What was the very first project you vibecoded with AI?

The first project was a projection-mapping of giant eyes for an art installation.

Eventually, I vibe-coded a presentation on vibe-coding and told it to go off the rails.

First thing I vibe-coded was ClipScript - a tool that takes YouTube transcripts and actually does something useful with them. Repurpose a video into a blog post, Twitter thread, email, whatever. Started as a quick experiment and ended up being the most useful thing I've built. Check it out if you're sitting on a pile of transcripts going nowhere: producthunt.com/p/clipscript-3

The problem is that current tools weren't made for non technical users....Why? Because the people that built them are VERY technical. Software experts...Why would you expect technical developers to know the hardships of non technical people?

They always talk about how "Easy" their products are, or how "simple..." But in reality what may seem like baby food to them is actually Overcooked steak for average non engineers. It is possible for vibe coding to be for non-technical. It just needs to be something that doesn't have the fancy jargon, but instead words that 5 year olds can understand with technical resolution workflows that even grandma's and grandpa's can use.

I'm non-technical, but built this out for my wife and I to build SaaS products quickly...maybe might launch it one day haha.

P.s. It didn't take 19m tokens for this one app...I've made maybe 12 total apps and that's the toa from all of my projects.

I work with spatial data, GeoJSON, Shapefiles, SQL, and other formats which led me to building a browser tool that converts between them. Including SQL INSERT statements, WKT, and database-ready geometry formats.

Started as a little utility for myself, ended up becoming my first shipped project.

geoflow.studio Actually have had over 1k conversions but no buyers, just going to make it free for anyone to use once I get a minute to update the site.

We have found the most effective way to vibe code is to pair our 12 years experience in technology being surrounded by developers, database analysts, infrastructure experts, QA technicians and to to channel those into the best vibe code prompts to create and deliver a working, safe, efficient product.

We let Claude do the coding because we knew we couldn't, but we made it code the way we needed it to, not let it run free and have no idea how the platform was built. Now we know every part of it from setting up AWS, Render, Supabase, launching Android and iOS apps.

Sure, we couldn't write code, but we've delivered it and I think that's the best way to vibe code!

What started as your side project turned into a real platform?

For me, it was QuLab Infinite.

I'm not a traditional software engineer. I own a tattoo and piercing studio in Las Vegas, but over the last few years I've been using AI, coding assistants, and what people now call "vibe coding" to build increasingly ambitious projects.

What began as small experiments turned into a growing ecosystem of tools focused on research, innovation, simulation, AI collaboration, and rapid prototyping. Every version taught me something new. Every failure became the prompt for the next iteration.

The biggest surprise wasn't that AI could write code.

It was that AI dramatically lowered the distance between an idea and a working prototype.

Today I spend as much time architecting systems, testing workflows, and refining user experiences as I do actually writing code. The skill that became most valuable wasn't programming—it was learning how to communicate clearly with both humans and machines.

I'm curious:

For those of you building with AI, what project started as "just an experiment" and unexpectedly became something much bigger?

And what was the moment you realized you were no longer just playing with AI—you were actually building a product?

Well, I started with somthing that meant a fix for what I do professionally. I Called it Scanright, a document scanner for bookkeppers and accountant, scan Invoices, Reciepts, Bills, and exports a batch to Excel. I needed a way to not have to inputs tons of reciepts manually and AI to the rescue. Launched but not used. Now I have another one Launched here, I am hoping this one a better solutions for app devs and those looking for the next idea to build and problem to solve.

Learn to type faster (vibe coded terminal app) words fall like rain, type them to squash it. the longer you can keep them from falling to the end the more points. you get.

I've tried out various AI tools, my curiosity drives me to try them all. But the one I'm enjoying the most is Cursor :)

The first vibe-coded project for me is: https://makereels.in

I was exploring Kimi code with an older idea for a self-generating content platform. For me, the biggest challenge was to get a good video editor, similar to veed.io, I was surprised to see that Kimi Code was able to get me there in about 3-4 prompts, and most of them were non-technical prompts. Anyway, I have since focused on content quality and cost. Really interesting times. I just recently converted the agentic workflow for video generation into a loop-based workflow, and I'm trying to perfect it.

I am still building this product and would love your feedback on the platform! There are 300 free credits for new sign-ups, and I'm happy to shower some extra free credits if you reach out to me with your email ID.

Here's a snapshot of the video editor:
