Ask HN: How do you promote apps which are vibe coded but has real life usecase?

3•faiyaz26•1h ago
I am quite keen on developer tools, built some tools for developer productivity. But when I post about the app on the reddit (or other place), I don't get interaction instead getting more harsh comments about being vibe coded. In some cases, people are not even opening my app's website, rather just commenting like a bot about being vibe coded or having text using LLM.

It was not like that, 2 years ago, any packages I created (more simple but useful), I posted on reddit and people shared their feedbacks, but now I am not getting reach or useful feedbacks. Even though I am posting on the same sub-reddits/channels, some channel is even deleting my post by saying AI slop.

Most of my work is open source, and I am not trying to sell them. I am curious, how people are trying to build a community around a product or project, how you are promoting apps/project which are clearly vibe coded and but really useful or solving some real problems (maybe even a startup can be built around that).

Note that, I am an experienced developer, who is utilising LLM to ship and solve system faster and having problems on making people understand the value of the project rather the code itself.

Talk about the app where users are and about how you coded it on your blog or LinkedIn. Users don't know or care how you built it and devs won't become users anyway.

Shameless plug for my own AI pair programmed app. About 500 MAU. Not one of them complained.
