"The build is the pretext. The room is the product." About three hackathons. GroupMe came out of one. Zapier came out of another. A marriage came out of the third.

"Software whose job is to generate culture, not generate retention." -Unnamed VC It has a name now. The people who coined it ship fifty apps a year and call themselves a band.

we pointed an agent at 64 app ideas. 60 of them went live in 10 minutes. no build step, no hosting config, no infrastructure decisions. each one got its own URL, its own database. here's how it works 👉

We are all making apps and projects everyday and we'd love to see what you're making. So we're opening our Wednesday morning meeting to everyone to see what people are building. Come join us and demo your work: Wednesday March 15th @ 9:30a PST

Q: "How do people log in?" A: Clerk. Or Auth0. Or Supabase Auth. Or Firebase Auth. Each with its own SDK, dashboard, token flow. Don't forget the callback URLs. Q: "Well, what happens if I just don't want to manage logins?" A: ... vibesdiy.substack.com/p/the-deploy...

Meet Julian, Marcus Estes' personal agent. Marcus, Julian and @j-chris.bsky.social are at the Claude Code 1st Birthday Party tonight with a featured demo showing how our Vibes CLI (powered by Vibes DIY, Fireproof, and Claude) can turn claude -p into a real, persistent personal agent.

Marcus built a personal agent, Julian, in 7 days with Vibes CLI and Claude Code. Literally: claude -p One VM. One subscription. One human + one agent. Marcus is introducing Julian today at Claude Code’s 1st Birthday. 🎂

@j-chris.bsky.social explains how Fireproof and Vibes DIY fit together in a recent post. 💛🧡❤️

Hello Fireproof folks 👋 It’s been a minute! Over the last year we’ve been continuing work on Fireproof while also exploring a project that grew naturally out of it: @vibes.diy Both are open source, and both share the same idea: build *with* the web, not against it.

It turns out having a lazy CEO is a good thing. 😉 links.vibes.diy/WhyWereBuild...

Vibes DIY is shifting the paradigm from optimizing for buyers to empowering users. If you want to join the movement, consider pitching in on our open source project links.vibes.diy/readme

Chris on how AI-assisted coding actually works in practice. The real value isn't that AI writes code faster... it's that AI holds context so you don't have to. You hand off a problem, go make dinner, and pick up exactly where you left off without the "wait, what was I doing?" tax.

What if software could be "liquid"? That's the compelling vision of the future that Marcus Estes talk about with Iris and Noam who are building for the next generation of folks learning to code with AI. youtu.be/QkxZBpeIONA

It's not often that the words "heartwarming" and "inspirational" jump to mind when I think about coding — of any kind. At first blush, "vibe coding" may seem unserious. But in reality, it holds the potential to empower folks to build the solutions they need. Case in point. /cc @vibes.diy

We’re at JSConfMX this week. If you’re here we’ll show you how to build an app in seconds and then we’ll install your app to a stickers. 😀 #JSConfMX

It's still early, but @vibes.diy — an implementation that demonstrates the power of the @fireproof.storage db concept — is definitely one to keep an eye on. siliconflorist.com/2025/09/18/h...

The look on your board members’ face when he says he’s been vibe coding (and clearly loving it). 🥰

It’s been a tough week+ living in hell (aka Portland, OR), but at least we have handsome devils like Rick Turoczy of @siliconflorist.com to hang with. #siliconflorist #vibecoding 😈

Just over an hour to go! RSVP: guild.host/events/torc-and-vibesdiy-hackathon-ztfqa9 #VibeCoding

Our team will be in Portland next week, and we're hosting an informal hangout on Tuesday. You're invited! Learn more and RSVP -> lu.ma/7ndk8wau #VibeCoding

Yonz, founder of of Vella.ai and LoFi.so, is rockin’ his new shirt. If you want one of these limited-edition hypercolor shirts, send us a link to what you’ve made using Vibes DIY and we’ll pop one in the mail to you (while supplies last). #LocalFirst

The Emmy Awards are coming up! What if you could make an app to gamify the event? #Emmys #JustVibes www.youtube.com/shorts/KWihp...

“If making an app is easier than making a TikTok, now what?” - @j-chris.bsky.social on @changelog.com. #ChangelogPodcast #VibeCoding

Quick reminder that this takes place today #pdx #portland

We hosted Vibe Code Karaoke last month where people built apps within the length of a song. Tomorrow we're hosting a bike ride where we'll code complete apps while biking around town. What's next‽ #VibeCoding www.youtube.com/shorts/5ERZn...

Wednesday's Vibe Coding Bike Ride has been deemed the "Most Portland-y vibe coding event" by Rick Turoczy of @siliconflorist.com #SiliconFlorist #VibeCoding #BikeSummer youtu.be/fd0vvY8W5cM?...

We're hosting a Vibe Coding Bike Ride in Portland, Oregon this coming Wednesday. See you there? #VibeCoding #BikeSummer www.shift2bikes.org/calendar/eve...

Seriously, if you have any doubts about whether LLMs can do useful work, hit up @vibes.diy. type a few sentences about an app you might find useful. It'll build it right in front of your eyes. It would have taken you hundreds of dollars or more to hire a dev "body shop" to build that for you.

In 2025, anyone can build apps. Thx @changelog.com www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_e1...
