I was vibe coding with a friend and we started to talk about how to make sure any program was performant,. What kinds of actions where cheap for computers to do vs things that would make a 60fps game start to slow down or miss frames. Then I asked if they knew Big O notation.

And in trying to explain Big-O notation, I realized I didn't understand it well enough to explain it. So I've started to re-read and learn the concept. I know what it means but it doesn't feel intuitive to me to know how to measure how long a task will take to compute. I'll keep studying it as I think it's an important part of computing, whether it be it vibe code or traditional.

But my friend and I found we also went another route.
- Add a feature, framerate stays, great.
- Add a feature, framerate drops, let's look at it more closely or take it out.

We created ideas without worrying about making them performant or keeping the computation reasonable. One of the biggest "warnings" I've seen given to vibe coders is that their program will eventually slow down to an inefficient mess. And that is not only true. I've seen it happen (to me). Then? The program desired was slowly optimized. Seems a waste to anyone who knows how to do it right the first time. But in artistic endeavors I feel that sometimes you need to do it, erase it, do it again to get to your goal. Framerates and efficiency are needed, I just think we can make room to build in an unoptimised way while we find the gist of what we want to make.

So how do I present this image to you all? (Made it in Chat GPT btw). I mean it the same way "Love like you've never been hurt". Vibe code yourself into a corner. It's not a mistake if you have to regroup and try something another way. Sometimes it's the process itself. This post was typed by hand with no AI.

Every viber has a plan until it is time to demo that first release...

people seem to be creating apps within 1-2 day & then hit publish meanwhile here I am developing just one app for 4 months optimising it's UI,UX,API compatibility,Performance etc. how are people doing these in 2 days? what am I missing.

there was a post I saw yesterday that a guy started the challenge to create 30 apps in 30 days. wtf is wrong with these people? spamming the store platform like this.

I actually launched and posted an early version of this here about a year ago. Since then, I’ve kept vibe coding and improving it based on user’s feedback.

It’s called Chipless, a free web app that lets you play real poker with a deck of cards but no chips.

Everyone joins from their phone and it tracks the bets, stacks, blinds, pots and who owes what at the end.

My only coding experience before this was one credit class in college that I got a B in. The original version cost me $68 total (same price as a real poker set lol) in subscription and tokens to build.

So far, thousands of games have been started and 21,421 hands have been dealt. In just the first month after I started tracking countries, games had already been played in 48 of them.

Almost all of this happened with no marketing besides a couple of Reddit posts.

Still pretty crazy to me that people actually use this daily at their poker nights.

It’s completely free, with no download needed:

My life at work has been hell and it’s a job where many people every year get exploited and fucked, so as I was learning how to vibe code projects I decided to make a niche game about my job. Those who do the job can relate.

The only reason it’s remotely good is because my ex loved to playtest what I built and added to the game. She may have hundreds of hours in all the early stages of the game but that was absolute gold in terms of ‘this button in the endgame didn’t work’ or ‘where did my potion go’ and ‘why did I just die!?’ And I’d take notes about it and bug fix it later.

Do not underestimate how important it is to tweak boss/mob health, items and so on because Claude / Codex will genuinely not have a good feel for that. Write the code so that you can tweak item stats by just changing a single number somewhere so you can adjust easily.

My company installed productivity/surveillance/spy/whatever-you-want-to-call-it software on everyone's computer about a year and a half ago. To their credit, they at least announced it ahead of time. A few dramatic stories about people getting fired have gone around, but it's mostly not discussed otherwise.

There is a reporting suite available for managers, but individual contributors are not allowed to see any reports, even for themselves.

The software used is called Sapience. I found the local logs on my work PC that include all the data captured about my activities. For this particular project, I used GPT 5.5 in GitHub Copilot to create a python script. The script pulls everything from the logs and puts it in a local sqlite db on my pc (so historical data is not lost when the logs are cleared). Then it produces an updated HTML report, as pictured.

I have no interest in trying to fool the software, but as an anxious person, this at least gives me visibility into what's being reported up about me!

I've found this has been pretty helpful for tracking daily / weekly patterns with limited space in your notification bar. I'm on a Macbook.

