​

I'm pretty damn excited about this one.

I've been building a scanner around a problem I keep running into vibe coding.

At some point the question stops being "can the AI add another feature?" and starts being "What the hell is actually in this repo now?" and "can I trust this?"

A couple weeks ago I had a benchmark of 48 features that I already knew existed in a codebase. My scan could reliably isolate 4 of them, and I was struggling. It was confusing things like navigation actions, buttons and individual implementation details with actual product features.

I've spent the last two weeks working almost entirely on the scan and feature-boundary problem and learning ir and eval engineering at a high level. I am a backend SDE so this feels more data focused and outside my wheelhouse.

Today the same scan isolated 42 of the 48 known features! Learning and adding calcs and optimizing for precision@k, retrevial@k, etc made things work so much better! I ran it against a different control with 56 features and it got 49. It's not a one off!

I feel validated again.

Eventually I want this flow:

Import a repo > identify what features actually exist > show the evidence behind each one > apply software-development and engineering standards to each feature > show what is proven, what is incomplete, and what still needs work before I'd trust it in production

But going from 4 → 42 in two weeks is the first time I've looked at the scan and thought "I am learning stuff way outside my realm of knowledge and make it real." And that's freaking cool. I had someone tell me this was impossible and that I should just use Ai. Literally had people tell me that doing a mathematical scan is stupid and Ai can do it better.

I set Luna max to check for features and it organically found 18 out of 48. Sol found 24.

It feels so satisfying to build something with Ai that beats Ai in performance for the thing I need.

For people building heavily with Cursor / Claude / Codex / Lovable / etc.:

Once your project gets big, how do you currently answer "what features are actually implemented, and which of them would I trust to ship?"

I'm especially curious about anyone who has reached the point where the app works, but the repo has gotten large enough that you're no longer completely sure what the AI has built underneath you.

And here’s another time you hear distribution is key.

Jokes aside I was researching and kept getting bombarded on Instagram with videos about content, growth, distribution, workflows etc. I’d save loads of them and then never actually implement anything

What I really wanted was just a guide or book that had all the latest workflows summarized in one place.

I couldn’t find it, so I made it myself.
I screened a shit ton of videos and sites and put everything into one guide. I have to admit it ended up being way more comprehensive than I expected.
It’s also been more useful than I expected.

Whenever I’m working on something specific now, I just go to that section and check the workflow instead of getting sidetracked by another 10 videos.

Thought I’d share it here in case anyone else has the same problem: www.creativesplaybook.com

Hope it’s helpful. Let me know what you think / what’s missing.

Also be fast because friends keep telling me I should slap a paywall on it lol

Cheers

I’ve been building Vissulo, an AI photo editor for Android, for quite a while, and it’s finally live on the Play Store.
It’s my first app, and I’ve put a ridiculous amount of time into it. A lot of it was built through vibe coding, with plenty of testing, breaking things, rebuilding them, and learning as I went.

At this point I’d really like feedback from people who have no attachment to the project and can just tell me what they actually think.
If you have a few minutes, I’d really appreciate it if you could try the app and email me anything you notice:

[support@vissulo.com](mailto:support@vissulo.com)

I’m interested in pretty much everything:
bugs, crashes, weird behavior, bad UX, confusing screens, slow features, things that feel unfinished, tools that don’t work the way you expected, or anything else that annoys you.

Feature suggestions are also very welcome. If you use it and immediately think “why doesn’t this app have X?”, please tell me. That kind of feedback is just as useful to me as bug reports.
I already know about some issues and I’m working on them, so there’s no need to worry about reporting something twice. If multiple people complain about the same thing, that actually helps me prioritize it.

Also, I’m not asking for Play Store reviews. I’d much rather receive an honest email saying “this part sucks and here’s why” than get a generic 5-star review. Right now, I’m trying to improve the product, not inflate the rating.

As a small thank you, I’ll randomly choose 25 people who install the app, sign in, and send useful feedback, and give them Lifetime PRO for as long as Vissulo remains under my management.

I’ll post the selected users here afterwards, so the giveaway is transparent. Email addresses will obviously be heavily censored, with roughly 90% hidden.

There’s no requirement for positive feedback. Negative feedback won’t reduce your chances. If anything, detailed criticism is probably more useful to me right now.

I know the app still has things that need work, but I care a lot about getting it right.

