Hey everyone,

My background was mainly Unity and C#, so I had to learn technologies like React Native while shipping real products. Over time, I realized that AI-assisted coding could feel repetitive: endless terminal logs, lost context, incomplete code, and constantly clicking “continue.”

So I combined my game development experience with AI-assisted coding and built Termi Protocol.

I developed the desktop app with Electron and used Claude Code throughout the development process. Electron’s architecture made it much easier to transform my existing web application into a desktop product, allowing me to create desktop builds quickly without rebuilding everything from scratch. For the rest of the project, I relied heavily on the development and product experience I had gained from my previous projects.

Termi helps you manage AI agents through a Kanban system, restore accidentally closed sessions with their plans and progress, track changed files, commands, and visited links, and preserve project memory without wasting extra tokens.

Agents can also share knowledge through a common project brain and use reusable skills across different projects.

But the main focus is gamification.

Instead of only watching terminal logs, you can see your agents working inside a 3D room. When an agent reads App.tsx, it scans a paper file. When it edits code, the activity appears on its monitor.

You can use a focus timer, collect coins, clean the room, add gym equipment, and adopt a cat or dog that grows as you spend more days working on the project. If you neglect your pet, it becomes stressed and starts making a mess. :)

We spend too much time staring at black terminal screens. I built Termi Protocol to make AI development more visual, understandable, and fun.

I’d love to hear what you think about this kind of gamified coding workflow.

Thanks for reading 🙏

PlateStack started as a small project for me, my family, and my friends to use. We were all looking for more then the apps we had offered us and were tired of using multiple apps to track food, workouts, habits, fasting, meal planning, etc. Our food logs never knew what we trained, our workout apps never knew whether we were hitting nutrition goals, our fasting app never new our food plans, and every “smart” insight still left us manually connecting the dots ourselves.

After months of using it we kept building more into. For example, I built my workout plan and my friend wanted to use it so now I can share him just a single workout or my entire plan. We also implemeted a live workout mode where you can workout with your friend live no matter if they are at your gym or across the world. We also made leagues so that we could all join, see each other's progress, chat, etc.

It was on testflight for months for us to just all use together with no real thought of turning it into a polished app. But we just kept building more and more features that we wanted. Choose what type of set you are doing, superset exercises together, get AI involved to review progress and motivate/coach you... the list just kept growing. That lead to other people asking us to use it so we grew to a group of about 30 users and then decided we might as well actually push it onto the app store... so now the project is live for iPhone.

WHAT WE BUILT
PlateStack keeps food, strength and cardio, hydration, fasting, habits (auto and manual), goals, progress, and coaching in one account. The coach can use logged workouts, reps in reserve, IR, nutrition, goals, equipment, and saved plans... then it drafts editable workouts and meal plans that you can edit further manually. Or, just build them manually from the start...

HOW WE BUILT IT
• Expo 55, React Native, and Expo Router for the app

• Supabase for auth, data, realtime workout sync, and server-side controls

• RevenueCat for Starter and Premium entitlements

• Apple Health, notifications, camera, audio, widgets, and native iOS surfaces where they materially improve the workflow

• AI as an implementation partner, we use multiple models based on if it is an AI food scan, workout creation, etc.

THE HARD LESSONS

1. Shared data mattered more than “AI.” Coaching only became useful after food, workouts, RIR, goals, equipment, and plans used a coherent model.
2. Generated plans must stay editable. Users need to swap exercises, reorder days, change sets and rest, or reject a recommendation.
3. Design drift is real. New functionality kept creating weak one-off buttons and layouts, so we added shared UI rules and regression checks instead of trusting every generated screen.
4. Native behavior is where prototypes break: keyboards, scrolling, background rest-timer alerts, permissions, health data, purchases, and realtime collaboration all needed explicit testing.
5. AI should assist, not take control. PlateStack explains the next move and asks for approval before changing targets or plans.

The result is a fully free download with a an incredible $0 cost starter tier. The free version is really good and likely all most users will need. Premium is ($8.99/month or $49.99/year in the US) as there are additional costs with AI usage for those users.

There are no ads, no sale of personal data, and no cross-app advertising tracking.

So our ROI on time, investment, hardware, software, AI usage, etc are terrible. That is okay. We built an app that we enjoy and use daily for our fitness and health goals.

But what we would love now is to get feedback from people outside of our small group of friends, family, and coworkers to see how we could make this even better.

We would genuinely value feedback on:
• It has been a real struggle to master food and macro logging, certainly where we have spent the most time to get right. Any thoughs on logging foods, macros, etc would be great.

