Where are the vibecoded Photoshops?

If vibecoding is what people say it is, the world should be drowning in vibecoded artifacts right now. Two years of access. Millions of people with the tools. The barrier supposedly fell, right? RIGHT? So where is everything?

A friend of mine just came for a consultation about her presentation website that her relative #vibeCoded before dinner. Apart from few fairly minor issues the #AI did a banger job (including admin) and she has a solution to her itch.
I wrote down next iteration of instructions for the #LLM for her and I would expect all of those to be done before she walks home.
And I’m sooooo glad that the solution was not based on #WordPress.

I #vibecoded in 2h a simple #app to manage shared expenses for trips with friends. When I was showing it, the obvious question came up:

“But surely there’s already an app for this, no?” 🤔

And the answer is: yes, I’m 100% sure there are many. 🤷‍♂️

BUT… finding them, comparing them, testing them, creating an account, discovering the free version is too limited, realizing they don’t work exactly the way you want, getting annoyed, trying another one… 🥱🥱🥱 can easily take more time than building the perfect tiny solution for your own use case.

I accept this is a new variant of the #NotInventedHere syndrome. Except that this time, for a not-so-small category of simple but useful apps, it actually makes sense.

Not because we should rebuild everything. But because sometimes the fastest path is not searching for the right tool. It is creating the small tool you need.

The app itself is very simple: basically a web wrapper on top of an Excel file.

Here my first #vibecoded experimental project: #ArtenTracker (species tracker). My goal is to make #biodiversity data stored in scientific databases better accessible. Data is from #gbif. With this #prototype I want to find out whether pursuing this project further is promising. Feedback is very welcome. Disclaimer: I am not a professional coder but a biologist. https://huggingface.co/spaces/Sueamit/ArtenTracker

Who needs real people when you can have AI friends, personalized to a generated profile of yourself?? Based on your personal blog, mastodon, github, tumblr, etc, or just freeform text files.

https://github.com/audiodude/sudomake-friends/

Self hosted OSS. Requires uv, git, Docker, Telegram and an Anthropic key.

I worked really hard on designing the setup wizard so that you can set this up easily in about 10-15 minutes. You can also pause setup at any time and resume.

You can customize or re-roll your friends before you start. It's kind of an RPG where you roleplay as someone who has friends...

I've used it myself for the past 10 days or so, gradually tweaking the prompts so that the friends were more "lifelike" (or at least less repetitive and annoying).

Introducing Distro-Plopper!

A #vibecoded, #distrohopping migration tool. If it doesn't work, blame #Claude

What it [allegedly] does:

distro-plopper scans your current system and bundles everything into a portable export — then restores it on a fresh install with an interactive #TUI (or plain text fallback).

- Not yet fully tested, so beware!
- I [Claude] built this for a #Manjaro #migration to another Arch based #linux distro. Setting everything up is such a pain.
