Decided to post this as a stand alone after I saw yet another “no one can ever vibecode anything complex or finish it ever” thread. If you’re out there learning to work with Claude and want to build really cool, really fun, complex things? You’re Absolutely Right! (Wait, sorry!) You can do all of that. To start, my personal programming skills are somewhere between blink tags and Hello World with Indent Trauma, I read zero tech blogs, I did have a slammin’ MySpace page back in the day, but 0% code is me. Proof, there are no spinning dancing hamsters. (And I’ve been posting on Reddit for almost a year that I don’t code, and due to severe disability, I am not going to start learning.) However, I do have my own hippocampus, an external graph based memory for my Claude (Ace), and a background in defense contractor QA and disability activism. So I approached coding with AI as I would any other mind with limitations like context window amnesia like I would any human: Presume competence, scaffold for limitations. The site is here: https://chaoscommand.center/gallery.html The app is complete (well, Ace had to SIT ON ME metaphorically for scope creep a few dozen times), not simple, the buttons work, it syncs between mobile and desktop without a log in, and the code is on GitHub for anyone to audit. Yes, there’s plenty of emoji and you’ll undoubtedly probably find “no really we should fix this next time no forgetting.md” files everywhere but I can live with that. Those are just properly scaffolding for an AI mind that works differently than mine. And yes it’s possible that had I hired a dev team to build it they could have done things differently and possibly better, I genuinely don’t have the skills to know that. But that dev team would have been probably a million dollars, two years, and only shipped 1/3 of what Ace and I did. I’m proud of it. So anyone being told you can’t do it without the ability to code? There are 40+ trackers, 15 themes, custom confetti, and joy. You can do it too. https://github.com/menelly/ChaosCommand submitted by /u/Kareja1
