Sometimes when I’m vibe coding I feel like Ender from Ender’s Game and even though I’m making a stupid web app, I’m actually somehow actually winning a battle across the universe.

Great project!

Vibe coding has really helped me explore skills outside of my comfort zone which can then be applied in combination with other existing skills or interests in new ways.

In the case of your project, I imagine that now that you can gather data such as books from an image of a bookshelf, you can do something similar in infinite other ways.

The tools I AI slop/vibe code are more like when I'd use spreadsheets for everything rather than real software.

I'm not against taking the time to read the docs, learn to craft code, and ship beautiful projects, but I could have done that before and didn't then either.

The difference is that now I have a hundred small, internal tools that save my team time and energy.

Not sure how your delivery was, but maybe the best way is, “If I were doing it that way, here’s how I’d go about it. However, I might consider this other way and here’s why.”

Can you do this with the prompt of a cow jumping over the moon?

I can’t ever seem to get it to make the cow appear to be above the moon. Always literally covering it or to the side etc.

I run officesnapshots.com and we currently identify visible products manually (not just office chairs).

This allows us to show our readers which specific products are in the photo they are looking at which is a service we offer to the manufacturers.

It is advertising, but like hyper-specific and relevant to the photo you’re looking at.

This is really interesting. I’ve been looking for a way to automate the next step in this process after you know which photos have chairs: knowing the model and manufacturer of each chair. Unfortunately training a model suitable for the long tail of possibilities is beyond me.

Playing a MUD was the reason I started making websites so my friends could "easily" share equipment stats with each other without needing to scan them in the game.

I learned way into my adult life that I could just turn the swivel hook/latch to quickly unwind the cord on a vacuum cleaner.

Before that moment I would manually unwind the cord just like I would wind it up. To make it worse, I even remember wondering why the swivel hook was there thinking it was poor design.

Would be interested to hear other people’s favorite paid WordPress plugins.

A couple essential ones for me are Advanced Custom Fields Pro and Admin Columns Pro.

This is interesting to me because I recently made a website for a niche type of product and was denied Amazon Affiliate.

“We want an associate site to be one that adds value to the customer by giving them insight on a subject or product they might not get easily.”

Listing all of the products available (Amazon and elsewhere) in one place (there are like 20 total ) so a shopper could compare features seemed liked it would suffice.

Perhaps I should reformat the website to be like Diskprices and try again.

I am decent at writing PHP/WordPress with a basic working knowledge of some js/jQuery.

I wanted to use my GPX files to generate my own private hiking/running log.

With basically zero knowledge specific of GPX files, D3.js, or mapbox before starting I was able to quickly write a plugin that displays a path on a mapbox map as well as generates an elevation profile.

It would have taken me so long to do this before by googling and reading documentation with trial and error I would have stopped the project.

Now I have a working system.

I bet if you combined GPT creation with Zapier integrations you could help a lot of people and companies.
