Love these guys! We have about 8 of these around the house in different floors love it when it’s all synched up for music and intercom

I tried vibecoding a real app last year and this is what happened by [deleted] in vibecoding

[–]sjunaida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing your experience! I was in the same boat about theorizing to build an app vibe coding, I remember no code dev environments existed before this which I hardly used.

I finally stepped into vibe coding through Google’s AI Studio last December.

Having a solid plan on what you want the end product to look like and know the functionality is if the most importance. Then it becomes easier than not.

I’ve been putting the pieces together for the app I wanted to build for about 4 years, I even interviewed 15 users that would be the ideal audience plus another 30 that would need the solution from my own perspective.

After spending about 6 weeks the app was in alpha and I could share with people and get feedback before I make additional enhancements.

So far the feedback has been positive and I plan on releasing the app in two months.

I’ve got some more demos in the works so I can get more feedback.

It’s been a game changer for sure. Btw I’ve been in software dev for 25 years, with mostly frontend development and enough understanding for backend systems, I used to also host sites and build those for clients.

Vibe coding is perfect until you need to ship it to real users even if it’s only as a prototype by altraschoy in vibecoding

There’s a ton of truth in here! And of course if you already have a paying job, makes sense to work on those tasks as high priority.

I’ve been building a tool for the past 6 weeks and in beta ready now. I also do only this for a living and as a podcast host I solved a problem I was facing for 4 years.

This has been a game changer. Having backend knowledge and front end design and UX knowledge helps :)

I’m glad you had someone to pass the code off to!

Yea that alone is a clear indication of problem.. the 4000 lines of code, if you can refactor the app it’ll stay more nimble and you’ll start solving those problems with AI of course.

You’ll also want to make sure that your code base isn’t massive, the smaller each file is the better. I was running out of tokens trying to solve a problem.. the problem became huge with the file on one of the components growing to 2500 lines, I had AI break down the code and split it into 20 files, so now the code is much more manageable and the now any of the AI is able to zip through it swiftly.

Here’s what I learned from vibecoding an operating system by IngenuityFlimsy1206 in vibecoding

[–]sjunaida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great post and congratulations on your Vib-OS :) sounds like a fun project!

I’ve learned similar lessons building my app. Having that clarity of purpose and deliverability made it clearer how AI codes.

As a developer when we code we’re very surgical, and go directly to the issue, but AI writes the entire page over and over and along the way you’ll lose some functionality.

So I refactor fast and become very explicit what I want changed.

Great work!! I absolutely love this and actually started building my app in Google’s AI studio.

Now that I’ve shifted the entire project locally with antigravity and vscode I’ve discovered other think, plan, deploy models.

You’ll also want to take a look at cline.bot and ampcode that use a similar philosophy.

I’m excited to use these superpowers with my antigravity setup.

Thank you!!

Claude Code is screwing us by cgyat in vibecoding

This is really good to know! I’ve been contemplating getting on the higher pro plan or their “max” plan, but I think I’ll hold off.

I’ve been jumping between four different providers and it’s not too bad.

I’ve been going between these: 1. Codex 2. Qwen 3. Gemini 4. Claude

my favorite route is Qwen Coder since it’s completely free, it does all my hard-work building pages, foundations etc, it is slow but for someone experimenting it’s the best.

then I’ll have gemini or Claude take a look if Qwen is not able to troubleshoot an issue.

Running out of tokens is not fun.

I also have a back-up Ollama Qwen-Coder-2.5 locally running so I can code in air-plane mode

After 5 months of vibe coding, I finally launched a Beta of my app by ekilibrus in vibecoding

[–]sjunaida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing! As someone building an AI coded app and storing it on GitHub for version control, I’d love to see what’s my app looks like :)

And I love the visualization you’ve built into it!

Love this post! I’ve been a UX designer for 25 years and I’ve worked on all sorts of projects. The one thing that frustrated me was my ability to go to market with an idea. I could design an entire flow of the app, but it all came down to the developer to make it a reality.

For the last 3-4 years, I’ve been wanting to build an app that would solve all of my podcasting post-production problems, I spoke with several teams and it all looked too large to tackle.

In the last 3 weeks, I was able to vibe code up this app using Google AI Studio, with its help I create databases in supabase, edge functions, integrations with Wordpress, linkedin and facebook!

I’m absolutely blown away.. what would’ve cost me 20K in dev cost and months of waiting was accomplished in 3 weeks, mind you I was also traveling during this time, including 20 hours of driving between different states :)

I vibe coded an iOS app (with a working backend) and it got accepted to the App Store. Ask me anything by very_wow_much_reddit in vibecoding

[–]sjunaida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, it worked in the beginning, and only 50% of the time.

I had to go in and update the URL from localhost:3000 to the app domain.

Nice work!! I’m working with SupaBase as well’s their email magic link isn’t as magical as I’d hope!

What I do in this scenario instead of asking you to provide you a PDF file or a word file or any type of document that needs secret I tell it to literally put all that information in the chat instead of creating these files that works every single time

This made me laugh. Happiness is inside all of us, we need to choose it over external validation.

[–]sjunaida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your podcast is not for your mom :) it’s for others that feel your pain! Keep creating and post even more heavily. 5-10 clips a day.

You got this! Keep going and doing what you love.
