My game is live in the app store!

Did a post before but I had to change the name of the app as it clashed with another. But my vibe coded app is now available to play.

https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/drawn-to-orbit/id6785085021

I welcome all feedback and criticisms ❤️

As mentioned before, this was created using a mix of codex and claude code. They compliment each other greatly so you have two models to review each other’s code 😂

I started this maybe a month or so ago, so didn’t take too long in retrospect. I’m no master at using AI, but main tip is to explain to it exactly how you want something implemented. So it does require you to research and be a bit knowledgeable about what you’re doing, but I find that the results are much better than if you were just to give it a generic prompt to create/add something. What’s better is to fully describe say a mechanic you want it to add from how it works to maybe make even edges cases and how it should behave in such scenarios.

I used a mix of vibe coding, brute force and spite to build my first app

A friend of mine challenged me to build an app and while I know some programming, my skills mainly lie in data analysis and logic.

The debugging ended up being a lot quicker with Claude than it would’ve been on my own.

Fast forward, I built an app that I use all the time for overall wellness and had some fun playing around with the logic and integrating features I’ve always wanted to get from a few different apps. It’s called Eight Gates (@EightGatesApp) and I’d love it if people download it, have fun, challenge your friends and share the fun times and badges!

PS, I have some city based timed marketing in the app so if you’re in the right city around the world at the right time, you might get some app exclusive discounts to your favorite stores!

I vibe coded Tugboat — an embeddable beta-feedback widget (screenshots, screen recording w/ voice, session replay).

Everyone's vibe coding something but not many are thinking about how they'll actually hear from the people using it. So I went back to basics and built a simple way for builders to capture feedback from their end users. I made it free for most projects, hoping it helps forward the cause.

Tugboat is a drop-in feedback button for new apps. You paste one `<script>` tag, and your testers get a floating button that captures screenshots, screen recordings (with mic narration), voice notes, and/or text. It's all automatically bundled with console logs, network errors, and a full session replay of what the user was doing. It all lands in a dashboard where you triage it or push it to Jira. I also include a changelog in the widget for curious users who want to track updates.

Basically: the messy "hey the thing is broken" DM from a tester now turned into a structured bug report with everything a dev needs to reproduce it. I build and ship often and now I include Tugboat in all my projects to gather feedback from early users.

The stack / tools:

- Frontend: React + Tailwind + shadcn/ui. Simple brutal design system

- Backend: FastAPI (Python) + MongoDB.

- The widget itself: pure vanilla JS, no framework.

- Session replay: [rrweb](https://github.com/rrweb-io/rrweb).

- Storage: object storage for media. Email Notifications: Resend. Payments: Stripe. Auth: JWT + Google OAuth.

Build insights-

  1. The widget had to be framework free. It gets injected into someone else's site, so it can't assume React exists or clobber their globals. It's ~1,000 lines of vanilla JS that builds its own shadow-ish DOM, scopes all styles under one root ID, and reads config from a `data-project-key` attribute. Discipline over convenience.
  2. Session replay is DOM events, not video. rrweb records DOM mutations + input as structured JSON, so a full replay is ~2–3MB instead of a 50–200MB screen video. That one detail is the difference between "this scales" and "this bankrupts me on storage."
  3. A non-technical lesson: I almost kept adding features forever. The honest realization was that a deployed, working product doesn't need more features it needs its first users. So I'm shipping and letting demand pull the roadmap.

Happy to go deeper on any of these. Would appreciate any feedback.

Vibe coded an app to help me with my depression. (Not in App Store)

I know this already exists probably better. But I wanted to test my own vibe coding skills plus, im tired of therapists not giving me tools to help. So I created my own journaling app, that helps you reframe your thoughts and track them. Then you can look at your first thought and flip it over to your reframed thought. Not for sale and probably never will be because scary lol. Just wondering what you all think though.

Edit: I’ve fixed markdown. I’ve fixed the ability to see historic notes not just today. A bug limitation of V1. I’ve also added voice note transcription, that way you can just talk into it! Pretty neat. I’m wondering if this is something that could be shipped for like 2.99$ a month (to cover api)

Claude Code made me code fast, but announcements still take ages, so I built Shipnote to save myself hours.

