New comment by jokull in "Ask HN: Any example of successful vibe-coded product?"

jokull — Tue, 30 Dec 2025 18:38:23 +0000

Keep in mind that a lot of vibe-coded software is flying under the radar because it’s being built to replace SaaS and bring workflows in-house. We often judge success by public launches or ARR, but the real "killer app" for this methodology right now is internal tooling for small teams. For example, instead of spending developer bandwidth integrating Salesforce into first-party data, teams are increasingly just vibe-coding a bespoke CRM or CMS as an appendage to their existing database. It’s complex software (state, auth, heavy logic), but it will never be on Product Hunt because it's purely for internal utility. The success metric here isn't "did we get 10k users," it's "did we avoid a $50k contract and weeks of integration hell."

I recommend https://remedajs.com/ - they're always making the types more accurate too. Like groupby has nonempty lists.

I just use cloudflare tunnels (cloudflared) - don't have to install any certificates, it's all handled by cloudflare. Yes, it exposes globally, but that's often convenient to share a link to my dev with colleagues. And it has been fast enough. Downside is that you need internet connectivity.

Very different. Svelte has magic event bindings and compiles `.svelte` files. Their learning material is interactive and worth going through just to see some new ideas.

For what it's worth there's a good library to load markdown with Svelte components mixed in. Here's how I'm loading it: https://github.com/jokull/blog/blob/master/src/lib/getPosts....

SvelteKit is a very complete and well designed solution. Routing, data loading, forms, SSR, caching, dealing with environment variables - all very nice. The only "drawback" is Svelte - I just don't like the data binding thing and prefer working with React components and hooks. Maybe that's just because I've spent so much time in React/Next. Well written React code is actually quite easy to debug, reason about and debug. I find it super annoying to refactor Svelte code because every time I want to extract some code into a component it can't be a function in the same file before it becomes a whole new file. It has to be a file. Also haven't found anything nearly as nice as Framer Motion and Radix in Svelte land.

New comment by jokull in "Using a framework will harm the maintenance of your software"

jokull — Thu, 13 Oct 2022 10:57:22 +0000

The criticism is mainly on last-generation frameworks that came around before React and the like. They bundled together an all-in-one approach to writing web apps. Django comes with an admin tool!

The world has largely moved to richer frontends so stacks are more flexible.

They also have a migration guide and have even built some tooling around that process: https://render.com/docs/migrate-from-heroku
