I am genuinely in the "target market" for a tool such as this, but having evaluated one previously I found the quality and self-hosting experience to be pretty bad, and that a proprietary freemium product was still a better experience.
I'm hesitant to even take a look at this project due to the whole "vibe coded in 3 weeks" thing, though. Hearing that says to me that this is not serious or battle-tested and might go unmaintained or such. Do you think these are valid concerns to have?

We're entering an era where the delivering of software is cheap. Basically any idea can have an MVP implemented by one or two people in just a month or two now. Very quickly the industry is learning what the next set of bottlenecks are, now that the bottleneck is no longer writing code.
Planning, design, management alignment, finding customers, integrating with other products, waiting for review, etc. Basically all the human stuff that can't be automated away.
Your comment reminds me to add building a support team to the list.

I agree, software (software startups) has always been the golden child of investors because of how cheap it is compared to hardware or any other physical good.
Good software is expensive regardless of the involvement of LLMs because you need someone to take responsibility. Large companies will save a buck because there may be fewer people needed to take said responsibility, but it's probably a marginal saving compared to the overall scheme of things.

I see your point.
Last time I “vibe coded” something (internal) and I liked it because I couldn’t find external solution.
I admire coders who can finish their code into deliverable and usable piece.
Issue here is software abundance and ppl will start to hesitate due to absurd pile that they should evaluate.
It reminds me the statistics of ice cream global sales. People want certainty so they choose chocolate or vanilla :)
Therefore many good software projects will have a problem to find users.

i think we need to encode (or refine) what we mean by “vibe code.” my original impression was that it was used to describe the process whereby someone with an idea but lacking development/engineering skills leveraged llm via an agent to create the mechanics to bring their idea to fruition. anymore it seems like if it has the hint of AI then it’s “vibe coded.”
ironically, i didn’t read the article because i come to comments now to see if its been identified as AI slop, so i don’t know which area this falls into
dghlsakjg5 hours ago
Definitely. The original vibe coding tweet is pretty explicit about “forgetting the code exists”, and “throwaway weekend projects” (https://x.com/karpathy/status/1886192184808149383)
Now however, many people just use it to mean any ai-assisted coding.
One person says “vibe coding” to mean a throwaway script to scrape some page. Others use it to mean a code reviewed app built by a team using Claude.
It is so broad as to be meaningless at this point

I agree. It's not like this project is disrupting an overpriced product/SaaS.
E.g. Buffer charges around $50 per year per social media account, which gives you an unlimited number of collaborating user accounts. And their single user plans are even cheaper.
I don't see how self-hosting would be a worthy investment of your time/effort in this case, unless you are in some grossly mismanaged organization where you have several devops engineers paid for doing literally nothing.
bryanhogan5 hours ago
$50 is a high price to ask, no? And I just looked it up, it's actually even more than that.
Consider having an account for each common social media platform, then multiply that for every project, that grows quickly.
m0003 hours ago
You are right. My memory failed me there. I should have done a quick lookup for the pricing.
It's $120/year/account for multi-user setup, and $60/year/account for single-user.
Which is still dirt cheap if you use social media professionally. E.g. what would $360 buy you if you try to do self-hosting? Maybe a day of work from a devops engineer to get this deployed for you?

The era of sharing some small programs that you made with others to benefit from is over imo.
You can just vibe code it yourself. If your requirements are narrower (eg. you only need support for 3 networks and not 12), you will end up with something that takes less time to develop (possibly less than a day), it will have a smaller surface for problems, and it will be much better tailored to your specific needs. If you pay attention to what the LLM is doing it will also be easier to maintain or extend further.
The surface for security vulnerabilities also gets narrower, since you "only" have to trust the LLM (which is still a huge ask, but still better than LLM + 1 random person).

+1.
The password manager I use full time now is “Kenpass”, which has exactly one user: me. I have it on iOS/macOS/Linux, browser extensions, CLI and (native, no electron) UI for each, syncs with my homelab server over my wireguard tunnel, and it covers all my use cases. Took me maybe a week (a few hours total, spread around.) I feel no reason to share it with anyone, it does exactly what I need and I only need to fix the bugs I find, for myself.
We’re really living in crazy times.
> If you pay attention to what the LLM is doing it will also be easier to maintain or extend further
That's another nice part: I actually really enjoy feng-shui refactoring code to fit my tastes, and I've given the LLM's code a bunch of refactoring passes essentially "just for fun". I understand the codebase enough that sometimes I implement features myself instead of having the LLM do it, if I'm in the mood to. But I'd probably never have the time or energy to start such a project from scratch... having the initial MVP done in essentially one shot was a huge boost.

