Fair question... I'd even go as far as broadening the scope :
Are there any popular/successful vibe-coded anything?
And by popular/successful I don't mean bought Github stars from other GenAI/LLMs related project as it's been a demonstrated practice https://awesomeagents.ai/news/github-fake-stars-investigatio... for that specific domain now.
Bit of a stretch, but possible. I've had agents write 100x more code for me _to be productive at things_ than they do for new projects I want to sell/share.
no, most won’t burn themselves by publicly linking them as vibe coded
there is that ny times article about the peptide guy and lovable showcase by revenue though. I guess next up are even more disqualifiers about the term “successful”, but my outstanding question is who cares? What does convincing you buy, an Anthropic pro subscription at best?
Even simpler but non-trivial programs require a lot of back and forth. So in the end it will be the same kind of motivated people that will be able to produce something good. We’re nowhere near “Claude, build me GTA6”
Fast forward to 2026 and the next generation platform is here, and while there are unique, passion projects available, most of the discover screen is filled with vibe coded xp farming games with AI slop thumbnails. The issue is so big Facepunch had to actively derank and punish games that would do this, because the "marketing" content was so detached from the game (despite everything being AI generated pretty much).
Or maybe it is not worth the time and tokens spent to vibe code yet another Minecraft / Roblox clone that makes no money.
