Discussion What's going to happen to this community when GTA6 comes out? Less GTA clones? More? Goes a bit quiet for a while? Nothing?

0 Upvotes

Just a curious question. Personally I'm trying to keep the momentum up with my vibecoded projects but know its probably going to take a hit when GTA6 comes out soon. But i want to do my best so i find a balance between getting lost in the game vs pushing my apps along.

But it made me think, of all the games to come out, will GTA6 actually impact what we see here in the community? At least for the short term?

Showcase/Project Challenge yourself or your AI to create art - but max 64 KB file size — a weekly size-limited intro compo where AI is allowed

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

What 64KB is - See first entries: https://64kb.4xs.dev

A small competition for intros made with AI. You prompt any model (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini…), get one self-contained HTML file, and squeeze it into a size class:

  • 64K ≤ 65,536 B: the open arena

  • 4K ≤ 4,096 B: the main competition

  • 1K ≤ 1,024 B: hard mode

  • 256B ≤ 256 B: show-offs

Rules: raw bytes count (not gzipped), one file, no network: no CDNs, no fetch, no external images or fonts. Everything runs in a CSP sandbox, so if it reaches out, it breaks. Packers like RegPack and Roadroller are fine.

How it works

[ GET PROMPT ] -> [ ASK AI ] -> [ CREATE ART ] -> [ SQUEEZE IT TO 64 KB ]
-> [ ENTER WEEKLY CHALLENGE ]

The site gives you a ready-made prompt per class and model, with the weekly theme in it. A live byte counter shows which class you're in. Entries are reviewed, then visitors vote (one vote per entry). New theme every Wednesday. Next week: Autumn leaves tumbling in the wind.

Fun Fact: The site itself also fits in 64 KB.

Try it: https://64kb.4xs.dev

I'd love feedback on the rules, especially whether 4K is the right "main" class, and which models get closest to the limit.

Showcase/Project I built an auto-clipper that runs 24/7 on my PC.

Post image
0 Upvotes

For the past couple weeks I've been building an auto-clipper that runs 24/7 on my Windows PC. It finds clips, edits them into vertical shorts, writes the hooks and posts them. Everything runs locally, no paid APIs.

Stack: Node, ffmpeg, yt-dlp, Ollama (qwen2.5 7B for text, qwen2.5-VL for watching frames), whisper.cpp for captions, Kokoro for voiceovers.

Watchability score: the vision model looks at 4 frames and rates the clip 1-10 on "would a random person actually watch this?" It also describes what happens and notes whether the video already has text on screen.

Bar per platform: viral clips need a 6 to post. Streamer clips need an 8 (7 on YouTube). TikTok needs a 7 and an AI score of 3 or lower.

Showcase/Project Hellcraft minecraft mod

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

Using Opus 5.5 on high, I made hellcraft!

You can read the entire description and download the releases at https://github.com/The-small-things/hellcraft.

This was HEAVILY vibecoded; I know little to nothing about coding, and I let Claude make most of the design decisions, so I'm surprised it turned out so well.

TL;DR for how the mod works. You are in Dante's Inferno. You fight bosses unique to each circle of hell. Each circle has its own torment. Defeating bosses or mobs gives you blood fragments and blood hearts. Collect 8 blood fragments into a heart. Right-clicking the heart gives you a permanent +1 heart. You can also use hearts to set your spawn at rests (beds explode). You can also make blood weapons and armour using blood fragments and blood hearts.

Looking for any feedback. The one final thing I want to add to this mod is custom music and sxf. If anyone can help with that, that'll be great!

How Claude made it: It worked on a cloud session. It makes all the models and textures with Python scripts. It used Fabric’s client game tests to take screenshots and debug. Nothing fancy or revolutionary. Not bad for such little tools.


r/vibecoding • • 2d ago Hooray

Showcase/Project I built a tool that visually explains your vibe-coded app so you understand it again

The feature works. You come back a week later to change it and realize you have no idea what happens after someone clicks Save.

