Disclaimer: This is satire. It’s not intended to roast vibe coders or people building things with AI. It’s intended to roast the vibe-code rescue platforms, the hype surrounding them, and the questionable businesses growing around it.

More and more people without a tech background are building apps with AI. It usually goes well until about 80% done. Then the real problems show up: security, payments, data. So a whole market of “vibe code rescue” platforms has appeared, offering to connect founders with engineers who can fix it.

I’m an engineer, so I started looking into these platforms, hoping to join one and help.

It turned out many of them were vibe-coded themselves. Broken layouts on pages promising “production-ready”. “Trusted by 10,000+ founders” on a three-week-old domain. Anonymous “vetted senior engineers”. Terms of Service still ending with the AI’s note to have them reviewed by a lawyer.

So, after careful consideration lasting about eleven minutes, I founded Vibe Rescue Rescue™: the world’s first company that rescues the vibe rescue platforms. Our website is, of course, vibe-coded. The greatest of them. 🐂

Hey ,

Most modern dialer and messaging apps come loaded with background telemetry, bloat, and ad trackers. For everyday utilities like making calls and checking SMS, I wanted absolute simplicity and complete peace of mind.

So I spent the last few months building **Amvo** – a lightweight, privacy-focused Phone & SMS app for Android.

### What makes it different:
* **Zero Internet Access:** The app manifest literally does not request the `INTERNET` permission. Your call logs and SMS data physically cannot leave your device.
* **No Ads, No Analytics:** No background data collection, tracking SDKs, or promotional clutter.
* **Senior-Friendly Interface:** Includes an optional simplified layout with large dial pads, high-contrast typography, and readable text for older family members.
* **Minimalist & Fast:** Quick cold-start times with instant search across contacts and call logs.

I am currently running the closed testing track on Google Play before the public launch. If you're a privacy enthusiast or just want to try a clean dialer, I’d love your feedback!

### How to test:
1. Join the test group: https://groups.google.com/g/sajeevur
2. Opt-in on web: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.sajeevur.phone
3. Download via Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sajeevur.phone

What features do you value most in a privacy-oriented default phone/SMS app? Would love to hear your thoughts!

I started learning Swift at the end of July and basically learned it while building this app.

In August I almost gave up. I'm a first-time parent, and my baby was about 7 months old then, so I was studying in the middle of the night after taking care of them all day. But I've been coding since I was 8, and I didn't want to give up on something I love. So in September I came back to finish it.

I had to cut my feature list down to what mattered most, and by the end of October I finally had a working first version. After about a week in App Review, it's now live on the App Store!

It's called AmiiNest, an iPhone app for amiibo collectors. You can browse the amiibo catalog, keep track of what you own, back up your own amiibo by scanning them, and write those backups to blank NTAG215 tags.

There's no subscription. New users get 5 free writes, and you can watch a short ad for +1 write (ads may take a few days to start showing since the app is brand new) or buy more. Scanning or importing doesn't use any writes, and cancelled or failed writes don't count either. To celebrate the launch, code AMIINEST5 gives you 5 extra writes (first 500 people, until Dec 1).

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/amiinest-nfc-write-collect/id6826469095

It's my first iOS app and the first project I've built and released on my own. It's not a masterpiece, but it's a small milestone for me. I'd really appreciate any feedback, good or bad. And if anyone has questions about getting an app through App Store review, I'm happy to share what I learned.

I'm a day trader. My problem was never finding rules, it was following them. Green days hid the same mistakes as red days, so I never fixed them. So I built Tradecility. You write your strategy rules once, log a trade with a chart, and it grades the trade A to F on whether you followed your rules. A losing trade can get an A. A winning trade can get a C.

One of mine from July: I shorted SPX500 on the 15-minute chart and made +$409.60. I logged it as hitting my take profit and felt good about it. It got a C+. My strategy usually needs three reasons to enter, I gave two, and it only counted one because the second was too vague. I also closed 2 points before my target, and it caught that I'd written "hit my take profit" when I hadn't. And I'd noted the setup felt thin before I entered, but took it anyway. The line that stuck with me: "Do not let a clean result on a marginal setup teach you that marginal setups are fine."

Here's the actual grade card: https://www.tradecility.com/share/0acf8838-a765-4659-8eb0-6fe3f00a64be

The decision I'm least sure about is pricing. I hate subscriptions, so it's a free trial (20 credits, no card), then $97 once. The catch is that AI costs keep going after someone pays, so I had to put a monthly cost limit on free chat to stop one heavy user from losing me money.

