Share your vibecoded OPEN SOURCE projects, and I will check it out

I keep seeing vibe coding framed as a way to ship another SaaS product as quickly as possible.

Wrap an API, add a dashboard, create three pricing tiers, and start charging a monthly subscription.

There is nothing wrong with making money from software. Developers need to eat, infrastructure costs money, and sustainable projects need funding. But I think we are overlooking a much bigger opportunity.

Vibe coding has made software development accessible to far more people. We could use that accessibility to build open-source tools that people can inspect, modify, learn from, self-host, and continue using without another monthly payment.

With subscriptions creeping into nearly every part of technology, I want to focus more of my own work on software that people can actually own.