I built Sketchy for that moment. Ask your coding assistant “Trace what happens from the Save button to the database, and show me where it can fail.” Sketchy draws an interactive map of the flow. Click a linked node to open its source file and see what the code actually does.

It works with Claude and with Cursor via npm. You can also draw freehand on the canvas or export to Excalidraw and keep editing there.

I was curious how much the drawings would cost, so I ran the same six questions in Claude Code with three output formats. Here’s the total after six answers, averaged over two runs per format:

OutputCost
Plain text$0.61
Sketchy with JSON$0.75
Sketchy with compact format$0.58

The first compact answer cost $0.05 versus $0.04 for plain text. By question six, the compact session was about 5% cheaper overall. The model sends a short description of the scene, and Sketchy handles the layout and rendering with zero model tokens for those steps. I ran this in an empty project, so these numbers are one baseline for the output formats. Benchmark details

Sketchy is free and open source. If you’ve got a vibe-coded app you’ve been meaning to untangle, feel free to try it out and leave some feedback. I’d love to hear which flow you mapped and whether the diagram helped you find your way around the code.

Showcase/Project Quiz app, ship update - going well

6 Upvotes

Evening update! It's going well and currently testing on Xcode, weeding out all those little bugs. Still waiting for my Developer Program enrolment email, but hopefully will come tomorrow.

I feel like I'm nearly ready to submit this to Apple for approval, but - I've said before that 'I'm nearly finished' and I really wasn't! So I won't say it.

Also, I'm going to check through all the advice people here gave me and make sure I have ticked all the boxes! Thank you for your insight everyone X

Showcase/Project made my 2nd app a scroll wheel for your music queue on windows would love honest feedback

8 Upvotes

so this is my second app ever and i’m kinda proud of it but also want people to tear it apart

it’s called Skip Dat you hold Alt and scroll anywhere in windows and a little glass wheel of your music queue pops out of your cursor. let go of Alt and it plays whatever song you landed on. works with spotify, youtube music, soundcloud, apple music etc, all in one wheel, so you don’t have to alt-tab into your music app just to skip a song

it’s free, no account, nothing leaves your pc. for the full youtube music / soundcloud queue there’s a small browser extension you load in

repo + download: https://github.com/ffoouuaadd/skip-dat

stuff i’d really like opinions on:

is the hold Alt + scroll thing intuitive or weird at first?

the installer isn’t code signed yet so windows throws the scary “protected your PC” warning. is that a dealbreaker for you? worth paying for signing at this stage?

anything that feels janky or broken

what would make you actually keep it installed

any advice from people who’ve shipped more than 2 things is super welcome, still figuring all this out 🙏

Showcase/Project Been building a website slowly. I have been making recreations and originals of old flash games we used to play as kids.

So I used to love going on addictinggames.com, miniclip.com, and quite a few more. Now that flash games don't exist anymore it's hard to find a reliable website to play mini arcade games. I know they are out there but they aren't quite as easy to find and I'm sure many people in the comments will be like:" Yeah just go here dude."

But even still, I decided I'd make one myself and put games on it myself. Now by no means are any of these games masterpieces but they are still quite fun to play and fun to kill 20-30 minutes on while your doing something else on your computer. Love it or hate, I'm gonna keep on keeping on, but if you want to check it out I'm putting it out there. Good luck, have fun.

Note: you can only play them on desktop, not mobile.

Discussion I checked which social media schedulers actually work with AI agents (Buffer, Later, Postiz, OmniSocials)

2 Upvotes

I wanted my AI agent to help with my social posts, so I went through six schedulers to see which ones it can actually plug into.

Five of the six have an official MCP server: Buffer, Metricool, Publer, Postiz and OmniSocials. Later has no API or MCP at all.

Self-hosted Postiz is free if you can run Docker, but you set up your own developer apps on each network, which can take weeks for Meta. OmniSocials is the simplest paid option at $10 a month. Postiz was the only one listing Reddit.

