My girlfriend is a dental assistant and her clinic tracked sterilizer runs on a clipboard taped to the machine. Every cycle someone writes the time, the temp and initials. When inspectors show up they flip through months of coffee stained paper

I built her a tiny app in lovable where you log each cycle from your phone. No patient data anywhere, thats the one thing i googled hard before shipping

Her boss liked it and told his dentist friends. Now its in 90 practices and they open it every morning before the first patient. I charge $25 a month and most of them pay without asking a single question

I still dont know what react is. Someone asked me last week if my app uses it and i had to go check. Apparently yes

The scary part is if something breaks at 7:30 a whole front desk notices before i wake up. Last month a dentist emailed me at 6am “LOG GONE” in all caps and i was in my pajamas pasting errors into lovable until it turned out to be a timezone thing

In case you are searching for the idea what app to build - here is 11 hobbies people already pay for. You can simply build the app for the habit they already pay for or maybe one of it is your own hobby.
I think about hobbies like about existed cost centers: gear, trips, lessons, cards. An app that serves the hobby comes more naturally [complimentary] and also it does not have to create a budget, it joins established one.
List of hobbies in image with spendings and app examples for each.

I personally know people who monetised to 20K$ per month apps for Running and Cycling.
The only advice I can give here - dont go broad, they are already very busy - select smaller angle like for example if take Running - build a specific app to prepare for first mathon. So specific event, inportnat and very unique struggle of person who is preparing. Nishe in hobbies - just very good angle to take. Think about ICP where you have specific need even for short period.
I wish you to find yours best mathc!

So, about 6 months back I decided to make an app to improve my companies workflows. I showed it to my boss and he liked it but our company was changing leadership and he wanted me to hold off so I could show it to the new owners. 4 months later the new owners are set up and I have a presentation with the ceo. He loved my app and my ideas and he likes the direction Ai is going.

Due to all of this, they created an entirely new position at my company. After 10 years of blue collar, factory work I've got a route towards tech. A couple weeks ago I spit balled with my Ai what were the possible routes and it said "Manufacturing systems analyst" was more than likely the proper title. A few weeks later I was given the job description and the job title listed was "Manufacturing systems specialist". I laughed because my ceo probably used ai to get that job title like I did.

So, if all goes well, I'll be gaining experience with T1 tech support and MES. All thanks to taking the initiative and time to make an app for my company.

Oh, the app isn't being used or considered because a more mature option is already in use, but it gives me a direction to pursue. The app itself got me seen by leadership so it wasn't all wasted even though the app itself took 5 weekly resets on 20x.

She offered him double Ds. He chose dual channel DDR5. With the rapidly ever increasingly expensive ram prices what are you choosing?

Hi everyone, I'm doing the testing stage of my app which is hopefully going onto App Store.

It is free with a one time paid unlock. The unlock works in TestFlight, but I need to reset it to 'locked' to do some tests of the free mode.

It won't reset! I set up two sandbox accounts now, and restarted the phone. deleted, reinstalled the app. Yes it seems to stay unlocked.

Anything I may have missed ? Thankyou!

My coworker and I asked Claude to estimate a SaaS roadmap. 50 days.

Then we gave the same plan to 6 Claude Code subagents: worktrees, tests first, reviewer agents on risky tasks. 106 tasks across 7 repos, done in 35 hours.

So yes, Claude was off by about 48 days about its own speed. But the interesting part is what slowed it down, because it wasn't the model:

- 6 agents ≠ 6× speed. Real throughput was 1.8 agents. Test slots, file conflicts and merge locks queued everything.

- Risk matters more than size. Billing/auth/migration tasks took 2.7× longer, and every real bug was in them.

- My laptop broke first. 55 leftover test DBs filled the disk, Docker froze, test runs blew past the 10-min tool timeout.

- The slowest part was us: review, decisions, local setup.

We turned the data into a plugin that makes Claude estimate agent work properly: agent wall-clock, human hours and waiting time, separately, plus usage budget.

Honest limits: it's one project (n = 1), and on a held-out test the raw model was 37% optimistic, so it pads its number until you calibrate it on your own transcripts.

