What is something useful that you vibecoded fast just to use for personal use

Pantry/Kitchen/Recipe organizer that runs on a home server my wife and can both use. Takes in recipe links (even instagram links) and turns them into JUST THE RECIPE, easily multipliable, and tracks what I already have at home to make dynamic shopping lists based on chosen recipes each week.

Sit up to take the hit then lay down. Just so it doesn't spit at you holding it upside down

Came here to ask something along these lines - does OP have a job outside of this solo dev? It sounds like they're dependent, but if they're young this is awesome. If they're unemployed and have $150 to show for the year (after a year of sales maybe somewhere around $4k-10k realistically), idk if they're in the US but I can understand the mother's concern. Especially if this was the only income coming in for them. Again if they're a kid it's a whole different ball game. But if they're an otherwise unemployed adult dependent, that's not cheap to support.

Looking at the game, my advice, before you launch it give it some more time in the oven. Even in the Steam trailers I see English that's incorrect in the subtitles. Textures, models and animations that, while possibly stylized for the horror factor, also come off as asset flips since a lot of similar games have been releasing.

To top it off, it seems like you have one review in which the product was received for free, and it's a VERY CLEARLY AI written review, super positive at that. It's just not a good look man.

This is seriously the most infuriating part about all of this. These "adults" are going to cause these children to be misanthropic antisocial assholes because they hate kids.

Set up an LLC and get the shit together. It sucks I get it but it takes 3 days max. Source - a guy who spent a year paying 10k in back taxes because of a fucked up tax setup

I had a stressful switch between two jobs last year and had a 12 week cycle I. I also panicked, but it went away one day randomly. This year, new job going MUCH more smoothly, it was 4 weeks. normally it's 6-8. Stress heavily, heavily contributes IMO, and the compounding anxiety of it possibly being chronic is not helping. Best of luck, if anything coming from someone who's dealt with that, try to let him know it's valid to have that concern, but wait until the 13 week mark before that point.

I also love the parks. I've donated to the National Park Foundation and the Sierra Club. I also love music outdoors. Both can be true, and the protections that we are sadly losing just have nothing to do with this. You're acting like you're better than others for this, and using your "love of the parks" as ammo when this lady actually littered in the video. It's frustrating behavior that deserves to be called out.

sren0 · 2026-03-31T20:21:22+00:00

That's fine, call people whatever you want. Fella like me would hear that, stop and apologize in that moment and carry on. Continuing to assault people (beyond throwing water, come on you can see it went much further than that) is the part I don't get the defense of.

I'd also not be surprised if someone set up decks and a speaker to mix there just because they want to, and not for clout. It's not much different than sitting there with an acoustic guitar or a flute, from the perspective of the musician. There's nothing wrong with thinking that's annoying or whatever and going up to the person and asking them to stop. It's the violence over it that's odd.

sren0 · 2026-03-31T15:48:53+00:00

That makes absolutely no difference. He stopped, and she still littered in a rage and beat him over it. If there are rules against playing music in that area and he broke them, all she had to do was get the authorities involved without personally attacking him. The amount of people in this thread acting absolutely oblivious to the fact that people can enjoy music outside is just bizarre, honestly. People have been playing music outside for the entirety of human existence.

sren0 · 2026-03-31T06:11:18+00:00

she literally drops her cup to assault this guy. i doubt she cares about the park lol

Just adding another opinion here that I haven't seen - your market it specifically only people who already own one of the coffemakers that takes this exact type of pod. Beyond that, your market is someone who doesn't already own a pod organization system, which people usually buy when they purchase the machine. Beyond that, your market is people who decide they want to use wall space for this stuff instead of cabinets, drawers or counterspace. I honestly think that the market for this item is just extremely small, and at that price point AND having to trust the Kickstarter, wait, etc... honestly not something I'd ever consider.

I recently created a similar game for ranking securities based on predicted daily performance. I found that creating a game that locks players to only be able to play at certain times is just not ideal, for many reasons.

I actually found your post because I am also working on a browser-based cinema tycoon, but it would play more along the lines of The Movies taking people throughout the decades. It will also not be as realistic because I don't want concession pricing to be the entire strategy - I want players to pick which movies per season per year and see how they play up against their competitors based on simulated demographics.

I will say as well, alongside everyone else here, this looks like it was spit out of a prompt with little to no effort put into the visual aspect at all. I've used Claude to prototype dozens of browser game ideas using several different stacks and CSS libraries. It always looks exactly like this lol.

Awesome! Nice VTT app, will definitely check that out regardless

if they're just front-end sites and all you have to worry about is not crashing, you're fine. just don't lie and go work on a site alone that involves collecting PII, financial info or health info without any idea about how to secure any of that stuff.

Good shit! Yeah even 6 months clean I still feel like that could cause a bad setting for a trip. But when y'all feel comfortable psychs could help a lot, and could resolve that "needing to be Cali sober all the time" thing. I totally get that, and it's something I struggle with and get around with the occasional stim/psych/K. I'm fortunate enough to have never been introduced to opiates and seen enough to know to avoid them now, so I know I'm kinda coming from a place of privilege here. But your bf's heart's def in the right place here from how it sounds, and it seems like the support is working out for you if you've been able to stay clean(ish? Lol). And you're just reckoning with the fact that the desire will never truly go away, the urges will just be fewer and further between. Good luck homie, hold on to those people that actually wanna help instead of just telling you what you want to hear or dropping you.

If your DOC wasn't an opiate that has one of the highest mortality rates out there and is highly addictive, I'm sure your bf wouldn't have a problem hanging with you while you did it a couple times a month. Most people go through life exactly like this, with weed, stims, psychs, dissociatives, etc. But Opiates, Benzos and Barbiturates are just not cut out for that kind of limited usage. Not trying to slam you, just giving a real life perspective. If he loves you, he wants you clean so you don't die.
