If by production you mean “done” and used by someone (i.e. by me) then I made https://skidmarks.club to replace my peloton subscription. You can browse and ride at https://app.skidmarks.club.

I’ve done ~10 rides with it so far. Hoping I can convince my wife to use it and save myself $50 a month. That would be my most successful side project by a wide margin.

There are probably a lot of examples like this. Vibe coded software people made for themselves, and other people could use it if they wanted.

All of the code was reviewed by myself, and I’m a programmer, so not sure if that fits the description. I didn’t go through it with a fine-toothed comb, however, and 90% of the review was on my phone. I also did some non-vibed setup for hosting, db, email, etcetera.

To me vibe coding is not looking at any of the code at all, but the definition reads a little loose to me these days, especially on HN, as: did an LLM “type” most of the code or did you? Either way I don’t think the term or definition is a big deal and probably not worth splitting hairs over.

Skid marks… not quite the skid marks I was thinking. Sorta fitting for a vibe coded app to be called skid mark though.

What do you mean you used your phone for code review?

I've lately seen a trend where people use their phone to instruct agent on the cloud to build applications. I presume this is beyond having RDP on your phone

    I use Claude Code on the mobile app, it creates a PR, I click the link which takes me to the GitHub mobile app, I turn my phone landscape and scroll through the code. I give feedback in the Claude mobile app if needed and it pushes additional commits.

    I try to keep my instructions pretty targeted so there aren’t too many LOC and files changed. That’s the goal at least.

    I deploy on Vercel, so I get a preview build link I can click in the PR and try the site before I merge to main (trunk based). I use Supabase so if there is a DB migration I just run it in the Supabase console by copy pasting the SQL.

    When I merge the PR it deploys to prod. This works pretty well for me.

What’s your setup to review (presumably) PRs on your phone?

I was going to build this. Thanks for saving me the time!