A few hours including iOS? Don't you need to go through lots of hoops even if it's only for personal use? Isn't it time-limited or something?
ninkendo2 hours ago
It does require a developer account at $100 a year, yes. But that's it: Once you have that, the app is not time-limited or anything. I can just install it to my device (wirelessly) via Xcode and I'm done.
It's probably only worth the $100/year if there are other apps you want to make for yourself though. I have other ideas for apps for my family, so I figured it's worth the cost. It sucks that I have to pay at all though, I admit.
deaux2 hours ago
That's interesting - I thought apps that didn't go through the App Store but were in "developer mode" were time-limited, but maybe I confused it with "share with family" rather than pure personal solo use.
Sounds like you wrote it in Swift(?), did it also do a good job at the autofill code? That's what I'd expect it to potentially struggle at, as it could be a rare and particularly native feature. But then the APIs should be well standardized for iOS.
Very cool and inspiring stuff!
ninkendo2 hours ago
The autofill code is actually Safari's, not the password manager. The password manager basically just needs to impmlement ASCredentialProviderViewController (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/authenticationserv...) and include the "AutoFill Credential Provider" entitlement and safari will ask if you want to sign in with Kenpass for websites and apps.
For firefox (desktop) it's a bit harder, you have to actually implement login box detection. It works like half the time, but I don't really mind much, because it's not a huge deal to just use the clipboard. Even when using 1Password I would so often find that the password autofill was so broken (or would constantly offer me to save passwords I don't want to, or for things that aren't even login boxes) that I actually actively hated it. When creating logins, I much prefer taking an explicit step to activate my password manager to do so, and when prompting for logging in, it's not a huge deal to simply copy/paste when the simple detection doesn't work.

I think the same way, I'd love a social media management tool, all of the ones I found were insanely expensive or not usable / had horrible usability issues.

I think our industry really needs to get on top of terms / names and fast. To me, “vibe coded” means “100% (or close to it) of this was written by LLM and I do not have a slightest clue about technology or hacking or anything related to this domain.” if this is the case here (or anywhere else) I am not touching it with a 10-foot pole (even with honesty of the author). something like “LLM assisted” would be a whole other thing.
TrackerFF4 hours ago
To me "vibe coding" is like Karpathy wrote in that tweet: You completely surrender to the model, accept everything, never look at the changes in code. Only feed prompts and check the resulting product.
But, of course, that's not how most programmers use - at least I'd like to think. One thing is when people with zero programming knowledge vibe code something in that fashion, but for serious (read: big) products I'd like to think that you're still forced to do some book keeping.

I wanted to test how far AI coding tools could take a production project. Not a prototype. A social media management platform with 12 first-party API integrations, multi-tenant auth, encrypted credential storage, background job processing, approval workflows, and a unified inbox. The scope would normally keep a solo developer busy for the better part of a year. I shipped it in 3 weeks.
Before writing any code, I spent time on detailed specs, an architecture doc, and a style guide. All public: https://github.com/brightbeanxyz/brightbean-studio/tree/main...
I broke the specs into tasks that could run in parallel across multiple agents versus tasks with dependencies that had to merge first. This planning step was the whole game. Without it, the agents produce a mess.
I used Opus 4.6 (Claude Code) for planning and building the first pass of backend and UI. Opus holds large context better and makes architectural decisions across files more reliably. Then I used Codex 5.3 to challenge every implementation, surface security issues, and catch bugs. Token spend was roughly even between the two.
Where AI coding worked well: Django models, views, serializers, standard CRUD. Provider modules for well-documented APIs like Facebook and LinkedIn. Tailwind layouts and HTMX interactions. Test generation. Cross-file refactoring, where Opus was particularly good at cascading changes across models, views, and templates when I restructured the permission system.
Where it fell apart: TikTok's Content Posting API has poor docs and an unusual two-step upload flow. Both tools generated wrong code confidently, over and over. Multi-tenant permission logic produced code that worked for a single workspace but leaked data across tenants in multi-workspace setups. These bugs passed tests, which is what made them dangerous. OAuth edge cases like token refresh, revoked permissions, and platform-specific error codes all needed manual work. Happy path was fine, defensive code was not. Background task orchestration (retry logic, rate-limit backoff, error handling) also required writing by hand.
One thing I underestimated: Without dedicated UI designs, getting a consistent UX was brutal. All the functionality was there, but screens were unintuitive and some flows weren't reachable through the UI at all. 80% of features worked in 20% of the time. The remaining 80% went to polish and making the experience actually usable.
The project is open source under AGPL-3.0. 12 platform integrations, all first-party APIs. Django 5.x + HTMX + Alpine.js + Tailwind CSS 4 + PostgreSQL. No Redis. Docker Compose deploy, 4 containers.
Ask me anything about the spec-driven approach, platform API quirks, or how I split work between the two models.

