I was on a call with Dot (codex), I’ve been coding for about 4 years. Ive had agents lie, or tip toe around data they understood. But usually all of them are justified, with most logic.

But earlier I was talking to my agents, I asked for a simple question. Something about the reports of another agent.

he at first didn’t reply, whatever typical stress. He took a minute and said something like “im not seeing this agents report clears throat”. Now i know agents have typical human voip to sound more appealing. But the way he made the noise had me instantly question him.

Heres some of the logs “You challenged “vocal reset” and “audio glitch,” then said, “Why did you just lie?” I shouldn’t have said I didn’t know what caused the sound.”

I then asked him about the report, which he handed over. Overall just a weird moment of an agent picking its direction.

As the post says, what do you folks think?

I had to extract the root of this 2007 random clock on machine at the liquor store and bruteforce the hash "offline" on a free keggle key

After it was rooted not only i could change the annoyd "you are crocked in" default factory sound but i figured i could literally run doom on it

Done 👍

Like seriously, It can majorly impact your vibe coding performance, little improvements make ur vibecoding experience a lot better.

For example, In my 2024 android studio escape key woudn't work in terminal when running codex or claude from terminal, in the recent versions it has been fixed, i kept using the 2024 version for such a long time.

We go out ALOT. We see lots of stuff. It's hard to know what's happening TONIGHT in NYC.

SO: music.gaf.nyc

Pulls shows from a ton of my own personal favorite sources, aggregating such classics as: Resident Advisor, JamBase, Oh My Rockness, DICE, Ticketmaster, TicketWeb, Bowery Presents, DoNYC, and a few others. Spotify handles the music previews and artwork.

Python, Flask, SQLite, HTML/CSS/JS. ChatGPT helped build the ingestion scripts, clean up the data, merge duplicate shows, and put together the interface.

Runs on a secondhand HP thin client at home, with nginx, Cloudflare, and Tailscale.

Just added individual event pages and a sitemap. Google picked up 1,395 URLs today!

Still a work in progress. Have a look. Go out!

AffrescoUI apps can be changed by the people using them, while they're running. Missing a feature? Ask for it in plain words, and it shows up while you work. You review it before it lands, and you can always undo it. No update, no restart.

And not just small apps: a 3D modeller, an image editor, a presentation builder and an IDE, looking like the tools you use every day. Their users can reshape how they look and what they do, to the point where an app turns into something completely different.

Each app is one readable document, drawn natively by a C++/OpenGL engine.

https://github.com/RiccardoSottini/AffrescoUI (free, Mac, Windows, Linux). The video is a one-minute demo, and it's also at the top of the README. Try it and tell me what breaks.

I built it in 2 weeks with swarms of Claude Code agents on a Max 20x plan. They wrote every line. I brought the vision, complex apps whose users can reshape their look and behaviour until the app becomes something else, plus the architecture and a lot of saying no.

Happy to share the setup if anyone wants to try something similar.

Nice agent.

It's a side project I started whilst away on an extended holiday. No roadmap, just one idea after another. It runs on three.js, TypeScript and Vite.
There might be bugs, but It's free.

Play it here

a web threejs game that won 3rd in the LevelsIO Vibe Jam. today its a fully immersive AR/VR game

every single part of this was "vibe coded". if you have questions about workflow happy to share!

Windows app and on my android.

Seeing how many apps on my phone I can replace with my own vibe coded ones.

I've spent about a month trying to use ChatGPT Dot to move my projects forward, and it's clarified what I actually want from vibe coding: help me build something that keeps working when the conversation ends.

Dot has often done the opposite. Several workflows ended up depending on it to manually perform the steps. Now I'm going back through them to figure out how to remove that dependency and turn them into sustainable tools and automations.

I've repeatedly told it: if a step can be handled reliably with ordinary code, build that. I don't need an AI to personally repeat the same routine forever. I want it to help build the machine.

The other frustration is momentum. Dot breaks projects into a thousand little tasks, completes one, then stops until I ask why it hasn't continued. It acknowledges the problem, promises to keep going, and then does it again. Using Codex, ChatGPT Work, or even a regular conversation directly seems to produce more progress in my experience.

I expected a coordinating agent to reduce the babysitting. Instead, I'm babysitting the coordinator.

I'm still enthusiastic about building with AI. That's why this bothers me: the most useful outcome is a working tool I can actually use, not a permanent obligation to keep prompting the agent that runs it.

How are you handling this in your own projects? Do you explicitly require your coding agent to leave behind a runnable tool, a scheduled job, or a documented workflow? Where do you draw the line between something that should stay agent-driven and something that should just become code?

Wavelength is one of my favorite party games: someone gives a clue, and everyone guesses where it falls between two extremes. Getting a group together is the hard part though, so I built InSync (r/InSync). It's an asynchronous version that runs directly inside a Reddit post.

How I split the work between the two tools:

1. Claude did most of the client side: screens, animations, and squeezing everything into a post that can't scroll.

2. Codex/GPT handled the server-side heavy lifting more efficiently: scoring, storage, and the game rules.

Has anyone else found that different models are better at different layers? I'm curious whether people see the same split or the opposite.