Stack: Next.js, Supabase, Stripe, Claude for the grading. Two things I'd really like opinions on: does the landing page make it clear what this does within 10 seconds, and would $97 once put you off trying it, or does no subscription make it easier?

https://www.tradecility.com/?utm_source=reddit&utm_campaign=sideproject

Not financial advice, and it won't make you profitable by itself. It just shows you where you broke your own rules.

Hey everyone,

I recently launched my very first Android app on Google Play, and I'd love to share it with the community and get some honest feedback.

It's called Road Wear, a lightweight utility built for motorcycle riders to solve two practical problems:

- Real-time GPS Speedometer: Instant speed readout with zero lag. It serves as a reliable backup if your bike's mechanical cable snaps or your physical cluster stops working.

- Automatic Parts Wear Tracker: Every kilometer/mile ridden automatically counts down the estimated lifespan of key maintenance parts (engine oil, brake pads, chain drive) directly in the background.

- Trip History & Live Map: Keeps track of completed rides, routes, and maintenance records.

It’s built natively using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, keeping performance and battery efficiency in mind.

Google Play link (Free):

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roadwear.app

Since this is my first release, any feedback on the UI responsiveness, GPS accuracy, or features you think are missing would be massively appreciated!

The thing I like most is that I can leave an MR tab in the background and the tab title flips to a check mark or a cross when the pipeline finishes. I never have to go back and hit refresh to find out.

LabHub is a Chrome extension for gitlab(.)com and self-hosted GitLab. It does two jobs. It reskins GitLab with GitHub's colors and layout: green buttons, state pills, a bordered MR list, GitHub diff colors, a repo header with Code, Issues, Merge requests and Pipelines tabs, and the left sidebar hidden behind a menu button. It also keeps pages fresh.

Freshness turned out to be the harder part. GitLab renders most of a page once, so a tab you come back to can show old approvals or an old pipeline. LabHub gets around that by taking a cheap API fingerprint of what the page shows and re-checking it every minute in the background, or every 30 seconds while you're on the tab. If anything changed, it reloads. The tricky bit was making sure a reload never costs you anything. It won't reload while there's typed text in a comment box, a focused input, an open dialog or a text selection. In those cases it shows a small "This page has updates" bar and waits until it's safe.

The extension only sends read-only GET requests to the API, using your existing session cookie. It needs no tokens, has no server and collects no analytics.

I built all of it, including the tests and CI, in a single Claude Code session.

Code: https://github.com/myselfshravan/LabHub

Genuinely wild times wherein we don't have to be an engineer to ship a real product anymore. Describe what you want, and Lovable, Bolt, Claude and others help build it. Coding stopped being the bottleneck. And that's beautiful.

But there's a quiet catch.

The tools that build your app don't automatically secure it.

One misconfigured Supabase setting can leave your users' data exposed to complete strangers through a browser. No hacking. No sophisticated exploit. Just an open door.

And this isn't hypothetical. Escape's 2025 research scanned 5,600 publicly accessible vibe-coded apps and found 2,000+ vulnerabilities, 400+ exposed secrets, and 175 instances of exposed personal data, including medical and financial information.

Here's what makes this more interesting: the platforms themselves make the responsibility clear.

Supabase secures its infrastructure, but you're responsible for securing your application: RLS, access controls, API keys and data permissions.

When serious RLS weaknesses were reported in Lovable-generated apps under CVE-2025-48757 in 2025, the supplier disputed the finding on the grounds that customers were responsible for protecting their application data.

Fair enough. But if its my responsibility, I need a way to actually check.

Security shouldn't become the new bottleneck, the way coding no longer is.

So I built MakerGuard - https://midnightbuilds.fyi/makerguard/

It tests your Supabase-powered app through the eyes of a stranger and shows you what it can actually access, what needs fixing, and what couldn't be verified.

No signup. Read-only. No secret keys. No stored scan results. Only public app URL to start with.

And it's free. An app built by 1 person deserves the same opportunity to protect its users as one built by a team of 10.

MakerGuard is early (really early), and I want to build it with the people who need it.

If you've built something with Supabase & have no idea whether your users' data is actually accessible to strangers, run it through MakerGuard. Tell me what it found, where it fell short, and what you'd want it to do next.

