Front-end dev by day, vibe coder by night — building an AI sidekick for GMs

Hey everyone! I m a front-end engineer by day and a vibe coder by night which basically means politely arguing with AI until it makes something halfway useful.

My current late-night obsession is a tool for tabletop GMs. It started because I was running D&D for my kids and neighbors and got tired of pulling story hooks, NPCs, and plot twists out of thin air every week. So I glued my front-end skills to some AI magic and built an app that helps GMs spin up campaign content fast so we can all spend more time actually playing and less time doom-prepping alone at 1am.

What was the very first project you vibecoded with AI?

On Product Hunt, I can see many people launching their products using "vibe-coding tools" like @Lovable , @bolt.new , or@Replit

I reckon many people who created something with them are usually developers who didn't have enough time for building a side idea before, but with AI, they could make it happen.