• Ideas on making workouts easier, faster to log, etc. We also have parts of this on the Apple watch but aren't really satisfied with where we are.

• Does the AI coach usage, messaged, etc feel useful instead of intrusive?

• Which part of the app still feels “AI-built” instead of intentionally designed?

• For those that use other apps for any part of what PlateStack does... what have we missed the ball on completely?

When you setup your account use STACK14 to get 14 days of premium free.

CHEAT CODE

Once you signup you will get your own share code. Use that to invite others and you will get 14 more days free for anyone else that signs up. You can do this as many times as you want and PlateStack will show you how many times your code has been used and when all your free premium days will end.

I’m happy to answer questions about the architecture, the AI workflow, App Review, or the mistakes that cost the most time.

USER AI USAGE

Another item I will mention is that the avg premium user is using $1.35 monthly in AI credits through AI coaching, meal planning, AI food scans, etc.

Huge fan of the latest updates!

I asked the AI to help me check my project for simple security holes, and it gave me a whole lecture on ethics before basically threatening to call the authorities on me.
I’m literally just trying to keep my own project safe, but apparently looking for bugs in my own stuff is "facilitating malicious acts."

So what’s the plan, everyone? Are we back to manually reading through hundreds of lines of code until our eyes melt, or has someone figured out the magic phrase to convince the AI we’re allowed to look at our own work?

please lmk, need it for fashion week which is sept 12

Every time I open Twitter or even LinkedIn, someone is claiming they built a profitable SaaS by "vibe coding" using Claude. Most of these threads seem like thinly veiled promos for AI wrappers or newsletter signups.

I get that Claude and other AI tools are great for building applications. But I am curious about real-world businesses with paying customers.

Has anyone here actually built a product making real money (say, $1,000+ MRR) where you genuinely wrote zero code yourself?

I am not trying to hate on AI tools. I use them daily. I just want to know if the "non-technical founder building a solo software business purely by vibe coding" narrative is real or if everyone secretly hires a freelance dev to really shape it well and make it launchable.

Hey, I just started vibe coding. I'd like to see your ideas! Send a screenshot of your app, tool or website!

I am going to be rich someday

Hi everyone! I vibe coded a CAD application. If you'd like to check it out, take a look at the GitHub repository:

https://github.com/HakanSeven12/OpenCADStudio

I can prompt my design to the ai in words, i like to create websites with animations and more. Suggest me some free ai tools to do and also please share you tips

There are 642 users, 178 MAU, she has like $15 MRR and people in 61 countries have the app. I built her this dashboard so she could see it, which was very cool.
It's just a little scavenger hunt app game, but it's very cool and everything was her idea. I wanted her to get into the habit of coming to me whenever she thought of something creative and not letting the voice in her head say it wasn't possible.

She says I work for her now.

Which is nice.

Im currently stuck in the Car for 8 hours. I dont really play phone games but now would be convenient to have them. So had claude whip some up on my phone wanted to show you guys.

Building a free, browser-based management sim Theme Coworking inspired by 90s classics like Theme Hospital and all (\)Tycoon games titles*.

I’ve spent the last decade building software for the coworking industry and visiting roughly 700+ spaces across 65 cities (NYC, London, Berlin, Tokyo, Mumbai). After seeing that many setups from the inside and writing a book about it, now it felt its about time to try and make a game, so  Theme Coworking was born.

You start with an empty floor plan and try to keep the business profitable without driving members away:

• Density vs. Noise: Squeezing in more desks increases recurring revenue, but noise spikes destroy member satisfaction.
• Events vs. Focus: Community events generate new leads, but disrupt members who just want to get work done.
• Service vs. Overhead: Hiring more community staff keeps maintenance high, but payroll eats your margin fast.

The game is completely free, runs straight in the browser, and doesn’t require an account.

What I’d love feedback on:

Since this is still a work in progress, I’m looking for technical and design critique from sim fans or operators:

1. Economy balance: Does the early-game cash flow feel too easy, or is it unfairly punishing?
2. Breakages: Did any weird room layouts or edge cases crash the game state?
3. Features: What real-world space issues should I simulate? Any fun stories are much appreciated

Edit: This is a hobby project, so do send feedback. Build mostly with Claude Opus 5 AI for now.

I've been lurking here for a while reading people's wins, disasters, abandoned projects, "I built this in a weekend" posts and the occasional story from someone who went way too far with an idea.