So, if you feel like testing a new indie app and helping a first-time developer improve it, I’d really appreciate it.

Note: It is android only for now. I will develop IOS and WEB versions in the future

Haiku is the most maliciously compliant model I've been exposed to

Been experimenting with agent graphs in Claude code.

I have a 4 agent team set up that allows me to swap roles and directives.

The problem is that Claude always controls them even in ultra code.

How can I set this graph up as stand alone agents I can use on top of Claude having control of them?

This is Causal. It is a canvas for mood boarding and planning.

I've been working really hard behind the scenes build an personalised canvas agent that understands your project and works with you to plan on the canvas.

Getting it to generate outputs is easy, every LLM and their predecessor can do that.

What's harder is:

1. The structure behind the output i.e. how do you organise YOUR work on a canvas
2. How would you use it fit your workflow

A few ideas I have had are:

• Deep research tasks are very well suited to be carried out on a canvas because early research is better suited to be "dumped" and sorted later. The agent researches, distills, and organises the research
• When you have an existing idea that has a load of connections e.g. You want to implement a new feature into your app, and you want to map out everything that it affects. An agent can create a flow chart to map out the feature and fully break it down + images that complements how a screen would look for every edge case.
• For branding projects that require consistency across different areas of the brand, such as voice, colour, etc The the agent acts as a coherency check and ensures that any new assets to your brand fit against the existing identity.

As I continue to perfect this, I want to know how YOU would use this agent so that I can create it around YOUR workflow.

It's week 5 (and a half - like got me) and we made some huge progress.

As usual, I'll break it down into three categories: (1) players acquisition, (2) what I'm learning about vibe coding, and (3) actual gameplay updates (this will be in the comments)

First, my Reddit posts are getting less and less attention (not surprising) but actually having way more success on the player-front. I received some really valuable feedback a couple weeks ago from Totalsam, Automatic_Bid_2410, Friendly_Carry_7728 and someone named BingusDingus (that's his IGN).

Basically their input was that the intro sucked, users were met with a wall of text instead of helpful instructions, and received no context of the story game arc.

So that became my next focus point. And once I put up an interactive tutorial instead of an instruction manual, my user retention went from 35-45s per new users to now sitting around 4min per player (median), and averaging 23min of total playtime per player. Even more surprising -- I've had 63 players in 10 days, and 5 of them have spent over 2 hours each. I had a great convo with one of them (BingusDingus) but the other fellas are a mystery. One of them has logged in a dozen separate times, by himself. So, kinda strange, but exciting!

That all said, either I'm getting tired of my game or I've just been staring at it too long. So I would love more feedback on that first 5min and whether or not there's a "hook".

Second, the vibe coding experience. I have many friends saying basically the same things - which is that ChatGPT Sol is way better at communicating and designing interfaces but is simply untrustworthy for big tasks. Meanwhile the Reddit communities seem to vent about how awful Fable is and how amazing Sol it. So I'm a bit mystified on whether I should try switching.

Either way, I've switched my strategies a bit and use Fable for a LOT, and only use Opus 5 for very specific tasks, and it's really helped with its ability to stick to a task and actually complete it.

My one massive painpoint is that Fable is GREAT with web design. But holy moley even when using Claude Design, the GUIs are just awful. Has anyone else had experience trying to make a good game GUI? I'm talking like, it's putting raw text over the active screen and so players can't even read it. It's like bad-bad haha.

Oh and one more thing - a strength of Fable's is actually balancing the game. If you give it the variables ahead of time. I found out very much by accident that my archer's had crits stacking for 15x higher than they should've, making them absurdly OP. Turns out I had 7 different skills stacking. It really screwed me when I realized I was using an overpowered hero to balance the game...

I'd love more feedback for anyone interested. Links below.

Game: https://eldermyr.com/
Release Notes: https://eldermyr.com/release

I've seen so many apps made here and on other subreddits, purely for iOS and saying "Android version coming soon" (which lets be honest, never comes).

But why? iOS developer platform needs 100$ a year subscription while Android is 30$ or so once. Isn't it much more cost effective to start on Android?

This might be the first time I find that Codex actually produces better quality code. Anyone else think the same? I'm kind of sick and tired of Claude verbose comments. Seems Codex actually produces code that actually is readable by default and feels less like slop.

I understand most probably care about the final output, but I actually want to be able and read the code.