Shipnote - turn every commit into an announcement

Connect your repository (read-only, always), and for every release it reads your commits and pull requests, separates customer-facing changes from internal plumbing, and drafts everything for you: changelogs, release notes, plain-English summaries, Discord posts, emails, X posts, blog posts, whatever you need. Everything is editable, you choose where it gets published, and it can even generate drafts automatically on every push.

Full disclosure: I'm the solo developer, so yes, this is a shameless self-plug. But it genuinely came from my own AI coding workflow, and I'd rather get honest feedback than a pile of empty upvotes.

There's a free trial with no credit card required if you want to point it at a real repository and see what it produces. And if the output is rubbish for your project, I genuinely want to know.

A guy made a vibe-coded app that lets you pick up cats from street like Pokémon

A new game called CatchCat turns the real cats on your street into collectible cards. You point your phone at any cat, snap a photo, and on-device AI detects it, reads its breed, and assigns a rarity from common to legendary, all without uploading anything to a server.

It was built by German developer Sebastian Seidel as his second app, and demand has already outpaced the servers. The interesting part is that one developer shipped a full camera game with real-time detection and a shared map, the kind of product that once needed a studio.

[Self-Promotion] I built a clean IPTV player for iPhone/iPad — bring your own playlist, no content included (solo dev, would love feedback)

Hey r/Appstore,

I'm the solo developer behind Timonation IPTV, and I wanted to share it here because this community is exactly who I built it for. You bring your own M3U URL/file or Xtream Codes login (Stalker/Ministra portals too) and the app plays it. I don't host, sell, or bundle any streams, it's just a player. There's a free tier and a one-time lifetime Pro unlock (no subscription).

What it does:

  • Live TV, catch-up, and VOD (movies & series) with resume
  • Full EPG / program guide with time-shift
  • Favorites, multiple profiles, and parental controls (PIN-locked groups)
  • iCloud sync so your playlists/favorites follow you across devices
  • Recording + picture-in-picture, widgets, and Live Activity / Dynamic Island
  • Built on VLCKit, so it plays the formats other players choke on
  • 7 languages

I'd genuinely love feedback from people who run real playlists: what works, what breaks, what's missing. Happy to answer anything about the app or the build.

I spent months building a free Windows AI app with an AI council system — no subscription, no account, no data leaving your machine

Been building this for a while and finally put out a first release. Not going to oversell it, just going to describe what it actually does.

The core idea came from being tired of AI tools that give you one confident answer and leave you to figure out if it's right. So I built something where the output you see has already been challenged internally before it reaches you. Not the same model second-guessing itself. A genuinely separate process with a different job, specifically designed to find problems with what was just produced.

There are two sides to the app.

The first is a council mode where you load local AI models and assign them different roles. One role breaks down your task and makes a plan. Another executes against that plan. A third receives both the plan and the result and checks one against the other. For coding tasks it actually runs the code before the reviewer sees it, so problems get caught by execution rather than by a model guessing whether it looks correct. If problems are found it either patches the specific issues or rewrites entirely depending on how bad it is. What you get at the end has been through all of that.

It also has session memory that builds up as you work, a document pipeline that processes files into structured knowledge before you start asking questions, task history, a diff view showing exactly what changed between the original output and any revision, and confidence labels on every result.

The second is a normal chat mode that runs Python, JavaScript, C#, Java and PowerShell inline and shows execution results inside the conversation. Web search with full page content extraction, LaTeX math rendering, a thinking mode, document attachment, and chat branching where you can fork from any point in the conversation.

Both modes run locally on your machine using GGUF models. If you don't want to manage model files there is a cloud mode through OpenRouter using their free models, same full pipeline, no local setup needed.

No account. No signup. No subscription. Open the app and use it.

Build App with Vibe code is easy, but how do know if App is useful for others?

Hey everyone,

I vibe code few apps during free time, but always wondering how can we monetize it? I found it is extremely hard to get some real reviews, like we can't even let enough impression on the apps we build, not to mention figuring out how app is useful for others. Any tips you can share? or do you feel the same trouble?

Vibe coded a TV remote control app for android and need help testing

Hello friends!

I've released a claude-assisted TV remote app for android and it's tough to get testers across a variety of phones, TVs, boxes, etc so any help you can provide would sure be appreciated. Fwiw I do think it has potential to be a very good free ad-free tv remote app. Any and all feedback welcome, thanks for any you provide

I've used Claude Code CLI and occasionally Codex to code with Gemini writing some design docs and more detailed prompts, tested on device (Pixel 9), and used Gemini for marketing materials/store content.

There are a ton of custom button types and you can use one for free (and change it as many times as you like). For unlimited custom buttons there's a charge which may or may not be the right way to do it please let me know what you think

Play store ->

I also plan to release on iOS fwiw

Tokochi a digital pet that grows as build with Codex and consume tokens.

I’m building Tokochi, a virtual pet for AI-native developers.

It grows from real coding-agent activity from your Codex activity. Not manual token entry.

The local collector tracks metadata like sessions, estimated tokens, files changed, commands run, and streaks. It does not collect prompts, code, file contents, terminal output, or secrets.

Would devs actually install this, or is it just a fun meme?

I’ve built a co-prompting music app (web)

Checked the rules and it didn’t say one couldn’t post apps. I built this one….its for AI music but it works by letting you collaborate on a prompt and co-create the song together. There’s also a listening page once the song is complete where you design the song cover art together.

It’s beta so feedback welcome.

Note second posting try. Original had a typo which might’ve led people to believe the wrong thing about it.

guys i made a playlist specifically for vibecodding

It turns out that normal lo-fi or synthwave music is not quite suitable for the rhythm and the flow state that we encapsulate ourselves while we vibe code. On the other hand, these grandiose cinematic pieces—packed with pristine, high-quality production, powerful lyrics, and massive orchestration—energize the whole creation process beautifully.

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6X8oTT1IevwBewUEN5jrtW?si=Ru3O7p5PSTqW5ziqO_MLMg

It features incredible tracks from artists like Justin Bieber, Frank Ocean, Post Malone, Charlie Puth, and Sabrina Carpenter, delivering the perfect mix to keep your momentum going.

If you want to emphasize that the tracks are exceptionally high quality, include vocals/lyrics, please save this playlist. Im sure it would defenetely help

I built a platform that turns any idea into a real business in under 10 minutes. It performs market research, analyzes competitors, creates your brand, website, company email, and payment infrastructure, then launches outreach campaigns, LinkedIn content, and Meta ads to start bringing in customers

Leapd.ai turns any idea into a real business. It creates your website, backend, checkout, and payments, launches your Meta ads, email, and LinkedIn campaigns, and optimizes your visibility across ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity, and brings you customers 24/7 on autopilot.

I tried tools like Replit and Lovable before. I constantly found myself typing "do this" and "fix that." Even as a principal engineer, I got stuck more often than I'd expected.

And building the product was only the beginning. I still had to buy a domain, set up hosting, configure payments, create marketing campaigns, set up monitoring, and connect all the pieces needed to actually test an idea.

That's why I built Leapd.

Give it an idea, and in under 10 minutes Leapd turns it into a real business—complete with market research, competitor analysis, a website, company email, payments, and customer acquisition campaigns.

Then it keeps working. Leapd plans the next day's activities, launches growth initiatives, and operates 24/7 to bring in customers while you sleep.

My Tech Stack: Leapd runs a multi-agent system on the latest LLMs - Claude is the main one, with each agent specialized for a job — Agents write and ship real code inside secure E2B sandboxes, deploy live to Vercel, and run on AWS infrastructure. Email goes through Brevo, product analytics through PostHog, and the whole thing reports back daily so you always know what your AI team shipped.

Try it free today.

N38worth - online multiplayer card trading game

Hi All, happy to find this sub, the game i am building is free to play, no intentions of changing that, required to play is a random image under 2mb, this is for your avatar or card face, there are several types of cards and one type are the actual human players that join.