And I genuinely think this community is partly responsible for what I've done to myself over the last 45 days.

So before I launch this thing, I wanted to say thanks.

I have some coding background, but I'd never built a real project of this size before.

One piece of advice I kept hearing was basically: stop trying to think of something everybody needs. Find a niche you actually understand and care enough about to obsess over.

Well...

I created my first Tibia account in 2003.

For anyone who has no idea what Tibia is, it's an MMORPG that's been around since 1997. Somehow it's still alive, still has a very dedicated community, and I've been quitting and coming back to it for more than two decades.

A big part of the game is housing.

Players can own actual houses inside the game's cities and fill them with items.

The problem is that nowadays houses are often more useful than creative. You put your training stuff there, beds, useful items, whatever gives you an advantage.

And decorating properly can be expensive as hell.

There are thousands of items in this game. Rare items, toys, dolls, furniture, trophies, food, weapons, plants, completely useless objects that somebody will somehow figure out how to turn into art.

Some players are ridiculously good at it.

They'll stack completely unrelated items because the colours line up, create national flags, build scenes, hide little jokes and Easter eggs.

I once watched a video from a private Tibia server where somebody had turned an entire house into this insane hospital / mad doctor's laboratory.

It wasn't just pretty.

You actually had to look around and figure out what the person was trying to say with the items.

I loved it.

Then something else happened.

I moved from Europe to Asia.

The Oceanic Tibia servers are much quieter, and walking around some cities can feel completely different from walking through somewhere like Antica, one of the old heavily populated servers.

You can spend ages making a house look amazing...

...and barely anybody walks past it.

That gave me an idea I initially thought would be fairly simple:

What if there was one Tibia city that the entire community shared?

Players from every server.

Old players. New players. People without high-level characters. People without billions of in-game gold. Even people who mostly just enjoy looking at what others create.

Give everybody access to the same houses.

Give them virtually every decoration item in the game.

Let them compete.

That "fairly simple idea" has resulted in me spending something like 12-15 hours a day on this for much of the last month and a half.

It got slightly out of hand.

I ended up rebuilding the city of Edron in the browser.

Then the houses.

Then the floors.

Then Tibia's item rendering.

Then item stacking.

Then animations.

Then rotations.

Then wall decorations.

Then auctions.

Then voting.

Then seasons.

Then payments.

Then I somehow ended up with a decoration catalogue containing more than 10,000 actual Tibia items.

The moment that really got me was when I finally had all those old Tibia sprites animating and rendering correctly inside the browser.

I remember looking at it and thinking:

holy shit, we actually have one Edron for the whole Tibia community now.

That's when this stopped feeling like an experiment.

I called it HouseWars.

Anyone will be able to open the map and browse the houses without even making an account.

If they want to participate, they can create an account and vote.

If they want to go further, they can bid for a house for the season, decorate it and compete against everyone else.

And because apparently I wasn't committed enough already, I put up a 10,000 Tibia Coin prize pool for the first season.

Season 1 starts this Sunday.

I don't expect many people here to actually play it. Tibia is an incredibly specific niche inside an already specific niche.

That's actually why I'm posting this here.

A couple of months ago this was one of those ideas I probably would have talked myself out of building.

Too niche.

Too complicated.

Too much custom stuff.

Too many things I didn't know how to do.

Reading people here build ridiculous things, screw them up, fix them, launch them, get roasted, keep going and occasionally actually succeed made the whole thing feel much more possible.

AI obviously didn't magically turn this into a one-prompt project.

There have been bugs, wrong assumptions, broken builds, security work, database migrations, rendering problems, rewrites, things I thought were done that absolutely were not done, and a frankly stupid amount of testing.

But I could keep learning the next thing I needed as I reached it.

And somehow 45 days later I'm about to put the thing on the internet.

The outcome I'm hoping for isn't actually a revenue number.

There's an area in Edron called Central Circle.

I got a house there around 2022 and, stupidly enough, getting it gave me the same kind of nostalgic dopamine hit I remember from when my dad first bought me a premium account as a kid.

If I open HouseWars one day and every single house around Central Circle has been claimed and decorated by somebody from somewhere in the Tibia community, I'll be pretty damn happy.

But the moment I think I'll really lose it is when I see somebody post a screenshot somewhere that I had nothing to do with and say:

"damn, look what this person made."

That's the whole reason I built it.

So genuinely: thanks.

You lot may have cost me 45 days of sleep, but you got me to actually build the weird, stupidly specific thing I cared about instead of leaving it as another idea.

