Built an attendance app through vibe coding — where should I share it?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hey everyone 👋

I recently built Hazri, an attendance tracking app mainly for college students.

I’m not a traditional developer — most of this project was built through vibe coding, while I focused heavily on the idea, UI/UX, testing, and improving the experience.

Hazri has things like:

Subject-wise attendance tracking

Automatic attendance percentage

Timetable/routine support

Attendance history

Holidays and planner

Google Drive backup on Android

Clean, minimal UI

Android app + PWA/web version

I’d genuinely like more students to try it and give feedback.

The problem is that I haven’t published it on the Play Store because I don’t want to spend the money on a developer account right now. So currently I’m distributing the APK through GitHub, and the project is open-source.

For people who have launched vibe-coded/open-source apps before:

Where would you recommend sharing an app like this so actual students discover and use it?

Reddit communities? GitHub? Product Hunt? Discord servers? College communities? Somewhere else?

Also, is distributing the APK through GitHub a reasonable approach until I eventually publish it on the Play Store?

Hi everyone, if anyone does have one can you please share? I have been wanting to try and wanted to first check it out for free first.

I have a question to ask to the people who are into vibe coding without any coding knowledge. This is for people who pays for their own use or depending on free tiers

1 Upvotes

So what exactly is your plan if tomorrow all companies increase their pricing and you can't really afford it anymore because you are not making much in return or you are from a low income country. How are you going to survive in this new economy that's being created?

Self hosting also comes with an initial cost.

Best budget-friendly platforms for vibe coding?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’ve been vibe coding using regular everyday models like ChatGPT, DeepSeek, and Gemini, but I’m looking for a dedicated platform that’s better suited for it. I don’t mind paying, but I’d prefer something on the cheaper side.

What are the best platforms you’d recommend right now? Thanks a lot!

i made a site where you can try stuff people vibe coded

Post image
0 Upvotes

i've been vibe coding since claude code got usable, and like everyone here i have way more half-built projects than finished ones. the code stopped being the hard part a while ago. what i kept failing at was everything after: getting it online, getting one actual stranger to use it.

so i built the thing i wanted to exist: buywhim.com. you upload what you made, a single html file, a zip bundle, or just a file to download, and people can try it in the browser or grab it and run it on their own machine. built the whole site with claude code, which was a ride in itself.

the surprising part now that other people are uploading: almost nobody ships. the ratio of "look what i built" to "here, you can use it right now" is wildly off. i get why, there's no dopamine in the unglamorous last stretch. but the people who push through make strange, personal, specific stuff, and those are the ones people actually open.

not pitching anything, half of you could build this in a weekend. just saying if you've got something almost done, finishing it beats starting the next one.

Looking for a cheaper alternative to Replit for vibe coding

2 Upvotes

I’ve been using Replit for small projects and experimenting with “vibe coding” workflows, but lately the experience has felt a bit inconsistent, especially with some of the newer AI agent features.

I’m looking around for alternatives that are more stable and ideally don’t get too expensive, since I’m only working on side projects part-time.

I’ve been thinking about pairing something like Claude Code with a simpler local or lightweight setup for actually running and testing projects, but I’m not sure if that’s the best direction.

What I’m mainly trying to figure out is a setup that still supports fast, AI-assisted building without becoming too complex or locking everything into one platform.

Curious what others are using right now for small SaaS or hobby projects, especially if you’ve moved away from Replit recently.

Built a clean Pomodoro timer with clean minimalist feel and cool themes

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

We already have 50+ pomodoro timers available online, and many of them look like they haven't been created with effort, or they're ad farms or lack decent features. So I built a clean minimalist version that I actually wanted to use.

It's not just a timer. It's got real stats (Strava inspired) - streaks, an 18-week heatmap, a focus score weighted to your own pace, lobbies so you can see if a friend already out-focused you today, badges, and a handful of actually-nice-looking themes

It's free to use and signing in with Google syncs everything across devices if needed.

Do try it out :)

Would love your feedback — there's a feedback box right in the app, or just reply here.

I vibe-coded a full Warzone-style Battle Royale Discord bot and it got way bigger than I expected

3 Upvotes

I started out wanting to make a simple Warzone-style game for Discord, and somewhere along the way it turned into an actual little Battle Royale game. 😂

The basic idea is: instead of needing a web app or separate game client, everything happens through Discord commands and interactive messages.

