Be the person who ships the missing tool. Before the ticket closes.
Be the person who builds the team's missing tool — quick internal apps, status boards, and ICP trackers that beat waiting for IT.
Built before standup.
Demoed at standup.
Shipped after standup.
shipped. Zero tickets filed. Each one a single-file React app you own end-to-end.
When the queue is six weeks long, the workaround becomes the product.
Every team has a list of tools that would save an hour a day if they existed. They don't, because nobody is going to spin up a project, pick a stack, and request a database for an app that ten people will use. So the spreadsheet keeps growing, the Slack thread keeps scrolling, and the status meeting keeps happening. A vibe is the workaround that ships in an afternoon — owned by the person who needed it, not by a backlog.
OG vibes from Vibes DIY 1.0
Pick one to clone or remix. These ran on the original platform and still hold up.
Internal tools, shipped
Each one is a single-file React app you can run, clone, or remix. Hit Visit to use the live version, Remix to fork it for your team, or Start fresh to launch a new vibe from the same prompt.
Standup Status Board
Async standup that beats the daily Zoom. Each teammate posts Yesterday / Today / Blockers in a card with a one-tap mood emoji. Live Fireproof sync, 7-day streak strip per teammate, team check-in donut showing who's posted, and a one-button archive that resets the board for tomorrow.

ICP Pipeline Tracker
B2B prospect sheet that beats the spreadsheet. Quick-add prospects with company, contact, stage, fit score, and deal value. Visual funnel bar at the top, conversion percentages between stages, smart "Next step" suggestions on stale rows, sortable by fit / staleness / value, totals tile at the bottom.

Tool Request Queue
"I wish we had X" board for coworkers. One-line title, urgency chip, thumbs-up votes (one per browser). Trending 🔥 badge at 5 votes, confetti at 10. Anyone can claim "I'm building this" or mark Shipped with a link. Speed-run ⚡ badge if shipped within 7 days. Hall-of-fame changelog at the bottom.

Team App Tracker
Track every internal tool your team has shipped — owners, ICPs, status, quick demos, and live links. The directory the wiki page was supposed to be.
✦ Start fresh from this prompt →Patterns from the original platform
Reference vibes shipped on the first version of Vibes DIY. Grouped by what they actually do — clone any one as a starting point.
Kanban Boards
Drag-and-drop kanban with backlog / active / done columns and a task detail view. Pointer-based dragging, Fireproof persistence. Three takes vary the styling and the drag-handle behavior.

Fraud & Spam Detectors
Paste a suspicious email, SMS, or link — AI returns calibrated fraud scores, flags blackmail, extracts crypto-wallet addresses, and links to fraud databases and authorities. Two takes: industry-tuned fraud scoring vs. email-safety guardian.

Filtered News Feed

Billable Time Tracker
Live session timer at your hourly rate. Start the timer, log past sessions, watch the running total tick up; money-blast animation on stop. Useful for consultants and contract-aware teams.

— Internal Tools Memo, Vibes DIYNone of these started as a roadmap item. Somebody needed a thing, built it that afternoon, and the team kept using it. That's the loop. The IT queue isn't going anywhere — but the workaround stops being a workaround the moment it ships.
