Recursi - Self improving vibe coding env with no API fees

by•
An extremely powerful environment for vibe coding, allowing you to use web based chatbots (Claude/Gemini via aistudio/ChatGPT, etc) extremely efficiently while staying firmly in their terms of service. A whole lot of apps are provided as samples / templates, including a YouTube playlist app that not only allows a great YouTube experience without ads (also within terms of service!), but "Guitar Hero for piano" that works with a MIDI piano. So much more.

I've been refining this since ChatGPT first came out, just to streamline coding using the web interface. But at some point last year, it suddenly reached a "recursive self improvement" state where it made huge leaps forward. It was almost scary. I've been trying to add all the right elements to make it a great environment for kids, newbies to coding, teachers, creatives..... everyone. I think it is there. Check out the video on the site, it's long, but flip around in it if you need to. Lots of cool visuals, music stuff, etc.

Does it retain what it learned about your codebase or does each session start fresh?

The "no API fees" framing is interesting but the part I'd want to understand is what's actually happening under the hood. Are you running models locally, routing through your own hosted inference, or something else? That changes the tradeoff pretty significantly, especially for anything compute-heavy. Also curious what "self-improving" means concretely here, whether the environment is updating prompts and context based on your past sessions, or if it's something closer to fine-tuning on your codebase over time.

I like that you're thinking abt beginners and kinds, not only experienced coders. That changes the product a lot. Does Recursi guide people toward a first small project or is it better for users who already know what they want to build?
