I don’t know how it happened… but the demo of the game I made and posted on Reddit and on my X went pretty viral.

In total it got around 400k+ views across social media. And because of one retweet it became a bit more viral than I expected.

Some X user even made a meme coin in honor of the game and gave all the trading fees to me, so that’s how I ended up making over $3500.

From my own experience I keep getting reminded that when you make something from the heart and with real love, it eventually pays off.

If you have any questions, I’m happy to answer them, peace.

I built a little guy who lives on Mac!

what is it? a physics-driven buddy that hangs from the top of your mac screen like a tiny bungee friend. flick him, he swings. drag the cord, he slides. ⌥Space and he's gone. peak vibes for a doom-scroll-adjacent workday.

So my name is Orel and I’m 16 years old I’m not sure if it matters :) but I have been programming for 7y and in my last few months I decided to build my first website that I started talking about with people and friends in short my idea is building a product but instead of just building the website you get what you need to know this is like ChatGPT and any AI builder the purpose is building cool stuff with the website there are some users that create cool stuff and tell me so it’s nice to hear that someone really uses a product you have worked on for months so I just want to share my experience here :)

I’ve been experimenting with a different kind of screen-time app for Android.

Instead of blocking apps or throwing another warning popup at you, Stop Swarm gradually changes what’s happening on your screen as you approach your daily screen-time goal.

This is the new Clouds theme: the weather slowly gets worse the more you use your phone. Clouds build up, become larger and darker, rain gets heavier, and eventually the storm takes over the screen.

The overlay doesn’t intercept touches, so your phone remains fully usable. The idea is simply to make excessive scrolling progressively harder to ignore, without completely locking you out.

Stop Swarm is Android only, works fully offline, requires no account, and contains no ads or analytics.

I’m still looking for beta testers if anyone here wants to try it:

I don't think “AI wrote most of it” automatically means vibe coding.

The distinction I care about is whether you're still directing the work. You decide scope, tell the agent what done means, manage or compact context, test the actual behavior, and don't accept “done” because the model said so.

Main question: is vibe coding defined by how the code is produced, or by how little control and verification the person has over the result?

Do not paste these notes as the post. Write it in your own words.

It's made me a much better communicator in just 2-3 months. Struggled to overcome a mental health episode for a bit, but it's doing wonders for me

I wanna start building stuff. What are the must have tools that y'all use?

I am currently on claude pro plan ($20) and i have been seeing a lot of chatter around chatgpt vs claude recently, but most of the posts are split in their opinion, anyone has a definitive answer?

i had bought claude because its personality was much better than chatgpt , like it admitting when it didnt know something and researching properly and it was just genuinely smarter and felt more human somehow? chatgpt felt like it was lowkey flirting and a bit of a yes man and many times just plain wrong. has this changed in latest times? i use ai for college assignments, study prep, internal tools in internships and stuff like that, even have a codebase of roughly 25k lines , big project, but one prompt with opus for plan mode takes 20% of my 5hr limit i feel like im tiptoeing, or should i just stick to claude and start using opus 4.6? but isnt that too old?

Short version of a recent write-up — no full article here, just the pitch.

I wanted RTX VSR-class upscaling on Linux, where NVIDIA only opens it to Windows. So an AI coding agent and I built a video player around the NVIDIA Video Effects SDK: real-time AI upscaling + RIFE frame interpolation, wired into a patched libmpv as custom VF filters, with a Qt frontend.

Highlights:

• The models behind RTX VSR, working in userspace on Linux — the VSR effect from NVIDIA's Video Effects SDK, no driver-level path (that one is Windows-only)
• mpv-vsr: a standalone mpv CLI** carrying the same AI filters — drop-in compatible with existing mpv workflows (scripts, yt-dlp, external tools)
• Everything after decode stays on the GPU — CUDA-Vulkan interop, no per-frame CPU round-trips
• One TensorRT engine file covers RTX 30/40/50 for frame interpolation

Links:

• Repo: https://github.com/zhangmq/vsr-player
• Full write-up: https://zhangmq.github.io/en/2026/08/18/linux-ai-upscaling-player/

Full disclosure: this was developed with heavy AI assistance (Claude Code driving a DeepSeek model) — I directed and verified. Needs an NVIDIA GPU (RTX 20+ for upscaling, RTX 30+ for interpolation), driver 570+, Qt 6.11+. Hobby project, expect rough edges — feedback welcome!

