    Not a programmer (accountant here) and thanks to Github copilot in VSCode, I was able to make the app I couldn't find. It's been a super fun hobby over the last 6 or 7 months, especially hosting it myself and my only cost now is Apple's recurring 99 USD in case i want to ship an update later, so I can keep it up for free into the future.

    95% of the app is boilerplate API and DB stuff but I stood 0 chance of making this without the LLM handling syntax and the volume of code.

    It's Plantshare and it helps people share and find plants, because if you do gardening, your plants are likely making more free plants all the time. which you can now share and find on this app. Saw an app for sharing tools in your neighborhood and I thought that was really cool, so I did this but for giving plants/seeds/cuttings away.

    Or don't. It has been made fairly clear that AI-generated content isn't on-topic for HN.

    Now, if you have written a product that is successful and want to share that success, and just happenned to vibe-code it, that is a different story. But "Hey, I vibe-coded this." is not particularly interesting.