Framework: Next.js 15 (App Router)
Language: TypeScript
Database: Neon Serverless Postgres
ORM: Drizzle ORM
Auth: NextAuth.js v5 (Credentials Provider)
Real-time: Pusher Channels
Image Storage: Vercel Blob
Styling: Tailwind CSS + shadcn/ui
State: Zustand + TanStack Query
Deployment: Vercel

Workflow :

Been using mostly VS Code with Cline and Windsurf Pro, tried many API providers and models but most of the money went to openrouter and opus.

My main tip to those starting is use the 3 steps as much as possible; ASK, PLAN, CODE. Doing this the agent probability of failure is reduced substantially in my experience.

For digital assets creation I mainly use copilot and perplexity, now i have reached a stage where i might focus on the digital assets, user interface and soon convert to android app to attempt the play-store deployment.

Pain and victory over AI. In an attempt to make my own online service, I found a way to save on tokens and keep the code clean.

After trying to make different mobile applications, testing them on my phone, and so on, I still couldn't achieve what I wanted, and in some places I even got confused about the functionality and user scenarios. And I realized that in order to get something of more or less high quality, which you can then work with precisely, and perhaps with pens, you need to set instructions very precisely and limit the agent's imagination. And how do I set the exact instructions if I'm completely zero in mobile development? Well, yes, to ask the AI... but what to ask? In general, there are more questions than answers. At first, I tortured the AI to write me precise instructions indicating all the functionality, etc. that I wanted to see in the application. He did the job I thought he would, he wrote beautifully, a lot, intelligently, I didn't even understand half of it. Then I fed it all to TRAE in the form of promts and instructions and received another variation on the theme of my application.

After several attempts, I decided to look carefully for a tool that would allow me to at least visually design an application, so that based on this visualization I could explain to the AI what I want from it in principle, without paying attention to the technical aspects of the implementation. And it's much more convenient for me to look at the user flow with my eyes, rather than reading the descriptions and keeping everything in mind. I searched for a long time and painfully, but all the time I came across either an all-in-one harvester (for a lot of money), or Obsidian-type text notes, which are also very versatile, but not the same. Yes, there is Figma, and you can do something there: interactive, beautiful presentation to the customer... And then what? In the real world, first TK, then Miro or an analog to spread out the screens and look at the user flow, then design, and only then code, tests, and so on. I even tested their AI in Figma and tried to make a web application (on a free tariff, you can indulge once). On my test, he made a working front and even wrote something to the database, but with jambs, and then repaired the backend himself and merged all the tokens in half an hour without fixing anything. Let Figma remain a tool for design and prototyping, and not a combine harvester, as they are trying to make it now, I'm sorry, it hurts.

After eating all this, I came up with an idea. If something is missing, it must be done. Naturally, I started from the beginning: I just described what I want, how I see it, and how it should work. It was about a web service for generating rules, on the basis of which any model should program as much as possible within the framework, and I will depict what and how to program visually and schematically. In general, the idea is simple: We draw the screen elements on the canvas, connect them with arrows (custom flow) and click the "Export" button. At the output, we get a set of rules for a specific application: a description of screens, elements, and transitions between them. I won't describe exactly how I achieved this, but something worked out, and everything works without using third-party services in the rule generation process. It looks like this:

visual canva of my mobile rules

And in the process of creating it, I stepped on the same rake. Everyone who codes using AI, no matter where: in Trae, Cursor, or through Claude Code, knows the main "secret" of neural networks.: they get incredibly dumb over a long distance. They do a great job with one or two requests at the start (I'm talking about mobile apps, not the web), but as soon as you start to add functionality, that's it. On the tenth day, when the project grows, the AI begins to have "amnesia". You open a new chat, the old one has already run out of context, and the AI begins to reinvent the wheel. She doesn't know what you agreed on yesterday! Finds the first similar piece of code, inserts it there, runs the tests. Everything looks OK. In fact, there are three icon libraries, one huge main file where all the code is piled up, and a lot of small files that solve local problems, but are poorly related to global ones. The usual "write clean code" promptings no longer work. Universal sets of rules from the Internet don't help either. And this applies to any model where something more is being done than a five-page website or a mobile application.

