I learned about a week ago that Unity supports mcp so I downloaded it for the first time and started vibecoding this game project.
It’s mind blowing how AI tools enable ppl with almost zero game dev experience to build something like this in a week.
Stacks: Claude code, Unity, Meshy (3d models), Elevenlabs (sound fx), Nano banana 2 and some paid assets from Unity Asset Store.
Hi everyone,
I’m honestly a little nervous posting this, so please bear with me.
Over some evenings and weekends I built BabyPhone.online — a free web app that turns two devices (old phones, tablets, whatever you have lying around) into a baby monitor. One becomes the “baby unit,” the other the “parent unit,” you connect them with a short room code or QR, and after that the video and audio go directly between the two devices in the browser — no app to install, no account, and nothing gets stored on a server.
Its ment to work with all browsers, OS systems and devices.
I’m not a professional designer, and it’s just me working on this in my spare time, so I’m very aware there are probably things that don’t make sense yet or could be a lot better. I’d genuinely appreciate it if a few of you could take a quick look and tell me:
• Does the setup (room code / QR) feel clear on the first try, or is any part confusing?
• Would you feel comfortable actually trusting this with your own baby?
• Is there anything about the privacy or security side that would worry you?
• Anything that feels missing, unnecessary, or just off?
Please don’t hold back to spare my feelings — I’d honestly rather hear the hard truths now than find out later. Thank you to anyone who takes the time, it really does mean a lot.
Been a few weeks working on this, majority of it was done in like 10 days, but then life, and bugs needed fixed and feature creep, and everything. Either try it out or not, I needed something specific that I had more control over for my other projects, so now this exists.
Ok so, I can’t retire just yet 😅 but getting a business off the ground and attracting customers is the hardest part in my opinion.
There’s still a long way to go but considering it’s only been 4 months since launching ZenMode, I’m pretty happy with the results so far.
I get asked a lot about how I get customers, so thought I’d give more info on how I do distribution, in case you might find it useful.
1. Make sure your website is set up for success
Before sending people to your site, make sure you’re confident it has good CRO potential. Your mission statement and objective needs to be very clear, along with clear incentives for people to try the product out.
2. Offer free trials, but only behind a payment info gate
Now this is just my personal opinion, and I know a lot of people disagree, but the proof is in the numbers. I get fewer free trial signups, but significantly higher conversion rates into paying users from people who provide payment info at the start.
Yes, a few of them are people who simply forget to cancel, but mostly I get people who are more engaged in the free trial and actually using the product.
I actually did an AB experiment where I did offer completely free trials to people (no payment info needed), but the overwhelming result was that people barely even tried out the product and were mostly tire kickers that never came back. I did convert some but not a meaningful number.
3. Create a waitlist before launching
Try to generate interest in your product before it launches - build in public and try to ensure that you’re not scrambling to get customers through the door on day 1 when you launch.
I had 3 customers on day 1 from this, who took higher paid tiers as well.
4. Post and comment everywhere
Social media is free, so there’s no excuse not to leverage it. Post about your product and what you’re building on Reddit, LinkedIn, X, YouTube, Facebook etc.
I posted a simple screenshot on LinkedIn recently, of someone using a low quality LinkedIn automation tool message to contact me, and me offering my own much better tool in response, and that post generated 90,000 views and led to several signups and demo calls.
I’ve also had some posts on Reddit go into hundreds of thousands of views, mostly just posting about what/why/how I built my automation tool.
5. If you have competitors, make “alternative to” inner pages
If done in the right way, this type of inner page can be useful for SEO. It won’t be picked up automatically but usually if you work in a competitive industry, this will sometimes attract customers who had a bad experience elsewhere.
6. I actually use my own LinkedIn automation tool (dogfooding) to do LinkedIn outreach
So it’s always important to practice what you preach - I use ZenMode to actually promote ZenMode.
It’s a great way to get buy-in for booking demos, as when someone replies, I simply tell them I used my tool to get a response from them, so it works.