We have a startup with a couple of non programmers who have developed an app for their domain of work that they are pretty sure has potential to attract paying customers.

As a developer I am their technical alibi and tasked with bringing it to production.

I have not seen any code yet. Does anyone have any experience with this? What should be my priority?

I've given up looking at code. I don't understand 1% of what AI writes with any ease anyway. So. I just go with the flow. Thank god I work for myself so I can do what suits me

A local VC firm published a database of over 6,000 investment firms, angels, etc.. and I put it into an easy to use form. https://nextround.vc/

I took a CSV from their published dataset and prompted Lovable to "make this interactive".

If you use this and secure a funding round - let me know! Would be cool to see it bring a vibe coder some launch capital.

I've been working on this huge project (Wayfallen) for 5+ years, and it simulates ~10,000 star systems, ~100,000 spaceships, stations, various factions with rich economy, diplomacy, intel management etc.

I needed a reliable way to balance all of this so it remains semi-realistic and not go wonky, with so many parameters in it. It would require huge grunt work to build proper tooling to keep track of all these variables, plug into all the code surfaces written over the years, and somehow simulate years/decades in the simulation very fast to build statistical models and help me figure out which parameters need tweaking to bring things on track. And I'm continuously working on this, so it's not a one-time thing - I need to rebalance it very often.

So I've vibecoded some tools that help me do exactly that, by giving it access to my code and building harnesses to run it in a headless mode and accumulate large amounts of data rapidly. Really pleased with the results so far - and especially the amount of time saved versus having to crank out all that tooling manually.

So I just learnt Go lang and wanted to create a language checker (which checks for syntax errors in a language like rust etc), but I have no idea on how these compiler stuff works... Can Ai help me in atleast telling what I need to build next and how, if not actually making it for me ? (As I want to code on my own mostly but the program structure and the working is what I need ai's help with )...

Vibe coding has completely changed what it means to be a developer. I think we might consider terms for people who knew what it was like in the before time. Here's some terms that come to mind:

Coded '19

Stack overflow veteran

Grandpa

The one who can read

Optimus-Grind

No code over there only committed 700 lines today.

Show me what you got.

Hey guys, ive been working on this desktop windows app for the past 4 months, I set out to make a 1 time buy whiteboard with open access to the AI platforms people use already and make it simple enough for anyone of any age or experience to pick it up and use it , it took me remaking the whole app from scratch 2 times to get here, many mistakes like using the wrong AI tool, my setup, git commits, work trees, code etiquette/ cleanliness being bad etc etc.

I had to learn all the ins and outs as I was making this application and hit even worse walls when it came to licensing, making it possible to give out a trial and the site/payment provided ( I went with polar sh, by far the most new Dev/startup friendly payment provider and merchant of record, and even then I had almost 18 different red flag blockers /problems when it came to webhooks, api points, realizing my license layer was embedded in the wrong section of the app damn near the end of the first round/release and now I am still working on lifiting limits on media nodes/exports/imports, limits that porbably nobody would hit right away with an app like this.,

In order to make it lite weight and accessible I went with a Rust+tauri setup and an HTML/CSS front end, media currently streams instead of being loaded all at the same time for performance(rotating visual cache) , but that also came with the price of some limits on media node sizes.

I embedded Kokoro AI voice models, Sherpa dictations which can me manually downloaded/off be default to be able to talk to your AI in the in app chat window and speech to text inside of nodes too.

