"consumption-to-creation ratio" are words i've never put to that positive feeling of choosing to code over watching another TV show or the negative feeling of the alternative choice.
recently i feel like vibe coding is a cheat code in this respect - i can code while watching TV... and a few times the output of the vibe coding exercise was interesting enough to switch to full attention coding.
when i track nutrition i always get stuck on things like "are the values for a chicken thigh with the bone in or out? do i weigh the meat pre-cooked or after i cook it? do i weigh the bones after i'm done eating and subtract that from the initial weight?" im probably overthinking it.
love the look and i'll keep playing with it but right off the bat i ran into a couple issues:
when i start typing on the search box on the home page it eats the first character (so as i type chicken, what shows up in the next screen's search field is just 'hicken'). and when i search for chicken thigh i don't get any results - seems to just stop filtering? when i press enter in the search field when "chicken thigh" is entered i get a "something went wrong" error.
all these experiments are just me chatting with o3-mini-high, pasting into an editor, and testing in a browser.
the longer i iterate the further off the rails it goes and i find myself reiterating previous requirements. i imagine with some customized prompting you could better keep it consistent with established requirements.
latest in my vibe coding adventures is an infinite word search game. click and drag when you find a word.
the grid of letters is pseudo-randomly generated by coordinate (so it is deterministic) and the game seeds actual words in every 10x10 sub-grid. these are also pseudo-random.
this was an idea for a game i had back in 2023 but never executed on.
tonight while binging dune prophecy i vibe coded it and after a few episodes i had something worth sharing.
> the kid had bought stock and then, ''using multiple fictitious names,'' posted hundreds of messages on Yahoo Finance message boards recommending that stock to others
fun. good writeup. i tried setting up a custom gpt to run a game like anagramish.com - gave it the word list to choose from, instructions on the rules, etc - but no matter what i did in the prompt it would hallucinate start words or it would incorrectly accept invalid guesses (or mark correct guesses as invalid).
really enjoyed this demo of a tool that enables text documents to be gradually enriched with application features. think taking a recipe and making the quantities and durations interactive via some pattern matching and simple instrumentation.
