Vibe coding has escaped the terminal

Platformer · 1 week ago

A technology writer describes building three Mac desktop applications using Raycast's Glaze, an AI-powered vibe-coding tool that launched publicly in June with a free tier and $20/month Pro subscription. The writer created a Nightwing-themed to-do app with AI-generated images, a Platformer archive search app that took about a day to build, and a work-in-progress contacts manager, demonstrating how AI-assisted development has made creating personalized software faster and more accessible. The ability to visually edit apps in real-time while they run makes this approach to software creation notably easier than previous terminal-based methods, potentially enabling wider adoption of hyper-personalized applications.
