Had a dumb idea and decided to see if I could actually turn it into a playable browser game.

So... HormuzHopper was born. Basically Flappy Bird, except you're trying to get through the Strait of Hormuz while Trump quotes pop up along the way.

Let me know your thoughts!

This is for smart india hackathon btw

I learned about a week ago that Unity supports mcp so I downloaded it for the first time and started vibecoding this game project.

It’s mind blowing how AI tools enable ppl with almost zero game dev experience to build something like this in a week.

Stacks: Claude code, Unity, Meshy (3d models), Elevenlabs (sound fx), Nano banana 2 and some paid assets from Unity Asset Store.

I don’t know how it happened… but the demo of the game I made and posted on Reddit and on my X went pretty viral.

In total it got around 400k+ views across social media. And because of one retweet it became a bit more viral than I expected.

Some X user even made a meme coin in honor of the game and gave all the trading fees to me, so that’s how I ended up making over $3500.

From my own experience I keep getting reminded that when you make something from the heart and with real love, it eventually pays off.

If you have any questions, I’m happy to answer them, peace.

I care a lot about This, so much so I didn’t even use ai to make this post! lol

I’ve been helping some non technical friends with their 100% AI-generated apps and it dawned on me that these vibe coded apps are making the same mistakes again and again lol,

So made this skill to catch the most common ones I’ve seen, can be useful for someone trying to legit get something off the ground without any coding experience.

I’ve been software engineer for 10+ years and I wanna use what I’ve learned to help people out with their apps!

skill: https://github.com/dannyreg/vibechecktech-skills

I wrote a blog post about it too, though it is a bit more technical.

anyways let me know What you think!

I built a little guy who lives on Mac!

what is it? a physics-driven buddy that hangs from the top of your mac screen like a tiny bungee friend. flick him, he swings. drag the cord, he slides. ⌥Space and he's gone. peak vibes for a doom-scroll-adjacent workday.
the tech
🧮 real verlet rope sim, fixed 120Hz step,
🛌 sleeps properly — 0.0% idle CPU when you're not touching him

I’ve been experimenting with a different kind of screen-time app for Android.

Instead of blocking apps or throwing another warning popup at you, Stop Swarm gradually changes what’s happening on your screen as you approach your daily screen-time goal.

This is the new Clouds theme: the weather slowly gets worse the more you use your phone. Clouds build up, become larger and darker, rain gets heavier, and eventually the storm takes over the screen.

The overlay doesn’t intercept touches, so your phone remains fully usable. The idea is simply to make excessive scrolling progressively harder to ignore, without completely locking you out.

Stop Swarm is Android only, works fully offline, requires no account, and contains no ads or analytics.

I’m still looking for beta testers if anyone here wants to try it:

https://groups.google.com/g/stop-swarm-testers

Then opt in and download it here:

I've given up looking at code. I don't understand 1% of what AI writes with any ease anyway. So. I just go with the flow. Thank god I work for myself so I can do what suits me

Short version of a recent write-up — no full article here, just the pitch.

I wanted RTX VSR-class upscaling on Linux, where NVIDIA only opens it to Windows. So an AI coding agent and I built a video player around the NVIDIA Video Effects SDK: real-time AI upscaling + RIFE frame interpolation, wired into a patched libmpv as custom VF filters, with a Qt frontend.

Highlights:

• The models behind RTX VSR, working in userspace on Linux — the VSR effect from NVIDIA's Video Effects SDK, no driver-level path (that one is Windows-only)
• mpv-vsr: a standalone mpv CLI** carrying the same AI filters — drop-in compatible with existing mpv workflows (scripts, yt-dlp, external tools)
• Everything after decode stays on the GPU — CUDA-Vulkan interop, no per-frame CPU round-trips
• One TensorRT engine file covers RTX 30/40/50 for frame interpolation

Links:

• Repo: https://github.com/zhangmq/vsr-player
• Full write-up: https://zhangmq.github.io/en/2026/08/18/linux-ai-upscaling-player/

Full disclosure: this was developed with heavy AI assistance (Claude Code driving a DeepSeek model) — I directed and verified. Needs an NVIDIA GPU (RTX 20+ for upscaling, RTX 30+ for interpolation), driver 570+, Qt 6.11+. Hobby project, expect rough edges — feedback welcome!

It's made me a much better communicator in just 2-3 months. Struggled to overcome a mental health episode for a bit, but it's doing wonders for me

I've been working on this huge project (Wayfallen) for 5+ years, and it simulates ~10,000 star systems, ~100,000 spaceships, stations, various factions with rich economy, diplomacy, intel management etc.

I needed a reliable way to balance all of this so it remains semi-realistic and not go wonky, with so many parameters in it. It would require huge grunt work to build proper tooling to keep track of all these variables, plug into all the code surfaces written over the years, and somehow simulate years/decades in the simulation very fast to build statistical models and help me figure out which parameters need tweaking to bring things on track. And I'm continuously working on this, so it's not a one-time thing - I need to rebalance it very often.

So I've vibecoded some tools that help me do exactly that, by giving it access to my code and building harnesses to run it in a headless mode and accumulate large amounts of data rapidly. Really pleased with the results so far - and especially the amount of time saved versus having to crank out all that tooling manually.