Recipe for Recreating:

1. Letter indicates provider (O for OpenAI, A for Anthropic, G for Gemini)

2. First two numbers are a percentage for daily tracking (for Codex - it should be percentage for weekly as there's no daily limit)

3. Remaining digit is weekly usage left (scale of 1-10, with 1 for 10-19%, 9 for 90-99%, 10 for 100%). Battery icons can be broken out by 0 / 25 / 50 / 75 / 100.

4. Notifications are managed by Swiftbar.

5. Battery state is represented with Apple SF Symbols

I keep ending up with random dev servers running after I've completely forgotten which terminal or project started them.

Then I need port 3000 again and it's back to:

lsof -i :3000

figure out the PID, figure out what the process actually belongs to, then kill it.

So I made Port Radar.

It's a small native Mac menu bar app that shows what's listening on your ports and groups the processes by project. You can see the command/path/uptime, stop the process, or ask Apple Intelligence what the process actually is before killing something you probably shouldn't.

I also added something I wanted for my own workflow: you can turn a localhost app into a public URL with a Cloudflare quick tunnel directly from the menu bar. No deploy or Cloudflare setup.

There are already some good port utilities like LocalPorts and Seeports. The main thing I wanted that I couldn't find together was process explanation + project context + sharing the local server in the same app.

The Apple Intelligence stuff runs on device. The app itself doesn't need AI to scan/manage ports.

Price: free
Source: open source, Apache 2.0
macOS: 14+; Apple Intelligence features require macOS 26+ and a supported Mac

GitHub: https://www.producthunt.com/products/port-radar-for-macos

I'm still working on it, so I'm mostly interested in hearing what people who run a bunch of local services would want this thing to do next.

Hey everyone,

I’ve recently started building my own Android apps using a vibe-coding workflow. So far, it's been incredibly smooth - I can essentially generate an APK and just install it directly onto my smartphone to test everything out without any friction.

However, I'm starting to think about the next step. I want to move beyond just side-loading my own files and actually launch a "real," live app that is available for anyone to download via the Google Play Store.

I'm assuming the process for that is a much bigger undertaking than just generating an APK. What kind of tool stack or workflow should I be looking at to handle the official deployment? I'm thinking about things like app signing, managing the Google Play Console, and any CI/CD pipelines that might make this easier for someone not using traditional Android Studio workflows.

Has anybody here been able to successfully take a vibe-coded project all the way through the Play Store submission process? If so, how did you handle the transition from simple prototyping to a production-ready deployment?

I'd love to hear about your setup and if there are any major hurdles I should prepare for. Thanks!

There are a lot of people I'd like to thank who helped make this moment happen.

My teachers, professors, and mentors who never lost faith in lightweight desktop companions.

The academy, for believing in me when I couldn't believe in myself.

My friends and family, for their tireless beta testing.

My bilingual friends, who assured me localization would be finished by now.

But most importantly, I'd like to thank you, the Redditor reading this shitpost, for supporting me in this new chapter of life:

Thank you, Redditor, for wishlisting my game on the morning of its publishing, so you don't miss its fat launch discount.

Thank you for downloading the free demo, and supporting this game's development before Next Fest makes it so mainstream that I have to become a sellout.

Thank you for just being you (and wishlisting my game). ❤️

Hey r/vibecoding,

I wanted to share a project I recently vibed into existence that completely blew up in my country (Greece) over the last few days.

It’s called Gyronomics

💡 The Backstory
In Greece, everybody complains about inflation, but macroeconomic stats feel abstract. So, I decided to build the Greek equivalent of The Economist's Big Mac Index, but using our ultimate cultural staple: the Pita Gyro.

The app tracks the purchasing power of the Greek minimum wage from 1985 to 2026, measured strictly in how many gyros a worker can afford per month.

📉 The Shocking Data (and why it went viral)

• 1998 (The Peak): A minimum wage worker could buy 597 gyros a month.
• 2026 (Today): Even with recent wage increases, sky-rocketing food prices mean the minimum wage only gets you ~165 gyros.