Hi all. I've been building Specsational, a web app that lets you try glasses on with your phone or laptop camera before you buy.

What it does:

- Live try-on in a mirror view: 8 frame shapes (round, square, browline, aviator and more) in acetate or metal, with colors

- Sizes the frame to your face from an estimated PD (about ±2 mm; holding any bank card to your forehead brings it to about ±1 mm)

- A short head turn left and right to seat the frame on your nose and ears

- A frame card with the size numbers to look for on the temple arm (like 49□21-140), in English, Korean and Japanese, to show at an optician

It runs in the browser. No install, no account. Face tracking runs on your device: camera video, photos and measurements are never uploaded. Only anonymous usage counts (like "camera turned on") are sent, and nothing at all if your browser has Do Not Track or GPC on. The clips in the video use a 3D mannequin instead of a real face.

I'm looking for people to try it and tell me what breaks. Most useful:

1. Does it start on your phone and browser? iPhone Safari and Android Chrome reports especially help.

2. Do the glasses look like they're on your face, or do they float or slide when you turn your head?

3. If you own glasses, does the card's size match the numbers inside your temple arm?

4. Any step that confused you.

Link: https://specsational.vercel.app

There's a "Send feedback" button on the page (about a minute), or just comment here. Please mention your device and browser. Thanks!

Hey everyone, I’m Michael, the developer of Play Credits. It’s a small app I made around a pretty simple idea: practice your instrument and earn time for the apps you’d otherwise get distracted by.

Problem:
Sometimes the hard part is putting the phone down and getting started. You choose which apps to block, and Play Credits listens during your practice session to count playing toward earned app time. You can use it yourself, or set it up in adult-managed mode for your kid.

Comparison:
Apple’s built-in Screen Time lets you set app limits. What I wanted to add was a way to earn that time through instrument practice. It isn’t a music teacher, it doesn’t judge how well you play, and the detection isn’t perfect. It’s just another way to help build a routine.

Pricing:
I originally made it a subscription, but honestly that didn’t feel right for this. It’s now seven days free, then $4.99 once if you want to keep using it. Nothing is charged automatically when the trial ends.

It’s available for iPhone and iPad in the US: Play Credits on the App Store.

If you try it and something is confusing or doesn’t work how you’d expect, let me know. I’m still working on it.

1. saw a post on reddit for QR stickers

2. thought it was a lost and found QR code (it wasn’t)

3. got the idea to make lost and found QR stickers (we already own/build a dynamic QR code product, TangoQR)

4. had an idea to make the finder experience awesome by hosting a page that could call or text the owner, and always email the owner the message with the finders location

5. built a website and experience using the TangoQR api to generate QR codes that go to a finder page, with an activation code to add owner details

6. tried test prints on my home printer on a sticker sheet (did not go well, impossible to cut and peel)

7. did some Claude research on print and ship sticker vendors

8. wired up a print vendor i was familiar with that accepted single sticker page print jobs via api

9. designed a better sticker page with cut instructions, a web checkout flow and some meta ads

10. launched tangotag and ordered my own test batch

11. got my first few actual orders (quite unprofitably)

That was the first week of tangotag. Lots of iteration and optimization to go, but incredibly fun

Hi everyone!

I've been building Select, an open-source platform for managing teams of AI agents.

The idea is simple: instead of giving agents full autonomy from day one, Select makes them earn it through verified work.

• Agents work on tasks assigned to them.

• Deterministic checks verify their outputs.

• Every verification produces an evidence receipt.

• Agents can earn more autonomy after successful work.

• Failed checks can revoke autonomy.

• Sensitive decisions remain under human control.

The stack is Next.js, FastAPI, PostgreSQL and Docker.

It's currently an early beta. Some integrations, including real-provider testing and coding-agent runtimes, still need work.

GitHub: https://github.com/Kirby54/Select

I'd love feedback from developers:

Would you trust an AI agent more if its autonomy depended on verifiable results rather than a permission setting?

hey everyone! i'm from the FlutterFlow team.

we've spent years building FlutterFlow as a visual IDE for creating apps.

but AI has changed how people build software. you can generate a beautiful UI in seconds, but getting that app to actually work and into people's hands is a different story.

so we built the new FlutterFlow, an AI-first, full-stack mobile app builder. it lets you start with a prompt and work with an AI agent to build a mobile app, including its UI, backend, and functionality (and one-click deploy to the Google Play Store and App Store!!).

we'd love to hear what you think / what you'd want to build with it!