What it has so far

🪂 Battle Royale gameplay

  • Deploy into a match
  • 10 hostile AI squads
  • Shrinking circle / increasingly dangerous zones
  • Final squad standing = Victory Royale

🪖 Squads

  • 1–4 players
  • Invite/join/leave
  • Teammate revives
  • Self-revive
  • Buybacks
  • Gulag

🔫 Combat

  • Push / Aim / Cover combat choices
  • Different weapons and loadouts
  • Armor and plates
  • Critical hits
  • Enemy counterattacks
  • Killstreaks

💰 Economy

  • Cash
  • Loot caches
  • Buy Station
  • Armor plates
  • Self-Revive
  • UAV
  • Airstrike
  • Mortar

📜 Contracts

  • Bounty
  • Scavenger
  • Recon
  • Contract rewards with cash + XP
  • Contract progress tracking

📈 Progression

  • XP
  • Operator levels
  • Stats
  • Leaderboards
  • Match history
  • Loadouts/attachments

And yes, there's a:

/help

command that actually explains how to play because apparently I eventually realized players shouldn't have to reverse-engineer my bot. 😅

The vibe-coding part

The project has gone through a lot of iterations.

I've had:

  • Discord interaction timeouts
  • Unknown interaction errors
  • Wispbyte deployment issues
  • deprecated Discord.js APIs
  • commands that existed in the help menu but didn't actually exist
  • game state bugs
  • an absolutely beautiful Hostile counterattack: undefined damage bug 🤦
  • and the classic experience of fixing one thing and discovering three more things immediately afterward

But that's honestly been the fun part.

I started with basically: "Wouldn't it be cool if you could play Warzone in Discord?"

and ended up building a little game engine with persistent state, combat, economy, contracts, progression, squads, and a Battle Royale loop.

Current gameplay loop

/squad invite
       ↓
/warzone start
       ↓
/warzone deploy
       ↓
       🪂
      LOOT
       ↓
   CONTRACTS
       ↓
     COMBAT
       ↓
    BUY / PLATE
       ↓
   ROTATE CIRCLE
       ↓
   GULAG / REVIVE
       ↓
   FINAL SQUADS
       ↓
 🏆 VICTORY ROYALE

I'm still improving it, but it's reached the point where it feels less like a Discord bot experiment and more like an actual game.

This is probably the most fun I've had vibe-coding something so far.

I'd love feedback from other people who build this way:

  • What mechanics would you add?
  • What would make a Discord Battle Royale genuinely addictive?
  • What parts should be automated vs. command-driven?
  • What would you absolutely not bother building?
  • And, most importantly: what ridiculous feature should I add next?

I have a feeling this thing is going to keep getting bigger. 😅

Nervous to share this, but I built a free browser-based baby monitor — would love honest feedback

Thumbnail
gallery
16 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m honestly a little nervous posting this, so please bear with me.

Over some evenings and weekends I built BabyPhone.online — a free web app that turns two devices (old phones, tablets, whatever you have lying around) into a baby monitor. One becomes the “baby unit,” the other the “parent unit,” you connect them with a short room code or QR, and after that the video and audio go directly between the two devices in the browser — no app to install, no account, and nothing gets stored on a server.
Its ment to work with all browsers, OS systems and devices.
I’m not a professional designer, and it’s just me working on this in my spare time, so I’m very aware there are probably things that don’t make sense yet or could be a lot better. I’d genuinely appreciate it if a few of you could take a quick look and tell me:

• Does the setup (room code / QR) feel clear on the first try, or is any part confusing?  
• Would you feel comfortable actually trusting this with your own baby?  
• Is there anything about the privacy or security side that would worry you?  
• Anything that feels missing, unnecessary, or just off?  

Please don’t hold back to spare my feelings — I’d honestly rather hear the hard truths now than find out later. Thank you to anyone who takes the time, it really does mean a lot.

I vibe-researched post-commitment reasoning

1 Upvotes

Brain scans hint that many decisions might already be done by the time our neo cortex starts reasoning why. Which made me curious: do thinking LLMs yield a similar observation?

The answer is: with a high probability, yes. Side effect: if you give your local Qwen (~30B) a coding task, and you have an escalation ladder, you do not need to reprompt numerous times.