And that's what I did when, after a couple of weeks, the AI started to move away so much, and the code grew so much that there was no trace left of the original agreements and I had to poke my nose at each new session so that he absorbed the project and could continue.

"An ingenious solution." I have rigidly prescribed in the IDE rules that as soon as the model changes something in the code or logic, it immediately writes or updates it in the MVP specification. It really saved my life.: I no longer had to explain the logic of new tasks every time. Yes, it eats up tokens, but as practice has shown, more tokens are consumed on refinements and reading of the entire code as the project grows than on studying brief instructions about the code and mechanics. The model herself ran into the rules, then into the specification, and in 10 seconds she knew the whole project by heart! I implemented the same technique in the rules that are generated for mobile applications, and taking into account the choice of a specific model. So I highly recommend that you create such a file and register this skill. I had an IDE rules file, almost standard, from the Internet, and now it's almost 300 lines of unique instructions, and the most important ones are:

## Specification Maintenance Rule

When product behavior changes, update the specification in the same work cycle.

After every code change that affects runtime behavior, model shape, validator behavior, export output, UI semantics, or catalog choices:

1. immediately check which specification files are affected
2. update those specification files in the same task before considering the work finished
3. do not leave spec follow-up as an optional later cleanup step

Update these three reference files first:

1. `Specification/12_element_reference.md` for element behavior, props, actions and panel nuances
2. `Specification/13_screen_and_modal_reference.md` for screens, modals, connections and flow rules
3. `Specification/14_project_settings_reference.md` for settings, services, permissions and export-sensitive configuration

If the change also affects core runtime contracts, update the matching base files too:

- `Specification/2_model_data.md`
- `Specification/CURRENT_SCOPE.md`
- `Specification/6_ui_and_canvas.md`
- `Specification/catalog/mvp_function_catalog.md`

Do not leave new runtime behavior documented only in code or only in chat history.

Before changing action logic, validation, export-sensitive behavior or panel semantics, re-read the matching reference files first instead of reconstructing rules from memory.## Specification Maintenance Rule

There are plans to do the same for web applications. It seems to me that this will greatly simplify the design of websites: it will be possible, without being distracted by the design, to see all the logic, linking and finding weaknesses, instead of keeping everything in mind. Thanks for your time, good luck to everyone.

My first app submission 100% vibe coded

Fingers crossed it all goes well.

Created my first iOS app and just submitted for it to be reviewed. Quite nervous! But feels like a nice weight lifted off. Used ChatGPT and Claude to review and help each other along the way. Being on the cheapest "paid" subscriptions of both, found a lot of the time switching between the two as I hit my limits for one.

It did feel like being a designer/tech architect and having 2 coders at your disposal, but I found that chatgpt can really spiral down a rabbit hole and give bad responses/solutions.

A tip for those that didnt know, but it was great not losing momentum when I hit my limits of both of them. I then had a fallback of Chatgpt via the web with its github plugin where it can make code changes for you with what felt like an actual unlimited usage (although not as intelligent and way slower process). If you're not taking advantage of that, you should before they decide to pull the plug on that. I would also use it as a mind map through conversation and then tell it to sum things up and "promptify" it to give to either Codex or Claude code. Saved some tokens that way since the planning was already done.

Overall it was a good first project. Hopefully it will take off, but with the amount of content out there, I know its gonna be hard.

The app itself is a game. Will be happy to share it once (or if) it gets approved

I built a free app for distraction, boredom, anxiety and mental fatigue – looking for honest feedback

Hi everyone,

Over the last few months, I've been working on a web app that tries to help when you're feeling mentally tired, distracted, anxious, or simply bored.

The idea is very simple:

You choose the state that best describes how you're feeling at the moment, and the app gives you short challenges, exercises, games, and suggestions tailored to that situation.

No account is required, and everything works directly in the browser on both desktop and mobile.

What I'm most interested in is honest feedback:

  • Is the app useful at all?
  • Which category did you find most interesting?
  • What feels pointless, confusing, or should be improved?

So far, most testers have enjoyed the Distraction and Boredom categories, but I'd love for you to try everything.