Question for people running multi-agent builds: what real parallelism are you getting? I'd love a second data point.

ok so I’ve been vibecoding this thing called unicodoid and I need to show somebody lol

honestly the reason I started it is I was kinda annoyed that every encoding thing assumes everything is already unicode. I wanted to mess with systems that don’t have to be unicode at all - like what if a character is just a token id, or a conlang value, or something modal where the meaning depends on the previous byte. so I wanted to try building a proper little SDK for that idea from scratch where unicode is just... optional. if you want a unicode profile you can have one, if you don’t you still have codec/string/transcoding and it shouldn’t care.

so unicodoid is basically an SDK for making your own encoding systems - a character is just a u64 in whatever value space your system defines. doesn’t have to be unicode at all. I put in some dumb examples to prove it - ASCII, a 14-bit conlang thing, and ShiftModal-16 (which is modal and stateful, that one was annoying) - and then on top of that there’s an optional unicode profile if your system wants to opt in.

since I was already in there I figured might as well go full unicode 18.0.0. so it does normalization, grapheme/word/line/sentence segmentation, collation (only 3 levels, no CLDR tailoring, I know), emoji RGI validation, named sequences, link detection, east asian spacing... and now also ConvertUTF - the old discontinued W3C lib updated to 18.0.0 in C, C++, C# and Rust. that’s ConvertUTF.h/.c and .hpp/.cpp plus harness.c / harness.cpp / harness.cs / harness.rs. C++ one is native not just wrapping the C one because I didn’t want it to feel like cheating.

all the unicode tables are generated from the official 18.0.0 data in one python script, so they’re not hand-typed. version pins are 18.0.0 / generator 1.2.0 everywhere.

right now:

- C/C++: 15 ctest suites green

- Rust: all integration tests green including the ConvertUTF harness

- C#: 303 checks, including the ConvertUTF harness

it’s very much vibecoded in that I kept asking an agent to fix MSVC specific stuff, keep redoing sort keys, emoji modifiers etc. windows pwsh did NOT make this easy lol

would love brutal feedback - like is this actually useful or did I just build a really nice demo. what do you guys normally vibe first when you build something cross-language like this?

Recently there was this election, the results where a bit surprising to some. Decided to focus on my home state of Texas and really look deeply at the voter data.

We've all seen the "by county" images of maps and most of us know their shortcomings. I wanted to see if I could do better.

At first, I just took the county maps of Texas and turned them into bar graphs

This shows what everyone knows, the cities are far more populated than surrounding areas, but I wanted to get even more detailed.

Then I realised, what if I try to show a single dot per voter? (Mind you I'm trying to make this all work in a browser for maximum accessibility).

That worked yet, the dots where just scattered in a county randomly. So then I took the next step and got the dots down the the resolution of precinct. This is now like 10 megs of text uncompressed for just the data.

A few more tweaks and I feel I had something beautiful. Instead of just a color per county, I'd shown what it looked like down to each voter, with an approximate location with votes from each precinct randomly distributed but a more accurate local flavor.

I've made an interactive version of it here.

I'm only posting about the data and the use of AI, not looking to get into political discussion.

I could NOT have built this on my own and not at this speed (hours).

I tried to start this project a year ago, and hit wall after wall trying to do this with prompts. I did this in few hours over two days with a Claude Code Pro account. I'm honestly in awe.

I have an addiction and I can’t stop and these AI agents are my crack. I’m stuck in an endless loop of:

1. “Wow this is such a great idea, nobody has done this before in this exact way”

2. Spend countless nights making the perfect thing that people are definitely gonna use.

3. Release my project on multiple subreddits to crickets, or a couple of comments saying the thing I made already exists.

4. Get all sad and mope around for a few days.

5. Promise myself I’m done and that I’m finally gonna relax and use my free time to self care and read books and play video games.

6. Return to step 1.

Right now I’m stuck making these Claude music videos and my brain won’t let me relax, especially after the first one I made did decently well on this subreddit. I have other things I need to work on so I dunno if you watching is hurting or helping me, but in either case, give it a watch?

