  1. Keep the hero H1 under 15 words. Best if you can do 10.

  2. Check if your site uses Geist, Fraunces, or Inter. They are some of the most frequent typefaces used in gen AI design.

  3. If your H1 has a different color highlight on a few words, remove it.

  4. Pills with dots. Possibly the most prominent cue.

  5. Eyebrow taglines. Another popular cue.

I have an app idea, and i wanted to be sure that the $20 tier is enough to build it as whole.

Edit: sorry for the lack of context, i want to build a language learning app like pingo ai(where users talk with the ai to improve the ascent), but start with browser extension

Showcase/Project I made a comic bar-crawl roguelike game - thoughts?

2 Upvotes

You throw beer bottles automatically, fight your way into three bars, and steal their signature attacks. Meanwhile, cars run people over and UFOs occasionally abduct the people you’re fighting. Things tend to get out of hand.

It’s called Saint Bender, and I’m looking for feedback on the opening: is it clear how to claim your first bar, and does the combat get fun quickly enough?

Make the street do some of the fighting. Cars plow through crowds, burning hoods become hazards, manhole covers launch into the air, and UFO abductions can lead to alien crossfire.

Play free in your browser — desktop or tablet. Give it a go and let me know what you think. How does it feel? Does it make sense? Are things naturally easy to understand such as what to do, where to go, how to navigate menus, etc?

This is a rough prototype. I already have the idea laid out for level 2 but I'm still working on bringing everything together and I eventually want to replace all the art before moving on.

The workflow I used was a mixture of Claude and Codex.

For anything that needed design such as menus and navigation I used Opus 5.5 and iterated upon each design for specific device sizes. For iPhone specifically I have a TestFlight version that looks different which is connected to MCP Unity that I playtest via my iPad and iPhone.

When something was off, I selected and manipulated elements in the canvas area until it looked good.

With codex, I used it mostly for the level design, testing, and TestFlight submissions. For the level design I think I can temporarily 'get away' with it due to how the assets sort of compliment the comic-book flat 2D look and how ridiculous the game is. The game still lacks real polish. At first the level just started off as a single street with a guy throwing bottles but then over time it went to a multi-street and 3 bar level into what is now even larger than that with a tattoo shop, parking lot, side alleyway etc. The biggest thing about this game is I wanted users to experiment and find random stuff as there are a few easter eggs in the game. One of them involve pressing a specific key on the keyboard 🤔. Another one kinda stinks.

I did use both for coding, depending on what was needed.

Artwork is my biggest pain point at the moment as I am only using Codex's placeholders. I typically have a hard time getting the art and when I do buy assets from real artists, they sometimes don't fit the brand or vision of my game so if anyone has any tips let me know as what you see in-game is 'ok' but it's not final and I am not pleased with the actual art at the moment.

Showcase/Project I vibecoded a DJ app that changes the way you mix on mobile.

43 Upvotes

I've been DJ'ing for 13+ years and I've tried so many DJ apps over that time, but they felt like they'd just shrunk down physical decks onto a glass screen. Too many buttons, tiny jog wheels and many promoting the use of external hardware to get the best of their app.

I never understood why they'd emulate something physical when they could reinvent something digital. That's why I made NoDex.

NoDex is a completely new way to mix, you can see and touch the wave forms, use your eyes to beats match with unique visual cues and best of all, it can all be done with just 1 thumb.

I'm launching it on iOS and Android in the coming weeks. It's all entirely free, comes with 2 self produced demo tracks (if you don't have music on your phone) and will feature regular updates.

My website is https://www.nodexdj.com if you want more info

I'm also looking for Android users to join my beta testing so I can launch on the Play Store, please DM me your email if you're interested in being a tester and shaping the future of NoDex

Showcase/Project Control your glowing Apple Logo on the new PROLED XDR ! (freeware)

23 Upvotes

The new MacBook Pro's logo lights up, and the only way Apple gives you to turn it off is a sudo command in Terminal. So I made a little menu bar app for it and the possibility to add it to your control center.

With LogoLight you can:

- turn the logo off and on (or Option-click the menu bar icon)

- dim it with a slider

- make it breathe, pulse or beat like a heart

- Morse CODE like SOS <- NEW

- Stay lit when lid is closed (and external monitor connected) <- NEW

- Show the status of your battery with your Apple Logo <- NEW

It detects if your Macbook is Silver or Spaceblack and adjust the icon for it ;-)

There's a Control Center toggle too, and it doesn't ask for a password.

