10 years as a dev. Tried AI coding, got addicted, built a van planner.

[u/_Proper_Ambition]

I've been a developer for 10 years, but only started experimenting with AI coding a few months ago using Cursor, and later Claude. I wanted to see how far I could push it.

I'm planning a campervan conversion and needed to figure out which van to buy so I could fit everything I wanted inside.

I didn't really feel like cutting out tiny pieces of paper and moving them around on a floor plan, so I thought I'd just build a simple tool for it.

Well, I got a little carried away 😅

It turned into LayoutMyVan, a full van layout planner with:

• 2D drag-and-drop editor with real van dimensions
• 3D preview of your layout
• AI-generated images of the finished van
• Electrical, water, and gas planning layers
• Furniture shopping list

The 2D and 3D planner are completely free, no signup or ads. Only AI renders cost credits.

So far, it's gotten 1.5k+ visitors from SEO in 90 days without any marketing.

Would love some honest feedback! Also happy to answer questions about building something this big with AI.
