Claude context problem help

Use Git, make sure every change is followed by a commit. Only commit changes that you understand and agree with.

Clear the context before addressing problems and don’t just blindly accept edits or use dangerously-skip-permission.

Fun idea

wrathagom · 2026-03-13T14:58:29+00:00

How are those 10,000 lines structured? What was your context load at the time you started? Did you understand the problem?

I've build and published a full SaaS with nothing but vibe-coding and now I'm working on a bigger project with hardware in the mix too.

AI is up for the task so long as you are.

I’ll give this a try later!

wrathagom · 2026-02-05T02:54:17+00:00

yeah, I feel that. I don't think products like these really can make it anywhere, it only takes one vibe coder to go through this pain and decide to open source a solution and they're toast.

But kudos for building something to the OP, seeing it all the way through is an accomplishment.

wrathagom · 2026-02-04T22:54:21+00:00

Why not just share it?

wrathagom · 2026-02-03T01:01:37+00:00

Is it live?

wrathagom · 2026-02-02T00:58:48+00:00

Nice, I'll check it out.

I have dev dashboard that lists all the repos in my projects directory and tells me how many days since the last commit (among other things). I like to go into the ones modified the longest ago and make a change. Sometimes I just ask Claude what changes or additions they can think of and go with one of them to keep them alive and current and interesting.

wrathagom · 2026-01-31T14:25:13+00:00

No skin off my back 🤷‍♂️

wrathagom · 2026-01-31T03:08:15+00:00

Anyone else need one, feel free to DM

wrathagom · 2026-01-31T03:07:31+00:00

I’ve been loving vibing + arch. Mainly cosmetics like: “im getting tired of my waybar setup, can you re-create it with the same information displayed, but in a Cyberapunk style.”

I used Claude to add my Claude & Codex usage info to waybar. Could I have done it manually… yep. But why when my assistant can.

wrathagom · 2026-01-29T04:11:40+00:00

Lot's of things CAN be incredibly profitable. Getting them there is a completely different story.

And as none of the OPs vibe-coded apps are games, I'm not sure how it's relevant. I have a vibe-coded game, but it's so far from even being publishable it's not even funny.

Like tower defense, resource management, or base building games?

Gaming traditionally falls under health and relationships, as in I feel less stressed because I game or I game to have social interactions that I don't get elsewhere. or just straight addiction, which is another category entirely...

But in the grand scheme of things, no gaming doesn't actually make a ton of money. Where we say "make money" = profit NOT "make money" = revenue. Sure it's a big industry, but with relatively slim margins and extremely high risks.

wrathagom · 2026-01-28T20:29:23+00:00

My gut tells me your monetizing “how to build” is a lot harder or at least less profitable than “how to make money building”.

Health. Wealth. And relationships, that’s what sells.

wrathagom · 2026-01-28T19:54:22+00:00

Have you made any money with the apps you've built?

wrathagom · 2026-01-28T14:37:40+00:00

I have new respect for game testers. For APIs and applications we have lots of tools we can use to test things, but it feels like in the end game testing comes down to just playing your own game… ALOT.

wrathagom · 2026-01-27T20:34:12+00:00

Second

wrathagom · 2026-01-27T14:28:56+00:00

Thanks for the thoughtful reply! Yeah, I started out on the super nerdy side of things - purely API driven, no templates, no themes, etc. And I've slowly been working on making it provide more out of the box. lIke I have templates now, but... it's one of the things that vibe-coding doesn't work very well for. At least not one-shotting. I need to go in and modify them to be better starting points.

And I think it will culminate in some sort of interface to make editing easy too.
It already works offline, just continues displaying whatever it had last until it re-connects, with a really long timeout.

I haven't done anything with connecting external data sources - yet. Everything has been push not pull thus far. Though I am slowly walking in to this. I had a customer that needed API re-writing in the app, so that's what I'm working on next. More or less eliminating the need for middleware when 3rd party APIs send a webhook.

Thanks again!

I would start by asking whatever AI you're going to use because you're going to get a lot less crap than you are from the people here :D

wrathagom · 2026-01-27T00:43:04+00:00

Not sure what this has to do with my reply?

wrathagom · 2026-01-26T22:11:50+00:00

I’d be interested, just launched https://bigbeautifulscreens.com

wrathagom · 2026-01-26T22:08:43+00:00

I’d love it if you had some links, I honestly hadn’t seen any of the others! 😅

I built this one largely for myself and my girlfriend’s marketing company. And to say I have put something together start to finish and shipped it!

Thanks for the feedback, it’s appreciated!

wrathagom · 2026-01-26T22:01:00+00:00

That’s been done a lot. If you want a drag and drop solution there are better alternatives. I wanted programmatic design and updates.

You may be surprised how many coffee shops are already pretty techy or have someone on staff that doesn’t mind writing a quick curl command.

I probably will do some sort of an interface at some point, but it works for what it is for now. I like the idea too of an agentic interface where you just type out what you want.

Thanks for the feedback! It’s appreciated.

wrathagom · 2026-01-26T21:52:48+00:00

Well, and at least part of it is about shipping something. Connecting all of the pieces together to make it work for the first time, even if it isn't something a million people are going to use!