Anyway hope you enjoyed reading the above, and good luck on your journey if you’re building anything, or growing your business 🙌
I have had many interviews in my 25 years as a software dev and a few of them were managers only and never even asked me anything technical. So I imagine some vibe coders have pulled it off getting an interview and showing what they created and managing to never talk about code and they just assume the person knows code. Then they see how long they can fake it (or not fake it since if they get the work done who cares)
On a related note.. As a .NET dev I always apply to only .NET jobs but there really is no reason anymore I can't get a java job and understand the general idea and have AI do the technical work.
I’m going to start vibecoding a stock trading app geared towards Gen Z/Gen Alpha that makes stock trading as entertaining as gambling.
Too many kids are becoming addicted to gambling trying to make quick cash. I thought with the right API & UI kids (18+) will be more inclined to trading stocks instead of their minimum wages against rigged casino odds.
PvP Matches utilizing penny stock shares going up to full priced stocks will also be setup on the app.
For those who would like to follow along I will be replying to this thread and/or be making posts on this subreddit.
- Happy Coding

I am just thinking: now that agents basically create over 99% of all the code I need, what does an IDE in 2026/2027 actually need to deliver? For me it would be a simple yet powerful visual diff to review changes and give feedback. Preferred locally instead of github / gitlab or whatever you use. Maybe a simple way to merge pull requests. But then: Is there actually much more that you would need in the future when agents write all the code?
I’m planning a mobile app for people who play amateur football.
The app would include things like:
The UX/UI design and the entire user flow are already fully planned out, so I’m not starting from just an idea. I already know how the screens, flows, roles, and main features should work.
I’m not a developer, but I’m willing to spend time learning and build it step by step using tools like Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, etc.
Do you think an app at this level is realistically possible to build solo with vibe coding?
At what level of complexity does vibe coding usually start becoming difficult to manage?
Would love to hear from people who have actually built and launched something similar.
Hey All,
I'm the creator of r/vibecodingcommunity, i have shared this in my community and got lot of interesting comments so sharing it here as well.
for context - I've been involved in the vibecoding scene both online and offline - hosting dozens of hackathons and joining many events.
Here's my two cents on where the money is and the current state of vibecoding, from my lens (unfiltered).
Around 70% of vibe-coded app builds are not serious business apps. They're fun games or personal software. Some try to build a product, but it dies almost as quickly as it's built - no distribution strategy, tokens burned in the process.
Vibecoding has significantly lowered the barrier to entry, so more and more personalized software has emerged. The next ~25% are internal apps - meant to replace software you already pay for, automate a workflow, or run an agency.
These are pretty much built by people who know one area of tech and use AI to compensate in the others. For example: a data scientist building a mobile app, or a front-end developer building a backend.
This remaining 5% is the interesting part - because that's where the money is. These are people who already have a relationship with a business, or with internal players and vendors. They use vibecoding as a tool to pitch an idea, get traction or a contract, and then build.
Previously these people pitched on PowerPoint. Now that's been replaced by a simple vibe-coded app that demonstrates the idea.
A few real examples from just the last couple of weeks:
All I'm trying to say is this: on the community you see people building a lot of software and tools. A real software developer quickly clocks that these are vibe-coded apps - not much taste, questionable software quality, often useless. And that's true.
But the real money is not where you can see it. The real money is inside businesses, and it's often being put to work by people who already have the network and the connections to make it count.
hello,
Right now, I'm using Fable 5 at the medium thinking level as my architect and auditor (through the OpenCode IDE), and GPT Terra at xhigh as my coding agent (through the ChatGPT desktop app).
I'm using both agents through GitHub Copilot (yes, I'm using the Startup Program credits , the "$10k" 😅), but I'm getting pretty close to burning through the credits. I have only $5k left, and I want to choose another good agent to use as my architect and auditor.
My SaaS business is pretty strict, every error in this business can result in a penalty (chargeback) for the user.
Thanks!
