Show HN: A living Vancouver. Connor is walking dogs at the SPCA this morning

I've spent most of my career in marketing, which for the last few years has meant building consumer personas for campaigns. I wanted to see if I could make these real, living in real neighborhoods, had real weather, real budgets, real Saturday lunches. I always wanted to build a world, not a segment.This is that. 140 people so far, split across Vancouver (100), San Francisco (20), and Tokyo...

I have never written code before but I have been learning vibe coding for the past few months.

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a platform where we share our repos and projects that was vibe-coded. Somewhere we can reflect on our experiences and share what we have learnt. No payments, or profit seeking behavior.

In my experience, the hardest part of vibe coding is getting through the initial hurdles every time I use a new tool. Whats worse is that it seem to be so obvious what I should of done in retrospect, like understanding the implications of using an sql database vs aws redmi.

I think this is where a platform could come in to aid us vibe-coders in sharing projects for free and learning from others mistakes, like the early silicon valley days. It might be a dumb one, but my thesis is that through sharing our experiments and experiences we can drastically reduce the learning curve for new programmers. I think be extremely beneficial for people with no prior experience, especially as we move to more agentified development.

But please let me know your thoughts and if anyone would be interested in working on this with me.

This would be a game changer. There are so many times I run out of credits without knowing when it’s going! I know there is the dashboard, but I think it’s quite limited in my use cases.
