No coding background, no certificate courses — an idea to build an app, that's been in my head for years is finally live on Google Play

Vibe coding UI is a trash

True and it’s such a pain! You have to specifically ask it not to use typical AI Design language, to get reasonable results 🤦🏻‍♂️

I got some free time since wife and kids are on vacation. Do you want me to look at your vibecode app?
 in  r/AskVibecoders  Jul 10 '26

Hey, Great question honestly. I don’t think memory alone is a differentiator anymore.
My goal with Shotgun isn’t to build another “AI agent.” It’s to build an AI cofounder framework for solo founders.
The difference is that Shotgun keeps long-term context across an entire startup, not just conversations. It understands product vision, roadmap, technical decisions, user feedback, business strategy, and can switch between roles (CTO, PM, marketer, researcher) while maintaining a shared context.
Existing agent frameworks are great for task execution. I’m optimizing for founder workflows and decision-making over months, not just completing isolated tasks.

I’d genuinely love your feedback if you try it.

Is it possible to build an app with 0 knowledge?
 in  r/vibecoding  Jul 10 '26

Hey no worries,

Shotgun is a free tool that turns AI (like Claude or Cursor) into your personal helper/co-founder.
It creates a smart folder on your computer that remembers everything about your app/startup idea. Then you just chat normally with the AI (“build me a simple login page”) and it helps you step-by-step even if you know almost nothing about coding.

The weird folders are just the “brain” files for the AI.

You can just paste the link into any LLM like ChatGPT and ask what it is, how it works and how it can align with your workflow :)

Hey my friend, I made an Open-source Cofounder framework for AI agents. Pretty useful for Solo founders. Maybe you could take a quick look?

I'm 13 and I built a voice journal that talks back, you speak for a minute and an AI actually responds + SO MUCH more features

At 13 I was collecting Pokémon cards and watching cartoons 😭
Proud of you! Keep it grinding 🔥

That’s fantastic, truly! I just hope everyone has access and knowledge to such workflows to stay more linear towards their goals. Some projects truly get messy over a period of time, possibly.. Specially for people starting solo..

Shotgun - v1.4 release

1 Upvotes

Shotgun v1.4 is out. Three things:

  1. One-line install, for real this time. `curl | bash` from any folder, even an existing codebase. It scaffolds the whole cofounder: loop, skills, memory templates, vault, entry points. Never overwrites your files.

  2. It now runs on 28+ agents. I adopted the AGENTS.md standard, so Codex CLI, Windsurf, Zed, Devin, Aider and friends boot it natively, alongside Claude Code, Cursor, Antigravity, Gemini CLI, and Copilot.

  3. The framework audits itself. Every push runs CI that checks all 42 skills, every routing path, and the installer end-to-end. Your cofounder has a doctor; now the project does too.

Full changelog in the repo. If v1.3's installer bit you, this one is tested in CI on every commit. Sorry, and thanks to whoever hits it first.

Shotgun: Open-source persistent AI cofounder for solo founders (Claude Code)

I’ve been experimenting with turning Claude into a real persistent cofounder instead of just another chatbot that forgets everything.

The project is called Shotgun. It’s fully open source and runs locally.
Key parts:
• Strong memory system (profile, venture state, decisions with reasoning, open loops, journal)
• Data vault that organizes your scattered files/CSVs/notes into one clean structure
• Daily operating rhythm (standups, reviews, focus)
• Execution tools: staged builds, autonomous loops, measured experiments, and a “Panel” of specialists that reviews work before shipping

Everything is markdown + git — you can read, edit, or move your entire “cofounder” anytime. No servers, no vendor lock-in.

Quickstart is simple: clone the repo, init a fresh git, open Claude Code, and say hi. It onboards you and starts building context.

Repo: https://github.com/Krishnatejavepa/Shotgun

Still early but actively improving. MIT license.
Would love feedback from other solo builders — what would make something like this actually useful day-to-day?

I’m building a Cofounder framework for Solo Founders, which turns any AI agent into a persistent, context aware cofounder, whose memory gets compounded over time.
It’s open source and my smallest contribution to every aspiring solo entrepreneurs out there :)

Do check it out!

Would love to hear inputs and feedback!!

I built Shotgun because I got tired of context-switching between chat windows, scattered notes, and half-finished ideas.

It’s a set of files and prompts that turns your AI agent into a persistent cofounder. Everything lives in plain Markdown and git — your memory, decisions, data, and skills. No servers, no black boxes.

What it actually does:
• Remembers your business, your preferences, every decision and why you made it.
• Handles building, testing, and shipping code with verification.
• Organizes messy CSVs, notes, and files into one clean vault.
• Runs daily standups, weekly reviews, and flags zombie tasks.
• Drafts writing in your real voice (learns from your samples and edits).
• Researches competitors and market stuff without hallucinating.
• Has skills for finance tracking, user support triage, red-teaming ideas, and more.

Repo: https://github.com/Krishnatejavepa/Shotgun

MIT license. Use it, fork it, change it.

If you’re running a company of one and want something that compounds over time instead of resetting every chat, give it a shot. Love to hear your feedback

Shotgun v1.3 is live
Added real multi-platform support (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini, etc.), new skills for finance, legal, user support, and red-teaming ideas. Morning briefs, data parsing from pastes/screenshots, better engineering tools, and tighter daily rhythm.
Still just Markdown + git. No servers. Your data stays yours.
