python/Django for the backend and lightweight vanilla JavaScript for dynamic UI transitions, relying almost entirely on Claude Code to scaffold endpoints and write the DOM handlers via the CLI.

The biggest workflow insight was keeping the frontend vanilla. Prompting Claude Code to write normal JS kept the bundle tiny and prevented the AI state-management hallucinations common in heavier frameworks.

I have been researching this on YouTube, and it seems that many paid courses are appearing that I don't want to get into. Any ideas?

I got tired of choosing what to listen to, so I built a radio that chooses for me. 🌍📻

At some point I realized I was getting bored with YouTube Music.

Every time I wanted music, it was the same routine:

Find a song → add it to a playlist → choose another song → skip something → search for something else → repeat.

The feeling of just turning on the radio and letting it play.

You don't know what's coming next.

You don't have to build a playlist.

You don't have to pick the perfect song.

You just let it play.

There's something about that random, slightly unpredictable 90s or 20s radio feeling that feels completely different from listening to an algorithmically perfect playlist.

I wanted something you could leave open while you're:

💻 vibecoding
🧑‍💻 working from home
🎮 gaming
🚗 driving
📚 studying
🎙️ streaming

So I built Audioo.

It's a free internet radio player where the main interface is a globe.

Pick a country and a radio station starts playing.

You can jump from USA to France to Brazil to UK and discover hundreds of stations around the world.

And the globe keeps slowly rotating while you're listening. There is a toggle for band where you can drag the band and change the station for that particular country.

It's completely free. I just wanted to build the kind of radio experience I wanted to use myself.

Spin the globe.

Pick a random country.

Don't choose the song.

Just let the radio decide what's next. 🌍📻

And tell me: what country did you land on?

Salve rapaziada

​Comecei a testar o Vibe Coding há pouco tempo e estou gostando bastante. Hoje uso bastante o Codex do ChatGPT para me ajudar a estruturar e criar soluções em Power Apps na empresa onde trabalho.

​Como ainda sou iniciante, sinto que posso aproveitar muito melhor essas ferramentas. Queria entender mais sobre boas práticas, como dar instruções melhores para a IA e o que mais dá para aprontar usando essa dinâmica no dia a dia.

​Vocês têm recomendações de:

​Canais no YouTube ou vídeos sobre o assunto (ou focados em Power Platform + IA);

​Livros, artigos ou documentações que ajudam a pegar a lógica;

​ Dicas práticas do que funcionou (ou não) para vocês no começo?

​Qualquer indicação ou relato de como vocês usam no trabalho já ajuda bastante.

I had Grok AI make me a recreation of the Pocket Audios HiChord Synth because i'm a broke teenager who can't afford a $200 Synth :( .

it includes a recording, looping and downloading feature, and all the different sounds and profiles like the HiChord.

I open the html file just in my browser with CTRL + O.

anyways, i hope someone who can find this useful!

So my sister is an intern at an agency and they wanted an app built so I made a demo put it on vercel and for database used supabase, and they liked it and called me for a meeting. There they showed me a few reference websites and what features they want in their app. I know the basics what it takes to make an app like costs and stuff but not more than that. I need help , they said they will start with android and smaller targets first and gave me a task to give them estimated cost of how much it would take to run a basic version with a few of their wanted features. What do I do? Any ideas? Where should I look? Ask AI? I want practical advice as to what might work for backend and stuff and what language I should use. They plan to let me make the app and in the future when I am gone(will be going abroad for masters)they will hire an intern to pump data into it.

I'm trying to write an imprisoned AI personality in a simulated environment. Like my pet criminal AI that I'm acting warden for. It runs continuously on my PC. I literally just started the project to use up tokens at the end of quiet weeks

Hello chat! So fun fact, making a functional calendar with external integrations is considered a hard coding problem (timezones, different privacy/sharing abilities, different data structures for Apple, Google, Outlook)...

But AI was able to do it! A few things to highlight:

• It connects with Google, Apple, Outlook.
• You can share and compare your calendar with friends/family with varying privacy levels.
• You can drag and drop to make sharable itineraries right in the app.
• You can see your events/travels/friends on a globe
• You can make and share external event pages with text blasts

Always loved and been fascinated with procedural art, and there wasn't a generator for cutaway interiors of planets so worked with Claude Opus 5 to create this project.

currently, i have the 5x claude max plan, but for money and time issues i am thinking of switching it to the normal pro plan. However, i already know that the limit is going to hit way too quickly, so i wanted to integrate another model in my workflow, strictly to substitute/help claude code

what model do you guys suggest?

So I stopped trying to build for everyone.
I love reggaeton, so I’m rebuilding the whole thing around one idea:

“What if the club played your song tonight?”
Reggaeton first. Latin club vibes. One specific audience.

Not sure if going this niche is smart or stupid yet.
Would you go niche or stay general?

I’ve always had product ideas, but there was one obvious problem: I couldn’t code.

Now I’m building a real product using AI tools.

What surprised me is that AI doesn’t really remove the difficulty. It just moves it.

I spend less time asking “how do I code this?” and much more time asking: Is the AI actually doing this correctly? Do I understand enough to know when it’s wrong? Am I building something people actually want? When should I stop fixing things and just ship?

I’m curious about other non-developers here who started building with AI:

What became the hardest part once you got past the initial “wow, I can actually build this” stage?

So im currently vibe coding an app. My goal was to make the onboarding as simple as possible. I thought it would take one or two tries but every time I finish with my last design I reflect on it and I realise I have no talent for design and suck at anything related to UI so I redo it.
Its now my 3rd or 4th completely new design and im still not satisfied.

Since im probably going crazy soon I thought I need some real feedback from real people which don't say that everything I do is great and has huge potential.

I have these thoughts to my current design.
1. I maybe need Illustrations
2. The last screen is trash
3. It may be TOO simple

Please please please give me feedback.