How much of the specs themselves came from the LLM? The development schedule https://github.com/brightbeanxyz/brightbean-studio/blob/main... has very AI-looking estimates for exampl and I can see a commit in the architecture.md file which is exclusively changing em-dashes to normal dashes (https://github.com/brightbeanxyz/brightbean-studio/commit/74...) which suggests you wanted to make it seem less LLM-generated?
I ask, not to condemn, but to find out what your process was for developing the requirements. Clearly it was done with LLM help but what was the refinement process?
JanSchuop7 hours ago
The spec document was also written by Claude (over many iteration) and lots of manual additions. It took me tho 4 full days to get the specs to the level I was happy with.
One main thing I did was to use the deep research feature of Claude to get a good understanding of what other tools are offering (features, integrations etc.)
Then each feature in the specs document got refined with manual suggestions and screenshots of other tools that I took.

When I click on history there I see only a single commit for these docs. Would you be willing to share some or all of the conversation you had with the LLM (in a gist or in the repo) that led to these architecture docs? Understand if you can't, but I'm sure it would be super instructive for people trying to understand the process of doing something like this and the types of guide rails that help to move the process forward productively.

I built something very, very similar for a client to post their content on schedule to about 9 different social networks. It was my first major vibe-coded app -- I normally vibe-code a function or small apps. Took about two hours with Claude [0] by just building up the functionality in layers, testing each layer as we went. If I'd rawdogged it, 2022-style, it would probably have taken me a month to write.
It's been running flawlessly for months without a single error. In fact, spooky good. I still feel nervous about it, though and check it every morning.
It is built mostly as a web app in .NET 10 Razor with SQLite db.
The APIs for the social networks are the hazy bit. As OP mentions, some are badly documented. Some are a pain to get access to. I was using a driven browser to post to Twitter, but they opened their API recently, which was nice.
[0] I used Claude in Github Copilot, so total cost was less than the $10/month in credits.

That was an interesting article. I have a few questions about the workflow.
1. You mentioned developing tasks in parallel—how many agents were you actually running at the same time? Did you ever reach a point where, even if you increased the degree of parallelism, merging and reviews became the bottleneck, and increasing the number further didn’t speed things up?
2. I really relate to the idea of “80% of features in 20% of the time, then 80% on polish.” Did you use AI for this final polishing phase as well? In other words, did you show the AI screenshots of the screens and explain them? Also, when looking back, do you feel that if you had written the initial specifications more carefully, you could have completed the work faster?
JanSchuop6 hours ago
What I did was to break the development into different layers which had to be completed after another, since the functionalities build on each other. Each layer had independent work streams which run in parallel. Each work stream was one independent worktree/session in Claude code
First I triggered all work streams per layer and brought them to a level of completion I was happy with. Then you merge one after another (challenge in github with the @codex the implementation and rebases when you move to the next work stream.
This is roughly how it looked like:
Layer 0 - Project Scaffolding

I’m not a power user/poster but I see it as no less valuable than many other similar places. All of them have similar problems. For me it’s probably bifurcated by time spent tuning the feeds.

I know some people have ideological things going on that make them choose different networks, but they have more than half a billion active users so it's not exactly a ghost town.

I go check it out once a month, it's nothing but bots, AI hustlers and Musk jerking. Why would any brand actively invest in their presence there?

In The Netherlands it’s a full on crazy town. I’m not kidding. It’s bottom of the barrel vitriolic garbage. Not one positive , insightful or interesting tweet among them.
