Ask HN: Should Hacker News have a "prompts" section to AI code novel apps/games?

Each post would consist of a self-contained prompt for coding a novel web app/game along with the recommended AI(s) for doing so.

I'd skip the level of indirection and just add an 'amichail asks' section.

Too specific, and it would be a turn-off for me to have such a section. We don't have "Show my NFTs" either, you can try Lemmy for that.

I think this might be an appropriate use for regular "Show HN", no?

Short English prompts that can be used to create entire apps/games via AI is a recent and very important development IMO.

I have sincere doubts that a single short (or even long) prompt is enough to get a working app/game beyond some trivial level of difficulty. And even if it were possible, such a thing would be interesting to only a very small subset of HN readership. I'm quite interested in recent AI developments and I would still not click on such a section.

Gemini 2.5 Pro (Preview) was able to one shot my novel Rubik's cube variant as a web app via a short English prompt.