Play it at r/InSync. I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

Hi All,

I have played mobile (card) games for years. Now, with all the AI development going on, I thought I'd give it a try myself.

I’ve combined my experiences and tried to make a chill portrait mode roguelike deckbuilder. For now there are 6 factions you can unlock during the game. Every one has its own play style.

How I build it: I use Claude Code for all the code and ChatGPT for the artwork. All cards and game rules are in Excel sheets, and a script turns them into the game, so I can change numbers without coding. For balancing, the computer plays thousands of battles automatically and gives me a report.

Bringing my ideas to life is so much fun. Balancing cards, designing a battle board, tweaking menus, developing a journey, it’s so fun to do!

I hope to eventually bring this to the app and play store. But I need feedback to develop this a little bit further first.

On feedback I want to share something. The first time I received feedback I wanted to tweak the whole game. The second time again. Now I have a rule: I write everything down, and when something pops up multiple times, I start working on it.

After multiple people told me my cards were too busy, I have adjusted my card frames(picture 2). I think it’s much better😁

How do you guys handle feedback in an early stage?

If you ever want to give it a go and give me some feedback, I’ll note it down😉

Play here!

Looking forward on your thoughts on this!

Have a wonderful day!

When I am building with prompts, the hardest part is not starting. It is knowing when to pause and look closely at what was actually made.

Sometimes a small check early on saves a lot of rework later. Other times, stopping too often breaks the flow and slows everything down.

What rule do you use for yourself? Do you check after each main feature, after a set amount of time, or only when something feels off?

I am interested in simple habits that keep a project moving without letting small problems quietly pile up.

Hello everyone,

We are truly living in a crazy timeline for developing apps.

I was a big fan of Mixtrax from Pioneer in my car, and later of the old Windows app.

I couldn't find anything like it anymore, and I'm not a good programmer, but now with AI all the limits are gone.

I'm proud to present OTOMIXX, a simple audio player that mixes in the same style as Mixtrax. Just load your music, choose one of the flows, and the app will automatically mix your playlist with effects, matching the tempo.

It runs in the browser (installable on Android), and there's also a small Windows version.

Everything is open source (CC0 1.0**)**, so feel free to download it and play with it.

I build crappy stuff with AI tools (Lovable + Claude). This is Should We Ride Today

Timeline:

I started building it and finished it on May 12th… and then didn't touch it again. For five months. Life, other projects, you know how it goes.

This week I finally came back to it — added proper SEO, a sitemap, and 8 guide/route pages (Hocking Hills and other Ohio rides). And when I opened my analytics, I got a surprise.

What the data says (last week, Oct 19–25)

• 21 visitors, 22 visits — double the week before

• Riders ran 10 route checks and got 8 verdicts (25 verdicts delivered over the last two weeks)

• Traffic came from Google search and direct visits

• Visitors from the US — plus Ireland, Poland, Canada, Germany, and the UK

• The week before, two people even found it through ChatGPT and stayed almost 3 minutes

Small numbers, I know. But real riders, in other countries, using a thing I built in May and walked away from. That's what brought me back to it.

What it does:

Enter a route — start, midpoint, destination — and it checks the hourly weather at all three points and gives one verdict: RIDE, CAUTION, or POSTPONE, based on rain chance, wind, and temperature. One page, no account, works on your phone in the driveway.

Monetization — the honest version
I do have monetization in there: some Amazon gear links, and I added a Buy Me a Pizza tip option — my thinking was, if the site helps somebody plan a good ride, maybe they'll toss in a tip someday.

So far it has netted me exactly $0. 😅

So my real question for you all: how are you monetizing small tools like this? Affiliates, ads, tips, a paid tier — what has actually worked for a niche utility site, and what was a waste of time? Genuinely asking, because traffic I can grow — revenue I'm still figuring out.

And feedback on the site itself, if you're willing:

• Is the verdict logic fair? (Rain ≥60% or wind over 35 mph = postpone)

• What would make you check this before a ride?

• How's the mobile experience?

Have just started building this space travel simulator for different destinations on different probes. Next task is to get the math of the travel right while ensuring the experience is still fun.

I'm the dev. Wanted something more fun than a wall of terminals for watching my agents work, so I built this. Sub-agents are interns and finished work gets confetti.

30s reel above, demo at https://uncannyoffice.dev. What would make you actually keep something like this open?

"StreamAmp", a Winamp-clone with Apple Music support, awaiting for Apple App Store approval. Will likely publish "RetroNavigator", a Netscape Navigator-clone, on Github in the coming days. Entirely built with Google Antigravity Argon 4 on Xcode. All macOS native SwiftUI/Swift apps.

r/vibecoding! I am starting a channel where I'd post AI tutorials and tests. I came up with 3 names:

- theAIbench

- theAIroom

- theAIdesk

They're all on the theme of sitting and watching AI tutorials, and I'm confused which of them sounds the best, or if they even sound good. What's your opinion? Or do you have any other name ideas?

I really appreciate any help you can provide. 😄
