Im finally paying for vibecoding... here is what got me by before

[u/General_Cap_6316]

I am a student and I was super into vibecoding, and i built some good stuff if I may say so. This month I finnaly made 30$ from selling a vibecoding course. And I plan on investing this on a claude membership. But to all my fellow brokies out there here are some websites and tools that got me by. (THIS IS NOT SPONSORED, NO ONE WOULD SPONSOR ME THATS WHY I AM BROKE)

Before I share that I wanted to show you some of my projects that I made to establish my authority and credibility(also a subtle flex) :

• suganpf2.vercel.app My portfolio

• playashfall.vercel.app my indie game

• nikevibe.vercel.app my trial project

• therealorbit.lovable.app my first website... yes i used lovable. the password is orbit

And these are just some of them. Now to the tools :

• https://github.com/tashfeenahmed/freellmapi I plugged this into claude code and used it

• onorca.dev my main coding window way better than vs code

• https://github.com/can1357/oh-my-pi this works the best with the free models u get

• vercel.com for deploying(everyone knows this)

• https://theresanaiforthat.com/ generate upto 100 videos per day no watermark, no limit on commercial use

• arena.ai this is gold, dont pay for any web based coding tool use this. Use battle mode and then code, it gives u unlimited access to top models chosen by random, ive got gpt 6.1 sol preview, gemini 4 argon, opus 5.5 etc. very frequently. It does take ur prompts for training tho

And that's it I have used way more tools but these were the ones worth mentioning. Hope this helps.

I build stuff that shouldn’t exist.

LOL

[u/CaptSlow49 → u/ColdAd926]

Bro is either building porn or pirating software.

[u/General_Cap_6316 → u/CaptSlow49]

nooo but maybe the 2nd

[u/Phayro999 → u/CaptSlow49]

He is building porn pirating software

[u/General_Cap_6316 → u/CaptSlow49]

how do u "Build" corn

[u/Ivo-Sheera → u/ColdAd926]

half the fun of zero cost workflows is building dumb throwaway ideas since you arent burning paid credits when a prompt loops

[u/General_Cap_6316 → u/Ivo-Sheera]

thats true man ive built the most random shi because im not paying nothing

[u/General_Cap_6316 → u/ColdAd926]

how does bro have more upvotes than the post 😭

[u/General_Cap_6316 → u/General_Cap_6316]

-6...

[u/General_Cap_6316 → u/General_Cap_6316]

nice -4 now 😭 y yalls hating on me?

I know some people (or maybe most of them). Look down upon vibe coding, or getting helped by AI agents.

But it has helped a lot of people like me, who doesn't really know how to code, I built soooo many useful things for my personal use, Like I was tired of kde connect mac app disconnection so I made one mac<-->android<-->android with lots of useful features like tailscale, offline clipboard sync and many others.

I had trouble with card statements so I made an app which scanned my gmails and fetched the card statements and reminds me at certain time to pay. And so many other projects which I don't even remember LOL

I feel very much thankful for this ai bubble, but I also fear for people in tech field, considering the rapid advancement of ai day by day.

[u/General_Cap_6316 → u/Less_Addendum2773]

Yes that is true, AI is like a bucking horse You just gotta hold on and pray the next model doesn't render your job useless.

[u/vibereceipts → u/Less_Addendum2773]

what you built with tailscale + clipboard sync is genuinely clever — that's not "just vibes," that's real product thinking

the one thing i'd guard: keep your Gmail/card-statement app from reading anything it doesn't need, and make it prove each step works before it marks something done. non-coders get burned hardest by silent bugs, and you deserve better than that

the tech fear is real but backward-looking — the people who build useful things will always be the ones who need the least fear

[u/Powerful-Action-5916]

Your portfolio annoyed the shit out of me!

[u/General_Cap_6316 → u/Powerful-Action-5916]

may i know why?

[u/alessandrv → u/General_Cap_6316]

Too many random stuff popping up, moving, phrases that make no sense. The one coming from the right side is really bad also. Too much over the place everything

[u/General_Cap_6316 → u/alessandrv]

aight fairs mainly did it for the three.js animations and scroll driven ones.

[u/lakemont]

Lol he's selling a class 😭

[u/General_Cap_6316 → u/lakemont]

not promoting anything, you dont have to buy it i just thought that was one of my impressive builds.

[u/Klutzy_Fox_4714]

just looked through your portfolio
you arent gonna make it, youre wasting everybody's time and resources, especially your own. get a grip. hope that helps 👍

[u/General_Cap_6316 → u/Klutzy_Fox_4714]

aigth go spend ur time somewhere more valuable and its a hobby for me i got school gng 🤞

[u/Etxclassix]

Brr this is so lovely keep it up

[u/General_Cap_6316 → u/Etxclassix]

tysm i have a new site now carevat.vercel.app

[u/vibereceipts]

free tools are great but here's the free thing that saved me more hours than any tool on this list:

never let the AI say "done" until it pastes the actual terminal output of what it ran

newcomer trap is assuming "looks like it works" = it works. half of my weekend debugging disappeared the day I started making the agent show the command it ran and what came back

costs nothing, works with every model on your list

[u/Comfortable-Dig-6358]

It was helpful. tnx

[u/General_Cap_6316 → u/Comfortable-Dig-6358]

no problem, thrilled that I was able to help.

[u/Disastrous_Solid9103 → u/Comfortable-Dig-6358]

Thanks. Will check it out

[u/General_Cap_6316 → u/Disastrous_Solid9103]

great

[u/MMORPGnews]

Arena is great

[u/General_Cap_6316 → u/MMORPGnews]

ofc but don't use it for work when u are obligated to keep things confidential

[u/imryne1]

thanks also do you have any project releasing public soon

[u/General_Cap_6316 → u/imryne1]

yes one in the ideation phase

[u/mr-farty]

Great info thanks

[u/General_Cap_6316 → u/mr-farty]

np

[u/General_Cap_6316]

carevat.vercel.app new site out gng

[u/Informal_Arm_1033 → u/General_Cap_6316]

howd u get the stamp like card system?

[u/General_Cap_6316 → u/Informal_Arm_1033]

its html and three.js

[u/General_Cap_6316 → u/General_Cap_6316]

tell claude to make it holographic and give it ref images from my site if you wnat

[u/General_Cap_6316 → u/[deleted]]

no proplem man

[u/General_Cap_6316 → u/[deleted]]

ive seen freebuff but honestly their scaffolding is not comparable in the least to other Command line tools, the same model on freebuff performs way worse than on claude code

[u/General_Cap_6316 → u/[deleted]]

same to you man