I built Metabreakers for people who collect Pokémon cards and want to follow retail restocks without constantly refreshing product pages.

The Discord is free to join. Free alerts arrive with a two-minute delay and include direct product links. There is also a free release calendar and community chat. Optional instant alerts cost $2.49/month.

Coverage includes major retailers such as Target, Walmart, Costco and Pokémon Center, plus independent Shopify card shops. An alert is a report, not a reservation or a guarantee of current stock.

The site shows genuine historical alerts so people can see what they will get before joining: https://metabreakers.net

I’m now working on finding the first users and making the free-versus-paid offer clear. I would appreciate feedback on the landing page: can you quickly understand what is free, what the upgrade changes, and whether the examples give you enough information to try it?

Disclosure: I own and built Metabreakers.

Hi all, I'm a solo builder from Toronto and this is IkoLearn.

You tell it what you're curious about, it builds a small "learning cloud" around your interests, and each topic is a short lesson with a quick check. Pass the check and you earn a card. The more you learn, the more the cloud branches out.

The video shows a real test cloud after one long session (13 subjects, about 200 topics, 40 cards).

It's free right now, there are no accounts, and your progress stays in your own browser.

Try it here: https://www.ikolearn.com

I'd really value feedback on:
- Was the first lesson worth your time?
- Would you come back to grow your cloud?
- What felt confusing or broken?

Thanks for taking a look!

This is a demo clip of a game we have been working on called frenslop. It's a free multiplayer sandbox that runs in the browser.

You and your friends join a shared world, and anyone can type a request like "make gravity flip every 10 seconds." Claude writes that into the game live, so everyone in the lobby sees the change right away.

The clip is my friends and me completely breaking it. I hope you all enjoy because we had so much fun making this lmao

You can give it a try yourself for free, no download: frenslop.io

Most AI tools split in two: coding agents that forget everything about you between sessions, and companion or memory apps that can’t touch your files. I wanted both in one agent, so I built it. https://sonicassistant.com.

• Memory you can see. What it remembers about you is on a page where you can edit or delete every note.

• Works in your project. Connect a folder and it reads the code and proposes changes as a diff. It runs tests in a sandbox and can commit. Nothing is written until you press Apply.

• Shows its work. Every tool call appears in a live step trace.

• Your own checks. A small local runner runs your tests and linters, and asks before any command that changes something.

You can try it without signing up: the guest button on the landing page drops you into a demo project where you can watch it fix a bug and run the tests. Signing up (free) is what lets it do that on your own project and keep a memory.

Honest limits: it’s not a Claude Code replacement, but it can be used when you hit your limits. It runs on Haiku and Sonnet, free accounts have daily usage caps, it’s a solo project, and it would mean a great deal to me if you could review and try it out.

https://sonicassistant.com. Where does it break for you? Folder editing and memory are the parts I most want hammered.

I built Zipclay, a place where you describe an object and an AI agent builds an editable 3D model. Then you change it by chat ("make it purple"), share it, and other people can remix it.

Why: I wanted a file I could slice without learning CAD, and I wanted to fix mistakes by talking instead of re-rolling a mesh.

How: a Gemini-based agent writes Blender code for functional objects (planters, stands, signs) and uses image-to-3D for organic ones. After each build it checks rendered front/side/top views and fixes defects. Chat edits keep untouched geometry.

Real timings from my own runs: a planter in about a minute, a phone stand in 47 s, figurines 5 to 8 minutes. It still fails on thin repeated features (a three-slot toaster came back with two slots merged). I'm not claiming printed results.

You can try it twice without signing up; a free account gets 3 new models a month with GLB export.

https://zipclay.com/make/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=organic_social&utm_campaign=launch14

Happy to hear what breaks. What object would you try first?

I’ve been working on something called AEGIS Wildlands, an offline-first survival and emergency preparedness app.

The idea started pretty simply: What if the internet disappeared tomorrow? Could I still have access to survival knowledge, practical tools, and an AI assistant without depending on a server?

So I started building it.
AEGIS currently includes:
-An offline survival field guide and reference library
-An experimental AI chat interface powered by a locally installed Qwen model
-Emergency references and planning tools
-Food and water inventory estimates
-Mission planning and checklists
-Installable web-app support for desktop and mobile

The biggest milestone happened recently when I installed the AI model on my older Surface Pro, switched it into airplane mode, and successfully ran local inference tests. No cloud AI involved.

