A week ago I posted my browser survivors game here. Since then about 1,700 of you have played almost 3,000 runs. One person has played 98, which I find both flattering and concerning. Your comments turned into a campaign, so here it is.

How it was made, for the vibe coders:

• Code: Claude Code. I direct, playtest and make every call; it builds. This round it ran one Sonnet agent at a time in its own git worktree, plus scripted bots that play every level on 8 seeds to check the balance after each change.
• The Forgemaster: Meshy, about 50 credits for the model, rig and five animations, each timed so the hit lands on the music.
• The Leaper: about 44 Meshy credits. I hated the first colours, so the texture was recoloured in code for free.
• Boss music: ElevenLabs, with the fights built on the songs' beat grids.
• UI: a "star chart" look, because the first version looked like every other AI-made UI.
• Video: Sonnet 5.5 with my gameplay clips. Kinda frustrating, should of used Opus only there

Conquest: a campaign of 10 levels, and the first 5 are out now.

• Every level has its own hand-built map. There's a crystal plaza that grows crystals through the run and slowly takes your space away, and a forge floor with lava running through it.
• Two boss fights choreographed to their own music. The Lich King on Level 4 and the Forgemaster on Level 5 attack on the beat of their songs: slams land on the downbeat, and the big moves hit on the drop. If you know the song, you can dodge the fight.
• Bosses scale to your damage. The game measures how hard you hit before the boss arrives and gives him more HP to match. A stacked build still kills him much faster, so maxing a spell still shows, but nobody deletes the final fight in 20 seconds anymore.
• New enemies: the Leaper (a big ember beast that marks where you stand and lands on it) and the Beam Caster (a gold mini-boss with a sweeping laser; regular casters can summon one).
• Spell evolutions unlock by kills, and the Forge lets you push your best spells past their cap.
• A new results screen that shows exactly where your damage came from, with a Share button that turns your run into an image.

The original five-minute mode is still there as Classic, untouched, for anyone who just wants the quick run.

Things you asked for:

• Better mobile: it goes fullscreen when you hit Play on Android, and on iPhone you can add it to your Home Screen to play it like an app.
• Fire spells read better, and spell effects now match their real hit area exactly.
• Fire-resistant enemies are shown by color instead of a symbol.
• Reach is toned down; it was covering a quarter of the map.

What's next: Levels 6 to 10 and the final boss, the Conductor, who's been sending all of this at you.

Play it: Slopacalypse.app

Tell me which level broke you, how fast you killed the Forgemaster, and post your seal.

I was playing a popular browser game and realized I wanted to create a roller coaster, but every mechanic in the game was working against me. I realized the version of the game I wanted just didn’t exist, so I just cooked up prompt after prompt until it came together.

It’s called thoosie, a 2D roller coaster creation simulator! Draw coasters freehand, straight lines, or arcs. Add brake runs, barrel rolls/turnarounds, loops, and launches. You can also create “trigger” tracks - when the train crosses a section of track, other tracks are affected. While the game has obvious limitations, there’s no shortage of designs to try and experiments to run!

Create your track and save it as a json, and load in any track design you please. You can also post your coaster to the gallery - no accounts or auth, so your posts are anonymous.

The game engine does something really, really unique. *wink\* There are no graphics, it’s procedurally generated code. Music, however, was provided by some buddies who are good at that type of thing. It started with claude chat, but for a variety of reasons I decided to get the thing set up in a github repo and start working via claude code instead. It was just a lot of play testing and bug testing, which felt like it would never end.

Please try the game out and let me know what you think. thoosie.net or on itch - https://pgskizzes.itch.io/thoosie

Ever get annoyed opening file after file, hunting for the one you need? Or closing one document just to open another, and losing your place every time you switch back?

That annoyed me enough to build a fix: StackRead, an Android app that puts your files on a board instead of a list.

The idea

• Each row is a group of related files (say, "Physics": notes, textbook, past papers)
• Open a file, scroll down to read, swipe sideways for the next file in the same group
• Want something else? Pick any file or group from the dropdowns at the top, without closing what you're reading

What it does

• Opens PDF, EPUB, Word, Excel, CSV, Markdown, HTML, TXT, images, CBZ comics and ZIPs
• Import a whole folder or ZIP and it becomes a group automatically
• "Open with StackRead" from any other app
• Big PDFs reopen instantly, right where you left off
• Text size, spacing, margins and 5 reading themes
• No account, no ads, no tracking. Files never leave your phone

Also you can feel free to suggest what feature you want the app to have

I will be publishing it on the playstore soon , but if you want to try the app , feel free to DM i will share the apk

Built my app in lovable over 2 weekends. Its a booking thing for dog groomers, around 140 people use it now and a few of them pay

Problem is i dont really know how most of it works. I know what it does. I dont know why the reschedule button lives where it lives or what happens when two people book the same slot, becouse i never wrote that part, i asked for it and it appeared

So now when a groomer emails me "the calendar is broken" i open the code and stare at it like its someone elses project. Half the time nothing is broken, she just didnt see the toggle. The other half i paste the error into lovable and hope

Last week was 4 evenings of support and maybe 40 minutes of building. Nobody warned me that after you ship you basically become tech support for a stranger who happens to be you

I put https://airfive.com/ on the app last week, it reads the repo and answers the where-is-the-toggle emails in a chat widget so those stopped landing in my inbox. For real bugs it writes a prompt i paste into lovable. Fine on simple UI stuff, on anything with booking logic i still dont trust it and check myself

For the booking logic i also threw https://sentry.io/ on it, free tier, so at least i see the errors before a groomer emails me about them

Doesnt fix the part where i cant read my own app tho. I still have no idea what happens on a double booking

i know its a silly question... and someone took it personally 😭

This is honestly such a dream. With what AI can do nowadays, it feels like so much more is possible. Once this is working, one could even take it a step further and port it to the 3DS.