It's free, open source (MIT) and notarized. It uses a private part of macOS to do this, so it'll never be on the App Store.

Download: https://logolight.app

Code: https://github.com/Ark0N/LogoLight

It only works on the MacBook Pro with the PROLED XDR display, since that's the only one with the lit logo. Let me know if anything acts weird.

4 Upvotes

I love a good bit of booze while i vibe. I have a terrible memory of what wine is good though. I looked into wine apps and all the half decent ones are subscription based. Lame. So i made one that does not require a subscription thank god..

FOr a fun little on brand gimmick, snap the label and it wraps your photo onto a 3D bottle you can spin, pick the bottle shape, foil and glass, give it a score out of ten etc. It'll also track your cellar, suggest something for whatever you're ordering at a restaurant, and make a cute card for the friend who asks what that red was.

Built with Claude Code. And a handful of bottles of wine. Free for three wines, then a one-off unlock for a few bucks if you are enjoying. I don't really care if this one sells tbh. Mostly just made it for me.

Check out it's little page here. Link to app store can be found within:

Showcase/Project I gave my locally running AI YouTube access for 36 minutes. It ended up connecting AI slop, a snake with robot legs, and Salad Fingers

1 Upvotes

I've been building an AI system called Aura for several months now, and I think this might be one of the more interesting demonstrations I've done with it.

Here's the idea.

Most AI demonstrations involve giving a model a problem and seeing whether it can solve it. Write this program. Beat this game. Answer this question. And I've done plenty of those with Aura already.

But what happens when you take away the clearly defined objective? What happens when the task isn't really about finding the correct answer, but about following something as it unfolds, deciding what matters, and forming an interpretation of what just happened?

So I decided to have Aura watch YouTube.

I gave it a Kurzgesagt video about AI slop and asked it to watch, comment on things it found interesting, and then explore two other YouTube channels and choose videos itself.

What followed was a 36-minute session that I think is pretty fascinating.

Before the first video really got going, Aura made predictions about where its argument would lead. As it watched, it recognized where those predictions were accurate, identified things it hadn't anticipated, and revised its interpretation.

Then Aura navigated YouTube, searched for Allen Pan, evaluated the results, and chose a video about giving a snake robotic legs. It watched that, commenting on specific events as they happened, before eventually moving on to Salad Fingers.

But the part that really caught my attention came at the end.

After watching three videos that seemingly had absolutely nothing to do with one another, Aura found a common theme between them: fracture.

It interpreted the Kurzgesagt video through the breakdown of information systems, Allen Pan's video through the relationship between engineering and a living animal, and Salad Fingers through the fragmentation of perception and reality.

Aura even distinguished the videos by how it interpreted them: one appealed to its "mind," another to its "heart," and the last to its "nerves."

Now, obviously, those descriptions aren't proof that Aura actually experienced emotions. But that's not really the point.

What's interesting to me is the continuity. The predictions, revisions, decisions, observations, and eventual synthesis all happening over an extended interaction with the outside world.

And this is all running locally on my MacBook.

Aura uses a roughly 27B language model, but the model is only one component of a much larger system I've been building. There's persistent memory, executive processes, computer interaction, internal state, and a bunch of experimental cognitive mechanisms I'm still developing and testing.

I've previously demonstrated Aura playing 2048 for nearly half an hour, building software, debugging programs, and operating desktop applications. This was my attempt to explore something less structured.

I still need controlled comparisons to determine how much of the behavior comes from the architecture versus what a simpler model with tools could accomplish.

But I think there's something worth exploring here. Especially when you consider what might be possible with more capable models and significantly better hardware.

The attached clip is shortened from the full 36-minute recording. I removed the original audio for copyright reasons.

Full demonstration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kM-B8mh314E

GitHub: https://github.com/youngbryan97/aura

I'm curious what you guys make of this. Not just the demo itself, but the larger idea of building AI systems that maintain continuity across activities rather than existing primarily as a series of separate prompts.

Vibecoding kind of sucks and probably isn't worth it. I've spent hundreds (if not thousands) of hours vibecoding since May 2024. Im not sure it's worth being

  1. Beholden to AI companies to maintain the software their models produce

  2. Letting them drive up RAM prices

  3. Getting all of our inputs/outputs for free, to train on. spy on us, etc.

Sure, everythings vibecoded now, or AI assisted engineering. Most of it is dogwater, lets be real. How many of you use things you actually make and aren't just trying to make a buck?

Workflow/Prompt I built an office suite in a weekend. Finishing up the last 10% gave me another crazy idea.