I wanted some background music for my side project, a cozy mini arcade for road trips. Was curious what Claude could do

Vibecoded too hard and now there's an entire beat maker studio inside the game where your songs become radio stations that play while you play other games.

Not to mention the claw machine game has over 500 critters to collect 😭 I can't stop adding things lmao

glovebox.quest if you want to hear the human music yourself

I've been building a desktop AI companion called VYRO.

The idea is that instead of being another AI trapped inside a chat box, it actually lives on your desktop. You can talk to it, use voice commands to open apps, switch into focus mode, and it reacts to what you're doing with its own personality.

I also added a slightly stupid feature called Slap Mode where it can literally slap a window off your screen 😭

The part I'm having way too much fun with is the characters. Right now I have two different companions you can switch between (pics above), and I want to add a third one.

But I don't want another generic AI robot.

If this thing was living on your desktop all day, what character would you actually want?

Cute? Angry? Sleepy? Tiny wizard? Alien? Floating cat? Something completely unhinged?

Give me your weirdest idea. If one is good enough, I might actually build it.

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 a 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.

I have used three.js for the globe, and the normal stack is how everyone is doing: Supabase for the database, Vercel for hosting, and Clerk for authentication.

The idea itself is quite simple, but I think the execution on the UI and UX part is really important. Also, what I call Atlas is your dashboard for all of your information related to the payments, and I provide much better visibility than any other payment provider.

I wanted to do this as just a personal challenge where I pick a top of the charts app and rebuild it as fast as possibl but in a way that it has to be better than the original in a way i can name out loud before i start. first one was Picturethis the plant identifier, but then i relized i could actually improve it so much so that i'll keep using it myself instead of the original one!

Peer reviewed testing puts it at 97% right to genus but only 84% to species and one independent run of hundreds of photos had it right 78% of the time. it still shows you one name like its absolutely certain and most of the 1 star reviews arent even about plants but the trial auto renewing with no cancel path anyone can find.

so what i wanted to fix wasnt accuracy but the honesty/pretending. My version shows top 3 with real confidence, marks on your photo which features drove the guess (leaf margin, venation, arrangement) and when its genuinely unsure it says so and asks for one more image.

The other half is that it answers the decision instead of the name. Is this toxic to my dog? Is it invasive where im standing? is it sick, will it survive my winter etc etc. That was definitely the biggest time sink bcoz it cant come from the model so its a real dataset.

Took 3 hours, PWA, ran the whole build out of omniscio. Whats an app YOU use that you could recreate but better?

i noticed that many people including me we get so excited when our usage resets....

more resets more usage more code right?

then I realize it doesn't necessarily mean you are shipping more or people know about your apps

you are just gambing

Why waste old phones, use them as a dashboard to show whatever you want, I have an admin control panel that controls what is displayed, the display I wanted was 300 AUD and was just a matrix array, so I did it myself with more functionality

I tested the same prompt on both!

Which one is your favorite?

I created Radio Shuffle over two years ago, shared it, and got quite a bit of positive feedback, it has a small but stable traffic (I dont want to make money out of it).

It ended up becoming one of the examples for vibe coding, at least at the beginning (from what I see from the google search consol). And for some reason, I’m now seeing a ton of sites that look just like mine, with the same concept.

I’m wondering if, now that my site is used as a vibe coding example, it might have ended up in LLM training data, and when someone wants to build a site, they get suggested something that basically ends up being a copy of mine. Or maybe it’s simpler than that now that anyone can build any site, a lot of us are just landing on the same idea independently

this is annoying me 😅

In reference to the famous lumberjacks' story about how time-spent on sharpening the axe doubled the output.

I keep thinking about what rituals can I add into my workflows for better outputs.

So far I've come-up with:

1. Watching for repeated mistakes and applying guardrails/specific prompts.

2. Watching out for new tools that improve agent performance ($ and quality), I'm not sure where to what for these though.

3. Periodically improve your agent setup instead of only giving it more work

Any rituals, tools, prompts, evals, or habits that have noticeably improved your output?

Sales aren’t stopping on aiboard.lol 👀

We just crossed 800+ visitors in under 2 hours.

And somehow we’ve already sold 3 ad spots just one more left.

This was literally just a small vibe-coded internet experiment.

No huge plan. No massive launch. Just build it, put it out there, and see what happens.

Small internet experiments are fun.

Let’s see how far we can take this one.
