People condemn vibe coding, saying it isn't real coding. But…

I believe the difference isn't the tool; it's the mentality behind it. Use AI to learn faster, build smarter, experiment more, and turn ideas into reality. Don't just copy and paste. Understand what you're building and keep improving. **While they argue about the method, you could be miles ahead building something real.** Master the tool. Sharpen your mind. Keep building. 🚀

We’ve expanded TodayMet’s example profile library from 8 to…

The 15 new profiles cover professions including graphic design, illustration, video editing, voice acting, translation, virtual assistance, interior design, architecture, consulting, academic research, writing, journalism, public speaking, acting, and music. These aren’t just placeholder pages. Each profile demonstrates how TodayMet can work for that profession, including: - Profession-specific introductions, highlights, and calls to action - Protected contact details such as personal email, WhatsApp, and LinkedIn - Protected résumés and selected private materials - Location and Google Maps integration - “Currently” and “Working style” sections - Realistic content structure and visual presentation - A dedicated guide explaining how to build an effective profile for that use case The profiles and guides link to each other through a central examples hub, giving visitors a clearer path from researching a use case to seeing the finished result. We also updated the sitemap workflow so editor-managed profiles are automatically exposed to search engines after creation, without requiring another application build. All 30 new profile and guide URLs have now been submitted through Google Search Console. Explore the full library: https://todaymet.com/examples

The revamped Trayage website is live! 🎉

I’ve given it a fresh look and made it easier to understand what the app does, how it works, and where it might fit into your Mac routine. Trayage helps you find downloads you no longer need—leftover installers, possible repeat downloads, and large or older files. You review the suggestions and choose what moves to Trash. The new site brings that workflow up front, alongside clearer pricing and practical guides for tackling Downloads. I’d love some feedback from fellow builders: does the homepage make the value clear? Anything that leaves you with questions? Take a look → [trayage.app](https://trayage.app)

Trayage 1.0 is now on the Mac App Store.

I built it to help answer a small question: what in Downloads do I still need? You review the files and choose what goes. Nothing is removed automatically. Free review. Optional 7-day cleanup trial. One-time purchase. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/trayage/id6810382134

Hey guys i just shipped a new Leaderboard points system.

If you loved last week's competition, this is for you: To protect against spamming, I've designed the pointage like this: - impressions are your multipliers - points from posts/comments/reposts only count if they have impressions - 0 impressions gives you 0 points, but more impressions give you more points. This algorithm rewards quality posts and hurts spamming. This was built straight from feedback. Hope you guys like it. Let's keep building ! 🚀 P.S. your score on the leaderboard updates hourly now (to track impressions)
