Board games, Chrome extensions and a reading companion, each vibe-coded in under 15 minutes
Shraddha says reading about the age of personal software is one thing, and experiencing it first-hand is another. The list of things vibe-coded in under 15 minutes: versions of expensive board games like Secret Hitler for game nights, with no phones needed; a read-aloud Chrome extension for essays, used every day; a YouTube extension that strips out Shorts and side recommendations; and a reading companion that answers questions about a selected line in the margin. None of these replaced a big SaaS contract. They replaced small purchases and daily annoyances. The zombies are coming for the long tail too.
it is one thing to read about how the age of personal software is here & another thing to experiencie it yourself first hand
things i have vibe coded in <15 mins:
- board games:
i love hosting people for board/card games. some of these games like secret hitler are very expensive, so i vibe coded a version of it. and people don't have to use their phones to play- read aloud chrome extension:
reads essays out loud for me. i have been using it religiously every day- youtube chrome extension:
that removes yt shorts + all the recommendations from the side + so much more- reading companion:
my own reading companion, you can select a line & ask it Qs & it comes up with answers in the margin
