I built* an Android app to generate OpenPrintTags!

I was pretty excited about Prusa’s OpenPrintTag specs and the implication with NFC tags, but there weren’t any apps available that could generate them (or read the bin files generated on the site), so I built (well… mostly vibe coded) an app!

I’m also trying to get it released on the Play Store, but apparently need testers, so let me know if you’re interested!

Note: I’ve only tested this on NFC215 tags, not the actual OpenPrintTags from Prusa since I don’t have any, so I would appreciate any feedback on whether this works for those of you with them.

How does this community feel about ai slop and “vibe coding”? I for one would like to see it disappear completely and become forbidden in as many places as possible

I dunno. If it accomplishes the goal and there’s not a better option…?

I’m skeptical that it does accomplish the goal though.

The issue is that if you accept it, there will be no better option. Once you get out of the evangelists (who rarely actually contribute much code…) you are looking at professionals who are choosing to spend their free time contributing to the community. And having a few users (or, in this case, ad watching customers in the android app…) goes a long way. You don’t get that if everyone has decided the vibe coded slop is “good enough”.
Interesting perspective. I guess I’m the opposite since I believe if you care about and believe in your code, you’re willing to be honest about the tools you used to generate it.
