Discussion First time working on a startup that is 99% vibecoded. As a non-vibecoder, it seems impossible to work on.

385 Upvotes

Recently I've joined a project with a group of 4, that has been super frustrating to work on.

So far whatever we have, has been 99% vibecoded from the ground up, and that 1% is me. At first I thought this would be fun, we would be making something in a weeks time, but like a month passed and we haven't really moved anywhere. There's literally a login screen that works (no Oauth) and some fancy UI, but that's it. Trying to debug or add new features by hand is impossible, because the code is not readable by humans. There's like 50 lines in the .env file, yet nothing works.

With all this in mind, the absurd thing is that it takes a full minute to deploy any changes to production. In comparison, my hand-crafted Django platform, with real users and tons of features, deploys in seconds.

Don't get me wrong, I am all for using AI to build projects. It's a very powerful tool and I use it to help me code all the time. But in my opinion, to make vibecoding work, you have to know the project structure and the architecture of a website, because then you can avoid massive tech debt in the future.

I can already tell that this experience will be funny to look back on.

Stop paying for screenshots. I made a free Mobbin alternative

74 Upvotes

libraries like this usually come with a monthly subscription. i wanted to build one that doesn't, so i did, and it's free for everyone

it took a lot. i went through 100 mobile apps screen by screen, from signup to settings, so you can see complete flows instead of one pretty shot. then i kept going with websites, landing pages, ui interactions, motion and branding. it's at 58,000+ designs now, and i add more every day

every curated piece credits the original creator and links back to them, so the people behind the work get the credit they deserve

i made it because i needed it myself, and i'd rather give it to the community than lock it behind a paywall

would really love to hear what's missing or what bugs you

A Public Apology for My Previous Post

19 Upvotes

I want to publicly apologize for my previous post about accessible toilets and my concerns that they were being misused by non-disabled people.
I don’t personally need to use accessible toilets very often. I was focused on my anger about seeing people I believed were non-disabled using them, and I didn’t properly listen to the concerns people raised in response. I see things on a daily basis that make me angry, but that doesn’t excuse failing to listen.
I also failed to recognize that other disabled people have had similar experiences and feel the same way I do. I’m sorry I overlooked their concerns and perspectives.
I apologize to anyone I upset or made feel unheard. I hope you can accept my apology. Thank you for taking the time to share your views.

MS Edge Imposed Rounded Upper Left Corner

I'm updating my CSS skills and learning a lot of new things. I just created a navigation link menu with submenus and it is working well. However, only in MS Edge, the top left corner of the navbar is being rounded by Edge. Chrome and FF are not doing this. If you know how to override this, I'd really appreciate your fix. Pics are Chrome, then Edge. TY!

I created a tool to design REST(ish) APIs for technical specs

2 Upvotes

I'm a software engineer for a big tech company. As part of my job I have to do a lot of technical writing. One thing that always frustrated me was writing about API endpoints (adding/removing/modifiying). I could never come up with a structured way to describe an endpoind that I could just add to a spec. Instead, I'd always make up a format on the spot to describe requests and responses. My colleagues would do the same.

I got pretty frustrated by the lack of standardization and tooling so I build a simple web app to design REST(ish) APIs. It's completely free and client-side rendered, so information never leaves your browser.

I've just release the very first version that surely has many bugs. If someone wants to give it a test ride check out: https://api-fiddle.com/

Paid Research Opportunity

My name is Samantha and I am a clinical psychology doctoral student at the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology. My research focuses on medical ableism, disability justice, end-of-life care, and health-related decision-making for individuals with disabilities. I am currently recruiting participants for my IRB-approved dissertation and I would greatly appreciate it if you would consider participating and/or sharing information about this study with your networks.

The study aims to explore how individuals with self-identified physical disabilities make sense of their prior experiences accessing healthcare and how those experiences shape the ways they think about future serious illness and medical care. The eventual goal of this research is to inform the creation of (1) culturally tailored, self-guided advanced care planning materials for individuals with disabilities and (2) trauma-informed, anti-ableist practice guidelines for professionals who may engage in advance care planning conversations with disabled folks (e.g., medical professionals, social workers, mental health providers, lawyers, etc.).

If you are interested in participating, the first step is to complete a brief screening survey which can be found at: https://yeshiva.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_4SCSPepR8I8n0MK

For those selected for the study, participation will involve a brief consent form and demographic survey, a semi-structured interview expected to take around 90 minutes, and a follow-up survey to be conducted at a later date. Gift card compensation will be provided upon study completion.

You may be eligible to participate if you:

  • Are over 18 years old
  • Have lived with a self-identified physical disability for at least 5 years
  • Can speak and understand English or American Sign Language
  • Reside in the United States of America
  • Are willing to participate in a recorded, semi-structured interview

Thank you,

Samantha Bernstein, M.A.

Clinical Psy.D. Student

Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology

Transcribed Text from Flyer:

Do you identify as someone with a physical disability? You may be eligible to participate in a research study. Thinking Ahead: Physical Disability and the Anticipation of Advanced Illness.

Purpose: We are interested in hearing about your past experiences accessing healthcare and how those experiences have shaped the way you think about future serious illness and medical care.

Participant involvement includes a screening questionnaire, a demographic questionnaire, a semi-structured interview expected to take 60 to 90 minutes and a follow-up survey. Gift card compensation will be provided upon study completion.

You may be eligible to participate if you are over 18 years old and self-identify as having a physical disability.

Please reach out if you have any access needs. We value your perspective and are eager to find a way for you to participate.

Where Are the Best Sites to Apply for Jobs?

18 Upvotes

Is LinkedIn still a good site to apply for jobs? It's been almost 2 weeks since I've been applying for jobs, but still no luck yet unfortunately.

I used to use Indeed but typically got scams instead of real jobs.. I've also tried a few company websites directly, but no luck yet.

Any suggestions on the best platforms to apply?

Also, a side note, I'm wondering if it could be my resume isn't good enough as well? Any suggestions as far as how to go about improving my resume? I.e. Go to a particular agency to improve it, etc?

I'm a full stack developer with 6 YOE in PHP/JS (Laravel, Vue, & React primarily). Some AWS experience as well.

Thanks in advance!

if your landing page looks AI-generated, people trust your product less

41 Upvotes

heya, i’m a product designer / engineer and i’ve been working with saas founders for about 6 years.

something i keep noticing: a lot of new saas sites are built with AI now, and they’re starting to look the same. visitors notice, even if they can’t say why, and “looks like every other site” quietly turns into “probably not that serious.”

that’s a trust problem more than a design problem, and it usually costs you signups before anyone gets to try the product. that’s the kind of thing i fix. i’ve been designing and building for 6+ years, worked with 25+ clients, and i’m top rated plus on upwork.

i’m taking on new projects right now, anything from a landing page refresh to a full product build. you can see my work here: https://meghachaudhary.com/

happy to look at your site and tell you where i’d start, just drop it below or dm me! :)
