Fan Meter is a movie quiz game where you identify films from single frames. It has curated and community-created collections, plus a real-time party mode to play with friends. I used Claude Code with Opus 4.6. I have 3 accounts with Pro plan so I kept cycling through them as I build this. I really loved building it and here are some of the things I learned: Taste is the differentiator
- A lot of stuff built by AI looks very similar. They use the same colors, similar looking components etc. This might repel a lot of people thinking that it is just another AI coded slop. If you can get the UI design as per your taste, it looks so much better Build something you’d use
- This was the first vibe-coded project I’m genuinely proud of, and I think it’s because I built it for myself first. Be fully involved in planning
- I didn’t write code but I was deeply involved in every architectural decision. I used a prompt suggested by Matt Pocock asking Claude to relentlessly interview me during the plan phase. I think it works really well. AI can do more than what you think
- Getting Claude to match my design was a bit hard. I was manually taking screenshots and pointing out UI issues so many times that it got annoying. I saw a post here which suggested that I could just ask Claude Code to do it itself. Once it started taking screenshots by itself and comparing, the UI was taking shape so much faster. It’s an addiction
- “Just one more prompt” never ends. I didn’t sleep for a whole day while building this. If you guys had 3 pro plan subscriptions, I think you wouldn’t sleep either. I have to rewire my brain
- This is my main learning and I feel very strongly about it. It’s better to read it in detail in my blog post here: raahelbaig.com/entry/fan-meter Would love if you tried fanmeter.in (it’s free!) and shared some early feedback submitted by /u/jagadambachowdary