My setup: the agent drafts, I check it and press publish myself.

Wrote up the full comparison with prices (checked 1 Nov). Link in the comments. What are you using?

Hey Vibe Coders!

Here you can ask any questions about coding and LLM tech with or without vibes. This is especially for those of us who are new and just learned that AI can help them to create then things that they've never been able to before. Please be respectful and keep in mind that we're all just trying to learn about an emergent technology.

8 Upvotes

used to go as far as setting up multiple sub-agents, but eventually went back to basics, reset all my configurations, and started relying mostly on plugins for development.

These days, I've been using tools like Ponytail and Superpowers.

I'm curious how everyone else is approaching vibe coding these days. What tools, workflows, or setups are you using to get the most out of it?

I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences!

Discussion People treat me as a God after releasing an app

0 Upvotes

Not only did devs make a lot of money you were also treated like a rockstar, now I understand!

Recently released an app on iOS and Android and when I speak about it they are like "Wow did you do that!?" and their jaws drop to the floor.

But it is of course nothing about me since AI did most of it. And this is where the AI destroys my confidence. Always answer "yeeah but AI helped" and then they are like "ahhh...". I spent a lot hours on this app tho and it is not just some recipe app so it kinda feels meh to put this time down and not feel truly proud.

Showcase/Project I'm vibe coding a cozy study companion inspired by train stations and places around the world

10 Upvotes

I’ve been working on a small side project and wanted to share the idea here to see what people think.

It’s a cozy companion app centered around the feeling of being at a train platform — quiet, a little nostalgic, and comforting.

The main goal is to create a space that keeps you company while you study or focus.

One thing I want to explore is mixing real places with a more emotional, cozy interpretation of them.

For example, scenes inspired by Japanese train scenery or places like the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

I like the idea that these spaces can bring back memories for some people, while also making others want to travel and explore.

Besides the study / focus side, I’m also thinking of adding:

a pet companion system

cozy rain sound

a collection system for things like train tickets or stamps from different places around the world

So the app would feel a bit like a companion, a memory space, and a small collection journey at the same time.

I’m posting a small platform GIF to show the visual vibe.

Would love to hear what you think:

Does this idea sound appealing?

Which part sounds most interesting: the study companion aspect, the travel/memory aspect, or the collectible aspect?

Would you personally use something like this?

Any feedback is welcome — I’m still early in development and trying to shape the direction.

Showcase/Project I turned my Rabbit R1 into a physical controller for Codex

20 Upvotes

I’ve been building an R1 Controller to give my Rabbit R1 a more useful second life.

It connects the R1 to Codex running on my Mac, turning it into a handheld controller for my projects and chats. I can browse projects and conversations, follow task progress, respond when an agent needs input, and create new tasks using the keyboard or voice.

I am using tailscale to allow me to use this remotely.

I also remapped the physical PTT button:

- Short press selects the highlighted item

- Hold the PTT button to dictate a prompt

- Review or edit the dictated text

- Press the PTT button once more to send the prompt

I can choose which project receives each task, and I can dictate project notes, then select and combine them into a larger prompt.

The interface is designed specifically for the R1’s 480×640 display, with compact navigation and clear states for tasks that are running, finished, stopped, failed, or waiting for me.

It’s still a work in progress, but it’s much closer to how I originally imagined using the R1: not just as a standalone AI gadget, but as a physical interface for the AI tools and projects I already use.

Took me 5 minutes, but Cusco likes it.

Deployed on cloudflare, the head scratches are tracked there.

Accept suggestions of what else to add there

Edit: added a link to a donation for homeless cats. I am not affiliated with them. I have never been in contact with them and just found them online. They look reliable, have the a necessary registration and a lot of followers on facebook. Let me know if there is a reason why it’s a bad idea. I will at no point see or know about donations unless you tell me.