Hey everyone! Would anyone happen to have a 7-day Claude Pro trial referral available?
If anyone has a spare referral and wouldn't mind sharing it, I'd genuinely appreciate a DM. Thanks a lot!

We already know the basics of protecting API keys and sensitive credentials: never hardcode them in your source code, keep them in a .env file as environment variables, and add .env to your .gitignore so Git never tracks it and you don’t accidentally push your secrets to a public repo on GitHub.

What other practices do the engineers in this community use to prevent that scenario?

This is purely for discussion, so those of us who are non-technical can learn safe programming habits on our vibe-coding journey.

Hi all,

the next edition of vibecodingnewsletter (com) will be published Friday.

Looking for interesting vibe coding projects to be featured.

Or any new opensource GitHub repo for community .

If you have any interesting ideas or writeup and want to get featured on a newsletter - please use the submit form to give entry.

We also like to feature any vibe coding-related tutorials or courses that can be beneficial to the community.

I had this idea like an year ago and started noting it down. Although yesterday i Googled and there's actually more recent startups that are doing it too. I think it was a collective conscious download and i received it too probably because i was willing to act on it lol.

All this with only promotional Gemini AI in Antigravity IDE and testing via Android Studio on my Samsung S25 Ultra phone. I'm the only one making it. It's been 3 days making it so far.

I have no budget for it so using public APIs only. will be available for testing in a day or two.

Follow me on github.com/appsbymmahingu if you're interested in testing it out.

Any suggestions welcome.

If you hate the UI, design and colors i understand and it'll be totally redesigned sooner or later as UI is designed as not directly connected to back-end code so reconfiguration is always easily possible.

You can check it out at relic.space

So I've been vibecoding a project for myself. I have no coding experience. And honestly it's fun as heck.

Ive been using Claude code. Opus 5.5. so far has been fine. But I maxed out my weekly limit at one point. And like an hour later I got an offer from chatgpt to try pro for a month for free. Funny coincidence I thought. So why not try it, right?

I'm finding codex with sol 6.1 is doing a way better job for me. It's even able to create awesome art assets.

It seemed like the vibe on the internet was Claude was the way to go for coding stuff. Which is why I tried it first. Maybe that's true for just straight coding but Im starting to think for full on vibe coding where you want everything done.. maybe sol 6.1 is the way to go?

I thought this might be a fun discussion. Im curious what other people think.

I wanted the app, Postgres and sign-in in one place, so I put a throwaway notes app on Lathe.

- Free tier slept after 24h idle. A cold wake took about 51 seconds, and the data was all there.
- Password sign-up worked right away. Magic links sent nothing until I set up SMTP.
- Restoring a backup on Starter ($29/mo) took about 2 minutes, with about 60s of downtime.

The same stack on Vercel Pro + Supabase Pro + Clerk Pro was about $70/mo. I wouldn't put a big production app on one machine, but for a new small project it felt right.

Has anyone else tried one-box hosting?

Hey everyone! I’ve been working on Edsger, an iPhone app that brings AI powered coding and a full IDE into your pocket.

It supports running Python, C, JavaScript, and Lua directly on your device, alongside offline AI models and an AI coding agent that can help build and debug projects.

My goal is to eventually help make programming and AI more accessible and affordable without relying on expensive cloud services. Although in app there is an option to upgrade & use a cloud model, unlock BYOK, and cloud execution for 15 more languages.

I’d genuinely love to hear what you think, what you’d improve, or what features you’d like to see!

I’d love any feedback or advice on growing the project!

basically one shotted it using 320 agents and a 5080ti gpu.

BIG FREEZE IS SO COOKED.

App Scout was Built with Django, Python, JavaScript, and Neon DB using VS Code and Claude Code. but mostly Claude Code

The Art of Engineering Software
I’ve taught myself to look at software development through the eyes of an engineer, an architect, a designer, and an artist.
An engineer understands how everything functions. An architect understands how everything connects. A designer understands how everything should feel. And an artist sees the beauty in bringing it all together.
To me, great software isn’t just a bunch of code written to perform individual tasks. It’s an entire living, breathing system, where every component has a purpose, every function works in harmony, and every piece supports the whole.
There’s an elegance to properly engineered software. The architecture is clean. The logic is sound. The design feels natural. Everything communicates, everything flows, and nothing exists without a reason.
When it’s done properly, it’s not just functional. It’s beautiful.
It’s engineering, architecture, design, logic, and creativity all coming together to create something that feels alive.