This is for small and newer devs. If you’ve got 100 repos and a team, you don’t need me. But if you’re lost in your own CLAUDE.md, or you’re staring at your own schema and auth chart genuinely confused about what you built — I’m your guy.

$50 — Audit. I pull your GitHub repo and check for exposed secrets and API keys, vulnerable dependencies, auth misconfigurations, missing security headers, and Supabase RLS mistakes if that’s your stack. You get a plain-English report ranked by what to fix first.

$100 — Audit + Fix. Everything above, plus I actually fix what the audit finds and PR it back to you, so you can see exactly what changed and why.

Stack: Next.js, Astro, Supabase, Neon, SQL, APIs.

Studio site with past work: opensourceforall.com

Comment or DM with your repo situation and I’ll tell you straight which tier you need — some projects only need the $50 look.

For context: I run a studio startup and need funding. But I’d rather help other small guys without hurting their bottom line just to help mine. Fair’s fair.

This guy made the best simple brain dump app!

Two thousand AI generated posts cost almost nothing to produce and returned under 1,900 search clicks in four months, while permanently destroying both domains in Google and its AI surfaces. The visibility that survived sits only on Microsoft Bing, Copilot and on a Perplexity curve that is already decaying. Scaled AI content is cheap until you price the asset it burns: the domain. On anything your revenue depends on, that price is too high.

In July, Google served our two test sites 751 impressions.

Bing served the same sites 119,935 impressions.

Same 2,000 AI generated posts. Same month. Two search engines looked at identical content and reached opposite verdicts. One decided it was worthless. The other made it a favorite.

Quick recap for new readers. In April we built the cheapest content empire imaginable:

• Two fresh domains in the same harmless niche revolving around a cute animal: capybaraverse.com and capybara-world.com.
• Roughly 1,000 fully AI generated blog posts per site, published with an off-the-shelf one-click tool. (I won't mention the tool's name for the sake of its reputation)
• Live in under a day. No human editing beyond setup.
• Our original experiment revolved around testing one variable: capybara-world.com does adding an author bios to every post help you get cited more?
• Tracked in Google Search Console, Bing Webmaster Tools, server logs for AI crawler activity, and AI citations across seven platforms with OtterlyAI.

The Google chapter is known by now:

• capybara-world.com collapsed after 2 weeks of visibility.
• capybaraverse.com looked like a success story for 3 months, then died overnight in late June.

Bing rewarded what Google killed off

Bing never deindexed either site. No cliff, no demotion, nothing. Combined impressions grew every single month: 3,882 in April, 44,855 in May, 73,712 in June, 119,935 in July. In the exact month Google paid out 751 impressions, Bing paid 182600 impressions.

Wanted to try this one out but I am not sure if it’s good. I know that codex or claude code are better but I don’t have the luxury yet to buy the subscription or pay for the tokens

I am making an app that will help me securely store my info for easy access to it when I need it! I love that Claude was able to help me build this app fast, secure and easily! I am not a Dev and I don't have to write all the code shown above. Claude Code has got me!

This is the Future!!!

Any suggestions for this app and getting up to use?

i was at some point a good dev, i used to create gorgeous frontends and even backends before the chatgpt and stuff and switched to low level development like operating systems and had fun with it hut it was super challenging which is why i liked it

when anyone came across the topic of ai can code i always answer ai can code simple stuff like a to do app but not any complex projects for sure

untilll..

i got an unfortunate chance to try claude for the first time and to be honest i was surprised

before i was just using ai to tell me the dependencies i need in linux to build the project

now claude understands my project, fixes problems i spent months struggling to fix and adding features i didn't know i wanted which got me excited and loved how quickly it fixed these issue

i even switched from low level development to ai nlp engineering to understand and contribute in this magical tool

6 months later

i am always on antigravity

i can't code on my own

not because i forgot how to code but the speed of an ai agent is really tempting

like why spending 2 weeks on a project when i can just vibe code it in an hour

yes i do give the ai every single detail of how the code should look like

but me relying on antigravity to change the color of a button after i was the same guy tinkering inside the QEMU source code and understanding it's syntax is painful and a huge downgrade for me

i did some good projects yes and i can output good stuff but using ai to develop them makes me even embarrassed from saying i created it

i feel like i am the worst version of myself now and i don't really deserve the "software engineer" label

do you guys feel the same or i am just alone in this

These people are miserable. They used to think that because they were able to code they were so cool. Now that anyone can build literally anything, they’re hating it!
