Latest Vibes

Had some off-work days so decided to vibe some ideas I had in the back of my mind. Mostly used Claude Code, also ChatGPT just to generate app icons.
Bogotá crime heatmap webapp
I was interested to see which areas of Bogotá (Colombia) were more sketchy and at which times. The city publishes a bunch of interesting datasets including reported crimes, so I consumed that API and plotted results on a map.
Fun part was building a Cloudflare KV worker to cache the dataset API responses (historic data, it doesn't change) so we get faster interactions and a more reliable service.
Amazon sponsored products blocker Safari extension
I was annoyed by the number of sponsored products on Amazon, like I want to see products by relevance not by how much the seller paid to promote them. Probably some adblock does this but preferred to build my own since I figured would be a quick CSS injection.
What I learned is building Apple stuff (even if only for yourself) means either paying the 99$/year for the developer subscription or jumping through many hoops to use your tools outside of a simulator.
To use the extension, I need to enable developer mode in Safari, enable the setting for installing unsigned extensions and load the package as a temporary extension, which needs to be repeated each time the app relaunches.
Personal Finance macOS app
Instead of tracking my moneys on a spreadsheet like it's 2024, I wanted an app on my mac tailored to my particular needs.
I'm not sharing this one for obvious reasons, but I vibed it to feature investment and bank accounts tracker, multi currency support, credit card, budgeting, net worth... It was surprisingly easy to vibe. Are off-the-shelf personal finance apps cooked?
Stock price tracker iOS app
I just needed a tool on my phone for swing trading, to keep track of ticker prices regarding my entry point, so I can get notified to update my limit orders accordingly.
Another example of a niche use case which I wouldn't spend the time to build manually but it's basically free to do with a coding agent.
Soundboard watchOS app
I just wanted to build something for my Apple watch, nothing interesting came to mind, so I just downloaded some meme sounds and vibed an app with some buttons to play those sounds.