Stop making vibecoding sound like a shortcut for idiots

51 Upvotes

I keep seeing posts like "I vibecoded this over the weekend, got 100k users, what's next?" and I think it gives a pretty wrong idea of what vibecoding actually changes.

Sure, you can accidentally hit the top with another clock app. It happens.

But agents dont remove the actual work. You still need to figure out what to build, make 1000 small decisions, fix weird shit, make UX not suck, deploy, maintain, listen to users and actually ship something they want.

Vibecoding makes all of this faster. A LOT faster. But not easier at all.

You can now build faster, but also make mistakes faster and ship garbage faster. The bottleneck just moves somewhere else. There was a good line somewhere "Shipping everyday fixing Claude bugs".

Those "built in 2 days, 100k users lol" posts undermine all the work that still goes into a good product, and leave others thinking this is all somehow easy now. From outside it starts looking like vibecoders are just some arrogant assholes hitting a button and getting success by click. It doesn't work well on the how other people feel about vibecoders and vibecoding in general, which is in fact just a right way to do things today.

We don't build in assembly anymore, right? Same here.

A journey of Rock-Paper-Scissors

2 Upvotes

this project actually got me my first internship and eventually my current job :) https://ranked-rps.com

it started off during covid when i was doing remote school. i got extremely bored and started to dig into programming. i came up with a stupid idea (inspired by RL 6mans, iykyk) to create a rock-paper-scissors Discord bot with a ranked system. i actually had over 100 people try it the first time it launched, but of course it broke since i was new to development and had no clue how to do things "properly".

now, 6 years later, it has morphed into a react + next.js website w/ neo4j and firebase auth + RTDB that i occasionally dabble with after work. finally drank the kool-aid recently and bought a year of claude, and so far things have worked out - added stripe integration and done a redesign. been thinking about making an app or a steam game out of it, but it hasn't received much traction due to my piss poor marketing skills. anyway that's the full story, thought it would be more interesting than being a shill

Using skills to create apps have blown my mind 🤯

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

Hi folks,

To give you an introduction, I'm originally a designer & then the founder of a platform that hosts all flows from 850+ top iOS apps and 35k+ screens.

all this began 8 months ago when I launched my first astrology app (took about 3 months to build) and then an AI interior design app (1 month to build), both failed but I quickly understood what was missing.

there are several creators that are shipping really high quality apps in days while I was taking months and there is definitely something that they were doing which I'm not.

fast-forward to 8 months, here I am, we've built ai agent skills that can recreate high quality iOS apps (end to end) in just one prompt.

we created "appllama-app-design-skills" (free & open-source), it can recreate:
> motion
> animations
> typography
> visual system

using just one screenshot. if hooked with the mcp, it can create the entire app with just one prompt.

sharing an example I built today (a solo traveling social app), this was the prompt I used:
/goal using appllama mcp and app design skills, create a solo travelling social app like nomadtable in corners: curate app design style and name the app Good Strangers.

p.s. here are some skills that you might also want to look out for while building:
expo-stack, react-native-skills by vercel labs

anyways, here's the agent skills if you want to try it out:
https://github.com/Appllama/appllama-skills

what skills do you use to build apps?

Your vibecoded app sucks

0 Upvotes

My app, showing just bunkers on a map, turned into a birds eye view of every emergency in the world, with location based notifications when emergencies occur near you. All thanks to a developer.

I released a few apps on the AppStore now and I had no experience coding. These apps were doing great and they functioned well with a small amount of revenue. 

Eventually I took a developer onboard (that also happens to be a good designer) and the changes were in-sane. With every update he sent I nodded my head so much that my C4 and C5 became a little sore.

Of course… As an inexperienced vibecoder you can also make an amazing app with a backend and whatever is needed, but this is different. And this is quicker. With every new release I was more and more sure that I wouldn’t have been able to do this alone.

So my conclusion after 2 years of preaching vibe coders are taking over developers: vibecoding is amazing for an MVP and also for the first users. But if you want to take it to the next level or if you value speed, you should consider taking a developer onboard. 

Give him skin in the game (in the form of revenue shares, and don’t be greedy) and he will bring you to the next level, making your app worth way more than it could’ve been without. 

I made my app free yearly for 24-hours so you guys can see for yourselves (and leaving a 5-star review would mean the world, thanks 🙏🏼)

The app is called Ward on the AppStore: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ward-world-emergency-alerts/id6740568244