I keep seeing posts like "I vibecoded this over the weekend, got 100k users, what's next?" and I think it gives a pretty wrong idea of what vibecoding actually changes.
Sure, you can accidentally hit the top with another clock app. It happens.
But agents dont remove the actual work. You still need to figure out what to build, make 1000 small decisions, fix weird shit, make UX not suck, deploy, maintain, listen to users and actually ship something they want.
Vibecoding makes all of this faster. A LOT faster. But not easier at all.
You can now build faster, but also make mistakes faster and ship garbage faster. The bottleneck just moves somewhere else. There was a good line somewhere "Shipping everyday fixing Claude bugs".
Those "built in 2 days, 100k users lol" posts undermine all the work that still goes into a good product, and leave others thinking this is all somehow easy now. From outside it starts looking like vibecoders are just some arrogant assholes hitting a button and getting success by click. It doesn't work well on the how other people feel about vibecoders and vibecoding in general, which is in fact just a right way to do things today.
We don't build in assembly anymore, right? Same here.
I’ve been testing the SEO Autopilot skill from AgentKit Works on my micro-SaaS.
Honestly, I didn’t expect much at first.
After implementing it and letting it handle the repetitive SEO work, I started seeing organic traffic turn into actual sales.
I’m now at 40+ sales from organic traffic.
The part I liked most is that I didn’t have to constantly sit there researching keywords, planning content, fixing internal links, and checking everything manually.
If you’re building a micro-SaaS and struggling to get organic traffic, this is worth checking out:

Curious if anyone else here is using AI agents for SEO instead of traditional SEO tools.
Last college football season my family did this little pick’em thing. Three picks a week, ten bucks to join, winner takes all. We ran it on a Google Sheet and it was fun at first, but as more people joined it turned into a headache. I was updating stuff by hand, people were messing with cells, and it just got messy.
So this offseason I decided to try building something to fix it. I had zero experience. I didn’t even know what a DNS record was. Didn’t know what a terminal was. I’ve learned a ton and honestly had a blast building this.
I made a simple football pick’em site called Pikpool.com. Not trying to monetize it or anything right now. I mainly want to use it for friends and family and just get better at building stuff.
Here’s how I built it so I follow the rules here.
I used Supabase for the database and auth.
I used Cloudflare for the domain and hosting setup.
I used Claude Code for pretty much everything else. It helped me write the code, fix stuff I broke, explain things I didn’t understand, and keep me moving forward.
Oh and I'm using free odds api.
My workflow was basically me asking Claude Code how to do something, trying it, breaking it, asking again, and eventually getting it to work. I kept it simple. Groups, weekly picks, standings.
I’m brand new to all this and just want some nice, honest feedback. Tips, tricks, stuff I’m missing, better ways to structure things. Anything helps.
Appreciate anyone who checks it out and gives me something to improve on.
EDIT: I changed it so you do not need to create an account to check it out! Please check out Pikpool.com and let me know what you think!
Several years ago I started making a python game called Dimension Creatures. I just wanted a basic creature battler that would let players use strategy and win fights, or lose their creature forever.
I envisioned it as a simpler, but more brutal version of Pokemon.
Recently I got Claude Pro so I could actually get a lot of usage.
I used my long built skills as an MS Paint "Artist"
I used my long built skills as an Audacity "Sound Designer"
And my favorite skill of balancing game play mechanics to make something that is challenging and satisfying.
Finally I have something I'm ready to show the world:
Dimension Creatures
The online version!!

you can play for free in browser if you want
10000 million tokens spent later...
Claude: You are right. I'm sorry. I was focusing on the wrong solution to fix the bug. 🤣🤣🤣
So i am been using claude for developing my product, and i sometimes see posts on reddit or X saying it is not worth it to use Claude, and i have switch to Codex. But i am worried now about not developing a good product because i am using a bad AI tool to build it.
So here i am, asking my fellow Vibe coders for advice about this confusion that i have in my head
You can only choose one of Claude, Codex or Cursor, what would you choose and why?
Imo cursor is just superior
