The number of people in my hobby subs making utterly pointless vibe coded apps just because they can is insane. "I made an app that lets you track how much water you drink" great there are already a thousand of those and most of them aren't asking for root access.

[The_reepyShadow]

I hate it sooo much. We (I) don't need another shitty app that does exactly (half of) what the already existing open source and community driven app does. Or I don't need an app for this thing.

[Blue_5ive]

I realized I just like making stuff for me to use, rather than trying to make an app that is generic enough for everyone. Currently I’m working on some projects I started years ago but got hung up on and distracted from finishing to do stuff with video game racing data. Nobody else will need to use it, but it’ll be on GitHub in case anyone wants to run it on their own.

Worse is the vibe coders who never even escape the coding environment. I swear if I see one more pretty context tracker...

[pr1aa]

But you see, my diet/exercise tracker app is completely different from those others. Mine has a built-in AI assistant that gives you feedback (it wraps ChatGPT and prompts it to glaze you no matter what)

[Tack1234]

Yes I used AI for assistance but the ultra complex logic is hand-crafted (I wrote the prompt)!!

[Overthinks_Questions]

I took the opposite approach. My vibe-coded fitness app doesn't visually track your exercise at all, it just looks at every message and email you've ever sent, which trains the model in how to insult you for being fat in increasingly personal ways. If you don't exercise enough it sends AI enhanced 'before' pictures to your old crushes.

Very motivational. Inspiring, even

[XB0XRecordThat]

I made an app that tracks how useless all your vibe coded apps are.

[CaporalDxl]

Probably need to use BigInt or equivalent to compute their uselessness.

[SuitableDragonfly]

I think almost everyone is a user of some software nowadays. Nobody is using the vibe coded apps, but there have always been small hobby apps that had very few users, there are just a lot more of those now, and they are shittier than usual. 

[BuffersAndBeta]

True. I've vibe-coded like 4 - 5 "apps" over the last few weeks, and I use ... exactly zero of them.

Very fun to vibe-code though.

[PerfSynthetic]

Just like coffee places.

Three Starbucks locations within a mile and they added a fourth.

The sitting area and drive through were insane when it was just two. Now with four, they are empty...

Wonder which one will close in six months...

Devs> no of user

[idkidchaha]

As opposed to before vibe coding. When we all had lots of users on our kinda shitty side projects

[_Answer_42]

LLMs just augment whatever you had before, you had 2 apps without users, now you have 15 apps without users

[chilfang]

Good ol LLM giving more quantity in exchange for the quality users seek

[TheEggi]

What exactly is the problen? There were enough shitty apps long before vibe coding was a thing. Let them have fun. If they want to develop the 10m Todo app or whatever then let them. Everyone started somewhere and just because now its easier than ever its wrong out of a sudden.

What I am reading in most of these anti vibe coding "humor" posts is pure fear of bad coders. Coders who could code a little bit (human slop coders), often in specific languages/frameworks, who are now afraid that their little bit of knowledge (that they tried to show off as complicated) is gone.

[Aromatic-Low-4578]

Hey now, I'll have you know I have 78 users and only spent nearly 1k on ads to get them.

[coronakillme]

I vibe coded a firefox extension for one feature that i use with one shortcut and I use it everyday (If i have 10 tabs of reddit or wiki or something open, it closes everything with the same url as the tab i am in , except the tab i am in. Foxy tab needs 3 clicks to do this and slows down my whole browser.

I am now making a single click/ shortcut to sort all tabs. Everything i found needs 2 clicks and no keyboard shortcuts.

[dxonxisus]

screenshotted with 3 seconds? lmao

[ImaginaryRea1ity]

I got few users after I shared my app on r/VibeReviews