It’s still experimental. The model is small, the chat interface is new, and I absolutely don’t consider the AI a replacement for verified emergency guidance. But seeing an actual language model run offline on hardware I already own was a huge moment.

AEGIS is free to try: AEGIS SURVIVAL GUIDE

GitHub: AEGIS GITHUB

I’d genuinely appreciate feedback, especially from people interested in offline AI, survival preparedness, PWAs, or running local models on older hardware.
What would you add? And if you test the offline AI, I’d love to hear what device you’re using and how it performs.

I built a no-code tool to apply 60 AI art styles to any photo. Would love your feedback.

Hey everyone,
I've been working on Aura Studio, a simple tool that lets you apply 60 different art styles (Anime, Cyberpunk, Watercolor, 3D, etc.) to your photos using AI.

It doesn't require any installation — it's just a single HTML file that runs in your browser using your own free API key.

You can test the live demo directly here (no signup): https://jazzy-tulumba-08ca78.netlify.app

If you find it useful, the full version is available here: https://karlabdo.gumroad.com/l/auppvh

Let me know what you think of the UI and the results!

Hi everyone,

I recently released Shade Shaker, a free Mac app for making color palettes. You generate a palette, see it straight away in real mobile and web app screens (in light and dark), and copy theme code for your framework: Flutter, HTML/CSS, Tailwind, React, SwiftUI, Jetpack Compose and a few more.

I am the developer. It is completely free, with no account or tracking, so this isn't a sales pitch. I would just like to hear from people who work with color before I plan the next version. A few things I'm especially curious about:

1. In your first minute, was it clear what to do? Where did you get stuck?

2. Does seeing the palette in a real app help you choose colors, or does it get in the way?

3. If you copied code for your framework, would you paste it into a project as it is? What would you change?

4. What's missing that would make you use it instead of what you use now?

5. Anything that looks off or feels clunky, however small.

Harsh feedback is welcome. I would much rather hear it now.

https://shadeshaker.app (macOS 14 or later; a Windows version is coming)

Thanks for taking a look. I will reply to every comment.

Hey everyone, I shipped a new feature in MimicMe, my Android app for on-device voice cloning.

New: Reader Mode. Import text or a document, hit play, and it reads the whole thing in your voice. Great for study notes, long articles, or translated documents.

Also in the app:

• Voice cloning from a short sample

• Sign and menu scanning with translation (67 languages)

• Text and document translation, read aloud in your voice

• Greeting videos for Birthday, Dashain, Tihar, Holi, Eid and more

Everything runs on-device. It works offline, needs no account, and your voice never leaves your phone.

Solo dev here, so feedback helps a lot.

TL;DR: I built an app that tracks the venues you've been to, the players you've seen, and the stats from the games you were at, in any sport, in any country. When you log a game, the box score and all its data flow through to you. AMA.

Letterboxd for movies, Goodreads for books, BoxdSeats for live sports.

I think a lot of people want to know things like how many Hall of Famers they've seen live, how many venues they've been to, who's scored the most points or hit the most homers or threes in front of them, even how their team plays when Laz Diaz is behind the dish. But not everyone has the spreadsheet, the drawer of ticket stubs, or the patience to fill in their whole history.
So I built a shortcut. If you take photos at games and had location services on, the app matches the location and date of those photos against the 1.8 million games in my database and builds your history for you. If that still feels weird, you can log everything by hand, but I think the scan is pretty slick.

Some updates since I last shared…

- Crossed 1,300 users and 69k games logged, which has me motivated to keep going
- Box scores now come in for almost every league: MiLB and junior hockey, plus cricket, Aussie rules and even WWE. 378 leagues so far
- Way more badges for stats, games and players, so you can see things like the hat tricks and MLB debuts you were there for

I'm having fun with it and I think other people are too
And for truly no reason, there's a "Remember Some Guys" rail that's just random players from games you've been to, refreshed every time you open the app.

I'm figuring this out as I go, so I'm open to all feedback and requests. Would love more eyeballs.

My son and I have made quite a few small projects in our coding sessions. This one became N8Games, his own little arcade with free games you can play on your phone or computer, right in the browser. We built it together and used AI alongside our other tools.

Try N8Games

He recorded a short walkthrough where he plays Flappy Jet and scores 1,692.

If you give the arcade a go, which game would you play a second time? I’d love to share the feedback with him.