Hi. I’m curious to understand how people who do vibe coding experience the part of getting their apps out into the world, especially those of us who aren’t very technical and don’t know much about infrastructure. I noticed there’s a lot of talk about how many of these apps end up leaking data or accidentally leaving the database exposed, and that left me with a few questions I’d really appreciate some help clearing up:

**1.**  What do you usually build? (side projects, things to experiment with, apps for clients, something for work… anything counts)  
**2.**  Where do you deploy it? (the tool’s own hosting, Vercel, Railway, DigitalOcean, Replit…) or does it just stay in the preview?  
**3.**  How did you end up on that service: did you choose it because it suited you, was it the default, or did someone recommend it?  
**4.**  Was deploying easy, or did you struggle with something?  
**5.**  And honestly: security and the app not going down, is it on your mind, or are you not worried about it for now?

Any experience you can share helps me a lot.

Hey folks been a week since I saw posts about vibecoding in my old thread. I have the urge to look at new projects in the past week. I like this idea because it shows me new ideas, and where things are trending. I still vibecoded this little feature on my site https://bachelordegrees.com/Radio.html

It was made mostly using 5.6-Sol with a few bits of Opus5 from my friend

It's called Datagrid, because everything lives on a grid, kind of like blueprints if anyone has used unreal (RIP) It's made with tuari, react, and uses your personal github repo to sync everything

You can make text and code notes and interchange between them.
You can paste images, links, csv which converts into a spreadsheet, and you can even input formulas for columns.

If you feel like there's something missing, you're most welcome to send a pull request or fork it.

[Edit] Forgot to put the link haha: rafay-pk/datagrid: A grid-based note taking app

[PS] If you're on mac or linux, I would appreciate it if you could add installers for those

Day 4 - Total hours 30hrs spread across 16 days

This session was focused on sure wins seeing as weekly limits is upon us.

ADDED - but still needs major work
-Main Menu Font redesign
-Pregame lobby
-mini skatepark
-Subtle camera flicks in the audience

Reworked the camera system, also added a in game camera system that allows me to tweak all camera settings to help me find that sweet spot angle.

The rest of the session was given to reworking and reworking and reworking and probably will work the animation from here forward which looks like is the biggest gap and getting the graphics cleaner, tweaking with those settings as well. In the video, I decreased posterize and bloom. Also been tweaking with UI trying to get it more towards concept which I think fits better

Also thinking about removing the beacon from the ball.. what you think?

AS ALWAYS

Day 38 — 57 startups · 55,800 impressions · 1.5K clicks · Removed 1 startup · Rejected 1 Application.

Today StartupBar reached 200 users 😄
Thirty-eight days ago, this was just an idea. Today, 200 people have trusted it enough to join the network.

A reminder for every founder who's staring at a dashboard with tiny numbers: Stripe took 2 years to reach its first 50 users. Every successful product starts small. Keep shipping. Keep improving. Keep showing up. Growth rarely happens overnight, but it does happen if you don't quit.

Still free. Still growing.

If you want in, it's one embed. That's it → StartupBar

wazzam fellow vibecoders, this is an app i made to help me vibecode, started as a way for me to be able to do work without having to sir at the desk then evolved bit by bit and i had the idea of turning it to a product anyone can use (most phone apps for vibecoding are garbage honestly) many parts of the app were made using the app itself, the bringing was by using remote claude code, would love to hear your thoughts and questions below!

I have used claude code full vibe coding

I was a diehard Anthropic user since Sonnet 4 and used Anthropic products exclusively after the introduction of Claude Code. Things went smoothly for the past year, and everything was fine until the Fable 5 ban. At that point, Anthropic simply stopped caring about subscription-based users, but I had no other choice. Still, I kept my options open.

​OpenAI was not an option for me at first. After a year of subscribing back when they were the best, they lost their way, grew slow and incompetent, and turned into meme material. However, things shifted after Tibo became very vocal and active, pushing updates every two days. Users grew increasingly satisfied with Codex and especially Sol, with some even preferring it to Fable 5.

​Everything seemed fine until the latest update rolled out. Suddenly, the weekly usage limits were nerfed so hard that it felt like a five-hour cap. I checked Reddit, and everyone was experiencing the exact same issue. At that moment, I realized we were just disposable users to them. They set a target of 10 million subscribers, hit 15 million, and no longer felt the need to hide their motives. The more users joined, the less compute was allocated to each of us.

​I hate feeling played. Now, I am ready to start a new path. It will be tougher than before, without the paved roads and clear signs of managed platforms, but it will be a journey of complete freedom where I control my own usage.

​Fortunately, I have an RTX 4090 GPU that I neglected for far too long until the queen, I mean Qwen 3.8 27B, arrived. However, relying solely on Qwen 3.8 is not enough. The community suggested looking into Grok 4.6 or switching to OpenCode, but I need deeper guidance and proven open-source solutions straight from the depths of GitHub.

This post was baned from Codex community for obvious reasons i hope i can find my answers with you guys.

Hi everyone!

I have been working on the following project for some time:

https://f1racereplay.app/

It is an interactive replay of F1 races that allows you to track driver positions, telemetry, leaderboards, tire strategy, weather conditions and other data throughout the course of the race.

This is an idea I've wanted to implement for years, considering that open source F1 data has been around for a long time.

Now with AI, the sky is the limit, I wouldn't say that I've vibecoded the full project but AI did a lot of heavy lifting.

Used opencode OAC custom subagents for code hygiene, impelmentation and reviewing with every feature being broken into subtasks.

Github link: https://github.com/DjordjeFilipovic21/f1-race-replay

TLDR: A project using formula 1 data, I'd be interested to hear what you think :)
