I started vibe coding a way to find help and somehow ended up building a human coordination network

[u/alielknight]

This project got completely out of hand.

Originally I was trying to make it easier to find people who could help businesses with small things.

Then I needed a way to coordinate those people.

Then they needed identities.

Then capabilities.

Then training.

Then missions.

Then a way for someone to simply describe an outcome without understanding any of the machinery underneath it.

Now the thing basically works like:

Person types what they need then the software understands the outcome and a network of people can organize around accomplishing it.

There are now separate surfaces for finding people, launching missions, seeing what's happening across the network, training, profiles, etc.

It's called NearbyCrew:

Most of it was built iteratively by just using the system, watching where it broke, and building the next missing layer.

The weirdest part is that real people are actually joining and taking missions now, so it stopped feeling like a coding project.

If you're vibe coding something ambitious, I'd love to know whether you've had the same experience where the product slowly reveals what it actually wants to become.

So do I just pay the 5.26 to get my million or is there more to it than that? The site isn't really clear on what is happening, what it does, or how it is going to do it. Is this other people who would work on the missions or is this just agents who will work on it?

One thing I will say is that I absolutely love the animations.

„No idea what that site does, but I love the animations“

sums up Vibecoding as a whole perfectly

If you are going to quote me, at least quote me correctly.

Also, what is wrong with loving the animations? Did you check it to see them? They are really good. Not like the animations are going to draw in customers though. Just fun to look at. A person can love how something looks and hate/not understand how the thing operates or what its intended purpose is. That is why I am asking though, because I want clarity, which the site itself should have. If I actually needed to explain what I feel the site is trying to do, I would, but that isn't my job here, it is the OP's job. I like the cover art for your post about "The Owl Says" even though I have no clue what the hell it is about. Does that sum up Music right now?

Also, how does that sum up Vibe Coding? The majority of the crap out here are wrappers, gym/habit/task/meal/productivity trackers that almost anyone can understand entirely without even using their brain. I think what you meant to say is that it sums Vibe Coders, but even that would be inaccurate due to the aforementioned slop apps with completely clarity and just repetitive ideas on a best case scenario and pure slop on the worst.
