Time for a little #vibecode show and tell: I made a Spotify jukebox! Made to run on a iPad at parties, it'll be a central spot to search/add songs without jumbling multiple devices or clearing queues on accident (yes, it happens, a lot). Here's a little video showing how it works! #buildinpublic

@JPerez414 @NBA If you don't want to see the big Chase logo on the court, just close your eyes as the Knicks lose.

You know what? Heck yeah. Bring on The Cones of Dunshire.

@levelsio Can vouch for American Tourister. Saw them on and old black and white gameshow, learned they were still around, bought multiples, all have been rock solid for years.

@Provee @useTRMNL I'll look into it! It was running on a @netlify function that ran a deploy every 15 mins, but now they charge for prod deploys, so I'll need to change out the codebase a bit.

I'll try to have it up and running well before July 4th. Glad someone else has been enjoying it!

nerd Jaws alert: my 1-bit Jaws demake film is now playing on my @useTRMNL e-ink display, from now until July 4th, with the following fun features:
- 🎞️ over 5k individual 1-bit frames
- 🎨 exactly two colors, black and not-black
- ⏱️ frame count in the bottom right (currently 225 of 5,300)
- 🖥️ follow/hack along at https://t.co/ePmzSd6QpM
submitted as a public TRMNL recipe, hope to share soon. until then, grab your own img URLs at https://t.co/ePmzSd6QpM

@bsierakowski Maybe not quiiite the same, but Netlify let's agents build and deploy sites without needing an account first.

[Clark Wimberly @clarklab]

@MarcoAlmeidaPT @yoast Newspack is especially tricky because they aren't all the same author. Maybe plugin taxonomies could work?

[Clark Wimberly @clarklab]

literally any other project I can paste in a screenshot (or just ramble with words) and get a layout that's about 90% the fidelity I'm looking for.

but not Godot! and the agents don't "see it" either, despite have visual testing enabled. they look at both (source, and output), wildly off-base, and go "YEP!"

[Clark Wimberly @clarklab]

if you're an AI nerd just looking for a fun challenge or benchmark, and are running out of "hard" things to test your agents on, I think I've found a hard edge frontier: layouts in the Godot game engine.

and not the 3D stuff, just plain ol 2D game buttons/HUDs/layouts. the agents are SO BAD at it.

gorgeous websites with design system? one prompt. fully baked iOS apps? a few prompts. multiple multiple Godot sessions with Opus 4.7 and Codex 5.5? still looking like hot garbage.

is it just me?

[Clark Wimberly @clarklab]

@JonErlichman @sequoia They never woulda made it if they stuck to acupuncture

[Clark Wimberly @clarklab]

@alex_prompter Impressive twist, haha

[Clark Wimberly @clarklab]

@wimbet The one thing I haven't figured out how to build yet: an audience

[Clark Wimberly @clarklab]

@wimbet At this point it's just a prompt or two away, haha. Would you rather see Codex, Gemini, or Claude build it?

[Clark Wimberly @clarklab]

@zachklein wait is this AI art?!

I'm not judging, I'm in awe.

[Clark Wimberly @clarklab]

@zachklein *fingers crossed he sells puzzles*

these would make an AMAZING 1,000pc jigsaw

[Clark Wimberly @clarklab]

@nkgoutham Hey thanks! Wasn't sure it was possible, and we caught lots of flack, but SUPER happy with the outcome!

[Clark Wimberly @clarklab]

Big news: we bought a house with AI! First time buyers, no realtor, and we just closed way under asking price.

First up, big thanks to my realtor, Claude. And another big thanks to my real estate lawyer, Claude. We truly couldn't have done this without my accountant, Claude.

[Clark Wimberly @clarklab]

If you are familiar with AI and a little bit hard-headed, you can absolutely do this yourself. The other Realtors and the back kind of treated us like crazy people but here we are! Keys in hand and only AI all along the way

[Clark Wimberly @clarklab]

We vibe coded an app that found every property in our area. Then we ranked them all. Then contacted listing agents. We saw our favorites and made an offer. Closed 16% below asking with Claude handling all the negotiations.

[Clark Wimberly @clarklab]

mlahhhhhh

[Clark Wimberly @clarklab]

wait folk still close their laptop? I thought we were all leavin em cracked for our agents...