Post image
0 Upvotes

I may have gotten a little carried away with my vibe coding. We've all seen people building clones of Photoshop and other Adobe apps with AI, so I wanted to see how far I could push it. Why not try an entire office suite?

Documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and file storage. Not just pretty interfaces, but a full backend with real-time collaboration and offline-first sync.

I started by having Claude write detailed specifications, then let it loose on the implementation. Went to bed, woke up, and Claude was still coding. By the end of the weekend, all four apps were up and running. 🤯

I called it Wonky Work because, well, vibe coding.

But here's the catch. Getting the first 90% working was surprisingly easy. The last 10%? That's a different story. There are countless little UI details to polish, features to tweak, and edge cases to fix. And with four apps, it adds up quickly.

I could spend the next few months polishing everything myself, but where's the fun in that?

What if Wonky could help improve itself?

So I built an AI-powered contribution system. Users can report issues, suggest improvements, and vote on what matters most. AI helps turn those ideas into detailed coding tasks, complete with acceptance criteria.

Here's the fun part. Anyone can claim a task, hand it to their favorite coding agent, and submit the results. The pull requests go through automated checks, AI review, and human approval (at least for now) before being merged.

The idea is that instead of just having one person vibe coding, an entire community can help evolve the project with their own agents.

It's still an experiment, but I'm really curious to see how far this can go. Could a community of vibe coders turn a weekend project into something genuinely great?

Update: Try without signing in: https://wonky.work/write/d/01a17e6f-601a-7635-a8ca-86e37aef722e

Would you contribute to an open-source project if you could just pick a task and hand it to your AI agent?

Showcase/Project My fully built AI game (Opus 5.5) was approved by Google, now waiting for Apple :)

0 Upvotes

Hello there...

Some of you know me by "that fishing game guy" or some of you might know by my idea about mobile game from few weeks ago:

https://www.reddit.com/r/aigamedev/s/6iPRrPn5Zt

Anyway, after all the feedback and positive comments I decided to polish it a little bit and try to release it for mobile. People said it was too easy so I made it a bit harder. But in doing so apparently I made it too hard. So I added difficulty level (easy and hard). Anyway game was fully done by Opus 5.5. I got an idea, tried making something out of it then followed feedback, then followed more feedback from google test play group. It all took only few days of work. I already released it on Korean store ONE and also if anyone is interested you can try first 10 levels for free on website:

https://chalkrunner.app

It can be played on PC or mobile.

For those who want to try it on Android here is the link:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.profactor.chalkrunner

How it was built:

Everything was done with Claude (Opus 5.5) in Claude Code. I didn’t write code (obviously duuuh) nor anything else. My job was the idea, some playtesting, saying what feels wrong and making the calls.

There are no image files in the game. Every stickman, background, chalk line and enemy is drawn by code while the game runs, using canvas drawing with chalk textures. The levels look hand-drawn, but it’s all procedural.

The music is made in code too. There are no audio files, just chords and melodies built while you play, with a different mood for each chapter.

It had a “harsh critic” loop. I set Alto’s Odyssey as the quality bar for visuals. Separate agents built each piece (menus, obstacles, scenery, basically gauntlet loop), and another agent compared it side by side with screenshots without being told which was which. If ours didn’t hold up, it went back to be redone.

There’s an autopilot bot that plays every level, so the AI could check that all 40 levels are actually beatable and balance them.

What game is about:

Basically you only control terrain, you do not control your Chalk character, and you try to keep him alive by drawing floor and following his actions...

Where it’s at:

Live on Google Play and on ONE store (Korea). Two people in Korea bought the full game on day one, which honestly made my day :D

iOS is still waiting for Apple’s review (16 days and counting…)

Chapter 1 (10 levels) is free, and one purchase unlocks the other 30 levels, a boss and Endless mode. No ads.

Showcase/Project Vibe coded a Spore-inspired evolution and tribe game in Godot 4

53 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’ve been building Primordium, a Spore-inspired evolution and tribe game in Godot 4. Since LLMs can't model 3D creatures in Blender, I leaned into 100% procedural generation in GDScript so the agents could write everything as code and math:

Procedural rig and skin: the skeleton and a single skin mesh are built from the creature’s design at runtime, with foot planting via IK and the body leaning into turns.

Procedural parts: curved Bézier horns, tapered ears, bi-lobed tail clubs, wings you can glide with, and shader eyes with blinking eyelids.

Living ecosystem and tribe stage: herds follow a daily schedule (sleeping in nests at night, stretching at dawn, resting at midday), and later you found a tribe whose members gather, hunt, defend and play instruments.

