Hi PH Community 👋 I’m Kris, aerospace engineer turned product maker. The way we think about sleep needs to change. With a desire for flexibility becoming the norm, when we wake up is less important than how we wake up. That’s why I built Ebbra: Sleep Tracker. Why I built this: I've always been a poor sleeper. I would wake up a lot. I overthink at night which would stop me falling to sleep. When...

Why did I build this? AI has massively helped me as a part-time developer. I can finally bring ideas to life without years of learning syntax. But here's what nobody talks about: when your MVP breaks (and it will), you're stuck. I'd stare at error messages feeling completely helpless. I realized the issue wasn't that 'vibe coding' is bad, it's amazing technology. The problem is we're not...

Vibe Coach turns copying code from a vibe coding crutch into a learning superpower. A chrome extension that quizzes you before copying AI-generated code, then encourages writing it yourself. Every copy becomes a learning win, building coding confidence.

I've heard this a lot recently moving away from Claude to Codex. I've given it a go and I think Codex needs 'less' input to get something I'd consider working, but the overall rules are still the same. Personally, I'm sticking with Claude for the project spaces I've built up. The key things for me with any AI tool writing code: I always set the parameters at the start of the conversation very...

Looking for feedback: Chrome extension that teaches you while you vibe code

Hey Product Hunt community! I've been coding for a while and noticed a pattern in start up and side project threads... Vibe coding can build MVPs quickly, but when something breaks, you get completely stuck. This means a lot of people get technical founders or software engineers to help them out. Not enough people talk about the other solution, which is non-technical founders learning the...

General boundary conditions and prompt helper - Chat GPT (Free) Gritty code - Claude Pro ($20), can't be wasting the 5 hour restrictions getting the prompt correct!

Is anyone else dropping $$$ on vibe coding tools, or am I just burning cash?

I think we've all been there! Especially with the tools available now, learning to programme is more approachable than ever. There is a fine line between persevering on your own project, and pivoting to a new idea if the users aren't coming. I think that line moves for everyone (Typically closer to perseverance on your first project). What marketing methods have you pursued, how have you got it...

Say hello to Ebbra: Sleep Tracker, allowing you to get your chosen amount of sleep, every time

Hi all, I'll be officially launch Ebbra: Sleep Tracker in about a month! I think the way we think about sleep needs to change. With a desire for flexibility becoming the norm, when we wake up is less important than how we wake up. That’s why I built Ebbra: Sleep Tracker. What is special about Ebbra: Sleep Tracker? Ebbra allows you to get your chosen sleep time, every time. ⏱️ Smart sleep timer -...

I think with vibe coding it's often overlooked the positive impact AI has had to those with programming experience. Trying to learn and implement new features just released into tool kits used to take me significantly longer, reading technical documentation, finding stack over flow posts... Where as now, I find I can implement new features and fundamentally understand the plug in a lot quicker....

Hi Azvya, I recently did a quick survey for online validation. A few things I learned: I leaned heavily on forums like Reddit and Discord, particularly the threads in the particular Health Tech area I was interested in. That got some quality responses, but maybe lacked quantity. I found the type of questions I was asking helped me separate the quality responses and potential users. Instead of...
As a founder, surveys are easy to build, but how do you get quality responses?

Hi all, I'm Kris. Traded a safe aerospace job for indie freedom (with a splash of Startup anxiety?)

After 7 years of systems work within aerospace and renewable energy industries, I've seen first hand how slow big industry can move. So I started tinkering with code in my evenings and weekends to solve my own annoying problems. Turns out, building software uses a lot of the same skills as solving engineering problems, but you can actually see your solutions come to life without waiting 3-5...
