'Vibe coding' your own apps with AI is easy! 7 tools and tricks to get started

Abstract

[...]the advice tends to steer you toward professional tools that are overkill for simple projects. There are hundreds to choose from, dozens of them are mature, and promoters of each tend to have strong opinions, so it's easy to fall into analysis paralysis. Here are some great entry-level project examples for vibe coding: * Python scripts that automate specific tasks, like scraping webpages for data or filtering documents by various criteria. * A single-page personal website or app in HTML and JavaScript. * A single-feature app programmed in Python or C#. [...]heavy reliance on vibe-coded projects can lead to another problem: losing track of how each script and program works, and becoming confused by dependencies.