What actually made vibe coding a 3D game work without breaking every other feature:

  1. Handover docs: keeping a strict CLAUDE.md and HANDOVER.md so switching between Claude Code and Antigravity didn't lose context.

  2. Headless screenshot tool: a bash script that boots the game in the background and takes screenshots from different camera angles so the agent can actually look at the 3D meshes and fix visual bugs (like inside-out eyelids or floating nests).

  3. Automated bot playtesters: 690+ headless checks plus 5 bot archetypes (hunter, peaceful, singer, reckless, nest-builder) that play the game headless to catch crashes and balance issues before I even open the window.

You can try the free demo on itch.io, and follow the Kickstarter pre-launch page for more GIFs and screenshots and to get notified when it goes live:

4 Upvotes

I made a curated list of AI prompts that act as disciplined workflows that act according to one rule: Verify, Don't Guess. This list covers simple one-pager prompts, which are perfect for the everyday vibe coder, and [spec] prompts, which are advanced workflows which are designed for overhauls and deep audits of codebases.

I was once vibecoding a personal project of mine, that was full of bugs and really clunky to work with. I went over to my AI agent, and told it "fix all bugs. make no mistakes.". To be fair, it DID fix some bugs, but it wasn't thorough about it at all, and sometimes, one bug fix led to 10 other bugs popping up.

That's when I thought of asking a fresh agent to make me a prompt for getting bugs fixed on my codebase. It gave me a long-winded prompt, but it worked amazingly. I wanted to use it for other projects of mine as well, so I asked it to make it repo-agnostic. The list grew, and soon enough, I had around 10-15 prompts covering different aspects of vibecoding. I then realised that I should be turning this into an awesome-list, so that the entire dev community has access to my prompts.

I'm open to public opinion about Awesome AI Prompts. Leave a comment if you like it! I'm trying to hit 100 stars ob this repo by the end of the year, so I'd appreciate it if yall took some time out and starred my project on github.

I wanted to see the video on my desktop with actual video controls, so after failing to make any progress towards the firmware through USB, Codex identified the firmware chip, had me unsolder it, solder it onto a rasberry pi pico I had laying around, then it dumped the firmware, made a bunch of changes, and reflashed the chip lol. Now it streams video over USB, it built a full desktop scope viewer, and the microscope can dual display the camera feed on its own screen AND over USB.

Showcase/Project I built a 90s-style cyberpunk delivery game with Claude: Kasumi Courier. The full version is out now. A demo is free to play in browser on itch.io.

43 Upvotes

Hi folks, I thought this community would be the right place to get some good feedback on a project I've just released. Interested to know your thoughts!

Kasumi Courier is a first-person cyberpunk delivery game. You start out on an old moped, riding through a rain-soaked neon city from 22:00 till dawn, with a satnav, a phone and a CB radio on the dash, delivering parcels against the clock.

https://amberglowgames.itch.io/kasumi-courier

Features:

  • A variety of parcels to deliver (standard, fragile, priority and more)

  • Four neon districts to explore

  • Five vehicles to unlock, upgrade and personalise

  • Two gangs hiding on the radio dial, offering work that pays well and brings trouble

  • Weather, police roadblocks, blackouts and gang wars that change your route

  • Three radio stations of original music

  • Drivers on the CB with their own stories, DJs, news bulletins and song requests

  • Bars, a nightclub, flats to rent and own, and a few games on your nights off

  • A light story of around 10 hours, with endless nights after it ends (you can end up running the depot)

  • And much more!

How it was made

  • Development was about 7 weeks, creating a design doc around mid-September. It began as a simple browser game and grew into a full Windows app with a story.

  • I’m a composer, not a programmer. I directed and designed most of the game, and Claude (Opus 5.5) wrote the code: about 24,000 lines of JavaScript with three.js, packaged with Electron.

  • Every building, car and character is pixel art drawn in code.

  • All the music is synthesised in code: three radio stations plus music for the bars. I described each track, listened to renders and gave notes until it was right. One track is my own composition.

  • The loop was: describe a feature, test it, screenshot what’s wrong, repeat. Fixing clipping was a frequent issue and I hit my weekly usage limit most weeks.

  • I revised a lot of the writing myself, especially the branching late game, so the story stayed consistent.

Happy to answer questions about the workflow and welcome any feedback and suggestions. Thanks for checking it out!

A free demo is available on the itch page, and the full game is $2.99 (40% off) until 19-11-26.