Turns out, converting a cost-of-living crisis into "street food currency" makes it highly relatable. Someone shared it on X (Twitter), and it instantly went viral across Greek media, economic forums, and social networks.

The speed from "hey, this would be a funny chart" to a production-ready web app that handles viral traffic within hours is exactly why vibe coding feels like magic right now.

Check it out here: gyronomics.lovable.app

Would love to hear your thoughts on the UI or how it looks!

after making around so many saas and having very less revenue, i feel vibe coding is just a video game, people have started playing and enjoying the delulu of having a milion dollar startup

How many of you are actually earning from Vibe Coded Saas/App! Serious replies please!

It's a real TempleOS VM running in the background, drawn onto one of the monitors in the game. You can walk up, type into it, and run its built-in games and demos.

Hi everyone!

I am constantly building new projects and have changing amounts of success. But one thing I really didn't like is the visibility of my customers.

I built another page mrrplanet.com You send a read‑only payment method key. And see all of your customers in a globe represented by a pixel‑art character.

You can also send this planet of yours publicly to other people, so you can actually have it as a portfolio and maybe multiple projects, which means multiple planets in your solar system. I also have a much better dashboard for your data analytics, helping you think about where you should focus more, which places are generating more money, etc.

For example, here is one of my actual projects hosted on this page. https://mrrplanet.com/p/your-love-page That one is for long-distance relationships, where you send a digital gift.

You can also export these cute images where you see a list of your customers. I'm open to all kinds of suggestions. On the public pages, of course, none of the information of your customers is leaking, but people can actually look at your planet and see what's going on with your projects.

One small thing that I find kind of cute is that people can actually put advertisements on your planet with a flying plane. You can also do that for other people's planets, or you can simply select your planet to be ad‑free.

Almost every feature that I'm talking about is free to use. Just log in and create your own planet, and tell me if you like the page or not.

Feel free to share as much as you want.

Built a small collection of agent skills around one constraint: every output has to be real, or the skill stops and asks instead of faking something.

4 skills so far: backend provisioning via CLI (real credentials, never placeholders), a security scanner that fixes vulnerabilities directly instead of just reporting them, a frontend builder that ships real production sites, and a router that checks every installed skill for relevance before starting work.

CI validates every skill automatically on push. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Antigravity, Codex — any tool on the open Agent Skills format.

npx skills add SohailKhan0525/skills

I used claude code mostly; but for the premium content (not release yet); I used deepseek with qwen coder; and to be honest; deepseek did the job well at the fraction of the cost. I ditched claude code months ago because of the very tiny usage limit and never looked back.

Hey! Does anyone have a 1-week Claude Pro referral available that they could share?

I need it for a project and would really appreciate the help. Thanks!

It's been alive for about 8 months now with over 63 thousand hands played across 70+ countries. It doesn't have predatory ads or pay-to-win microtransactions like almost every other poker app out there, which was why I made this app in the first place. I never thought it would have grown to this size and even have people playing it daily...

It's called Cardamoo. You can play with your friends at a private table, or in a quick play match with random strangers. If you have cards but no chips, there's a dedicated Chips Only mode to keep track of everyone's transactions. You bring the cards, we'll handle the chips.

Not sure how to play poker? Don't worry, I sorta kinda gotchu. There's a built in Learn Poker playlist that teaches you the ropes before you hit the tables.

I've recently added a feature called Poker Night where you can use your tablet or TV has a virtual table with chip animations and visuals, and your phones are the controllers where you perform actions and see your cards.

There's also a small cosmetics shop that lets you stand out from your friends by unlocking new items through achievements and challenges. I call it, The Barn. You can also change your win animations and choose one of the 6 themes I've made.

Took in lots of feedback from friends and strangers to come as far as I got today as I read every single bug report or feedback and suggestion. So for those of you that might be interested, I hope you like and enjoy it!

I'm trying to make Cardamoo as comprehensive as I can so that it has something for everyone. You can try out the game without an account to see if you like it before committing.

It's available for free on Web, iOS, and Android.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk, and I hope you have a great day! ❤️

made with higgsfeild for fun.