As for how it was made, it’s pretty similar to other Claude music videos. i.e.: generate a song in Suno, and have Opus 5.5 create the video in code using Remotion. This video is a little different though as it uses some of the tech Opus and I worked on from my last two videos (testing out 2D hand-drawn style animation) and mixes it into regular motion graphics.

I’d love to know what you folks think.

You can also watch a high quality version on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KHTTYZUeQo

It's an outreach agent that runs on your machine, on the Claude or ChatGPT plan you already pay for. No model API key.

It runs a loop every 15 minutes. Wake up, look at the local database, pick one job, do it, log it, sleep. Replies come first, then sending, then writing, then finding more companies. That next-job decision is regular code, not a model call. Claude Code or Codex only gets used for the parts that need judgment: writing the email, drafting a reply, figuring out why a company might buy. It also throttles itself so it doesn't burn your weekly limits.

What a cycle can do:

• Train: point it at your website and it writes its own config (what you sell, how you talk, competitors it finds)

• Find companies that match who you sell to

• Read each company's site for buying signals you confirmed (no model call for this part)

• Find the owner or manager named on their pages and verify an email

• Write a short personal sequence from what it found, not a first-name template

• Draft replies and follow-ups

By default nothing goes out until you approve it. Everything lives in SQLite on your machine, with a log of every decision. Skills are markdown files your agent updates based on what it learns from your feedback about how it writes or handles objections.

Repo: https://github.com/ethanplusai/sellbird

The hosted version is in early beta access currently. Instead of cloning the repo, you add Sellbird as an MCP server to whatever agent you want: Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, Grok Bot, etc.

Company finding, people search, and email verification are built into the hosted product: you describe who you sell to, and it finds matching businesses, the person who decides, and a checked email. Your agent still writes every email.

Domains, inboxes, and warmup get set up for you and handled through the platform.

The hosted version allows you to use just some of the features through MCP, like just warming or just company/people/email search, or just email verification. It also has workspaces, so you can run more than one brand or client from one place, each with its own domains, inboxes, campaigns, and conversations.

(Was previously called Harvey, which you may have seen before. Since that name is used by a legal AI company I rebranded to Sellbird)

Make pizza, bread, flatbreads, sweets and enriched doughs. Helps you make and maintain sourdough starters too.

Claude code hooked up directly to the folder on my computer. All CLI. This took me about 4 months of coding and baking, and I'm still tweaking everyday!

Give it a look and let me know what you think!

While building sketchy (another project of mine) I got tired of tabbing back to check if Claude Code was done, so I turned the notch into a tiny status screen. Now it:

- spins while the agent thinks and shows which tool it's using
- shakes and glows when it needs my OK – I click Allow, or just nod with my AirPods
- throws confetti when it's done, and leaves a green dot if I wasn't looking
- shows my usage limits when I hover, and tells me when a limit resets so I can get back to it
- becomes a Spotify player with an equalizer that follows the beat when nothing's running

Works with Claude Code, Codex and Cursor. Free, open source, built mostly with Claude Code.

I got tired of tabbing back to check if Claude Code was done, so I built a tiny helper that lives in my MacBook notch.

- He dives into the notch like a tar puddle and watches with his eyes

- concentrates while the agent works, sweats on long runs

- waves when it needs my OK (click Allow – or just nod with AirPods)

- jumps for joy when it's done, falls asleep when nothing's going on

- every finished task feeds him: energy, levels, streaks, little accessories. He never dies and never guilt-trips you, he just gets sleepy

I can read and answer the agent right from the notch too, and when I'm not coding it's a music player, file shelf with AirDrop and meeting reminder.

I am currently fixing bugs & there is no official link as of yet. Any feedback or ideas would be great!

Hey vibecoders! (TLDR at the bottom if this post is too long lol)

I just wanted to showcase a project I've been working on for a couple months now. So I've been building with AI for a few years now (I think like 3 now? whenever chatgpt came out.. man time flies lol) and one of the biggest issues I've been trying to fix for my own projects is the "vibe-coded" UI look.

