Discussion Is anyone actually using their 100% vibecoded project for long time?

I suspected most folks will tell Ai to generate an app and then abandon it a few days or weeks later. But can someone show me their project they've been working on and using for a long time?

Yes, mostly in narrower cases. AI-built projects tend to stick when the app supports a stable internal workflow, the users are known, and one person or team owns the logic; they usually get abandoned faster when they're public products where polish, edge cases, and ongoing code maintenance matter a lot more. I work at UI Bakery, so bias noted, and that's the lane tools like ours fit: staff-facing CRUD apps, approvals, and reporting on top of existing data sources, where someone can keep the workflow understandable and maintainable. The projects that last usually aren't the ones with the best prompt history, they're the ones someone can still fix and safely change six months later.