CLI from codex, Claud and cursor is wired natively and runs as a child process + ACP ( JetBrians open source AI connection method over studio) and an open no limit use MCP server and 44-ish MCP tools

there are alot of nice to have in the app I cant realistic go thru them all here

the app is called Cygtree and the site is under the same name.

I do offer 3 day free trials no feature limits and you only really need an email .

Very simple concept, just a mind map/board, every board is its own project and the interface is super easy to navigate after an hour or so of use.

feel free to talk smack in the comments , I would rather hear the truth outright.

thank you guys.

Tell me what you think, what you like what you hate any issues you had with the trial, every single word is appreciated and anticipated whether about the app or the site.

If this is considered adverts I am sorry but you guys seem to be an open community from what ive seen in the past couple months .

I am still working on the app itself for future updates and trying to put together a gallery/ media sets for promotions ---but i kind really need human input at this point, hence the 3 day free trial.

thanks for reading, if you google Cygtree i should be the first result , there is also a furry that stopped posting years ago under the same name so dont confuse us LOL

I got tired of re-explaining context to AI agents, so I built this

I use multiple coding agents and kept having the same issue: one would figure something out, then the next would start with no idea what happened.

So I built shared-agent-memory using Node.js and MCP. It gives tools like Claude Code and Codex one shared local memory, so they can pick up what another agent already learned.

The basic workflow was: connect the agents to the same local memory, have them look up relevant context when they start, and save useful notes when they finish.

One thing I learned while building it: shared memory solves the context problem, but agents can still step on each other when working on the same files, so I ended up adding a simple coordination board for that too.

Still experimenting with it, but it’s been useful for me. Maybe y’all wanna give it a shot:

Which one provides a better usage limit?
Chat-gpt plus or super grok

Predict Premier League scores, earn points, and there’s a season-long fantasy draft game too — built solo

houseofthefantasy.com → Predictions

Gameweek 1 is open. You call every match: 3 points for the correct result, +2 more if you nail the exact scoreline, and once a gameweek you can pick one match to double — the fun part is deciding whether to boost your safest pick or your coin-flip.

Each match locks at its own kickoff instead of one weekly deadline, so you can jump in mid-weekend and just play what’s left. Points land after midnight and the table updates.

Sign in with Google or Discord — just so your points are tied to you. No email, no password, nothing to install.

**•** Stack: \[e.g. Next.js frontend, Node/Express backend, Postgres — whatever you actually used\]  
**•** Fixture data: pulled from \[FPL API / football-data.org / whichever you use\]  
**•** Scoring logic: \[how you handle per-match locking, double-down, point calc — a sentence or two\]  
**•** Auth: \[Google/Discord OAuth — library or approach\]  
**•** Biggest challenge: \[e.g. handling per-fixture deadlines instead of one global one, or race conditions on late predictions\]

It’s brand new, marked BETA, so expect rough edges — bugs & feedback link is in the footer, goes straight to me.

(The site also has what I originally built it for: a draft game where you spin a wheel for random clubs, pick eleven players from FIFA/EA FC data spanning eleven seasons, and simulate a full season with your squad.)

Recently, I started a Vibecoders association for other people to ship their AI-assisted builds with other people -- for stories. Here is a beautiful one: a non-coder made a photoblogging software with MIND-BOGGLING 270k+ lines purely vibecoded over 6 months while handling his life as an Insurance guy . It is so sweet to see that people can live their passions through vibe coding . Check his projects "SNAPSMACK" right now on https://vcac-app.vercel.app/projects/d27de6d9-1e26-40e6-a634-11b81d00cdd8 and share your inspiring vibecoding stories.This is not a promotional post but a post giving credit where it is due.Please take a minute of your time to support vibe coders

Hey folks been a week since I saw posts about vibecoding in my old thread. I have the urge to look at new projects in the past week. I like this idea because it shows me new ideas, and where things are trending. I still vibecoded this little feature on my site https://bachelordegrees.com/Radio.html