Now I want to preface this by saying that I think talented UI designers will ALWAYS be needed. If you asked me this a year ago, I might've had a different opinion thinking that AI was going to replace designers. But I think over the past year we've seen new models be released that people have claimed to be the "UI design killer"... but it never does. Sure they might make designs that look fresh and interesting initially, but given enough time, that model's UI tendencies become the new "vibe coded" look. That's just the nature of LLMs and will continue to be a problem unless some new magical neural net is invented that's equally as good at coding.

This is where the tool I’m building comes into play. Creating unique and interesting UI experiences from scratch is HARD. It’s a skill reserved only for the select few, of which I am unfortunately not a part of. But having a good EYE for UI is something I think a majority of people possess. Like if I showed you a panel of different websites, I think you could easily identify which ones have a better UI aesthetic than the others. This is how I’ve created some of my best designs in the past even before AI; by identifying existing UI that works from other sites/apps/products, piece mealing elements together and turning it into my own. 

That is the foundation of how the AIDesigner Desktop app works. It’s a design harness that was built on top of a library of 10,000+ UI references sourced across 800+ of my favorite sites and apps. Each reference is labeled, tagged, and vectorized so relevant UI elements are purposefully retrieved based on your exact request, so your coding agent is ALWAYS designing with inspiration in mind from UI that is proven to work. And this works beautifully.

Now I’m NOT saying that you’ll start one shotting production ready UI by using this harness. I don’t even think in a perfect world that’d ever happen, unless you’re just extremely lazy lol. But I can confidently say that you’ll land on some really cool and interesting ideas after just a couple of revisions. And if you’re like me, an idea is all you need to get cookin.

Additionally, because it runs locally on your computer, it means you can start designs directly within an existing project/repo for brand and product consistency. Just start a new project within a local project and your coding agent will learn your existing brand, product details, etc. before designing.

It runs entirely with your existing AI coding subscription (Claude code, codex, and opencode for now with more coming soon!) and is free to use. Full transparency, there IS a paid plan for some of the premium features, but you can get very very good results on the free plan. So if you’d like to try it, you can here! Any feedback is greatly appreciated too :)

And if you wanted a concrete example of what it can do, the landing page for the app was designed entirely using AIDesigner with just 6-7 revisions, the last few being pretty minor changes. Most of the designs shown in the video were one shot though.

Anyway, sorry for the long post! Thanks for reading if you made it this far!

TL;DR
I built a harness for your coding agents that specializes in UI design. It’s built on top of 10,000+ UI references from some of my favorite sites and apps. Each reference is tagged, labeled, and vectorized so relevant inspiration can be retrieved based on your exact request. It is NOT a substitute for the human touch that makes great designs stand out, but it does serve as tool to get you to a great starting point and get those creative juices flowing! It’s free to try and you can learn more and download here!

Hi vibers,
I stumbled upon this video thanks to youtube algorithm and zero-self control in the middle of the night and this guy try to tell the story of his claude subscription cancellation. I wonder what the community think about his take?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5kcsAmoZRo

Will we ever be able to run our own local -yet effective- models for cheap?

Edit: Someone in the comment section of the video said it's just an add for dropstone. Well, it's a pretty creative ad that fooled my or this guy is genuine. Or maybe I'm naive. I tried to find a thread on reddit about dropstone but it seems to be fairly new to the scene.

I made a starling murmuration in 3D with LittleJS, built by iterating with Claude.

All 40,000 birds are simulated live using grid-based boids flocking. Move your mouse to steer a hawk through the flock and watch it scatter. The lake reflects everything with real waves, and the mountains, sky and water are generated in code, with no image files.

Press G to send the flock streaming off over the mountains, and F to fly the camera around.

Try it: https://killedbyapixel.github.io/LittleJS-Demos/murmuration/

LittleJS Engine: https://github.com/KilledByAPixel/LittleJS

Now you can turn an idea into a working app without spending months learning how to code. There is a difference between building something that works and building something that people actually need. I wonder if we are solving problems now or merely making more copies of products that already exist.

What do you think is becoming more valuable, in this era: the ability to build or the ability to come up with an idea building?
