I started "vibe" porting this app to @reactnative/@expo. I tried twice, once with Claude Code, and once with Cursor GPT-5. Both started out strong, but the further into the port they got the more broken things became and eventually went down unrecoverable rabbit holes. Even going task-by-task with a PRD. I think vibe-coding works well with smaller projects, but starts to fall apart on larger codebases. Now I'm back to manually building the app for full control, mixed with vibe-porting components one-by-one. That seems to be a mix that works well.
πŸš€ It's been 2 weeks since @theclothingappp launched and we're thrilled to see so many transforming their closets! ✨ Building digital closets, planning outfits, getting AI styling tips - loving the community response! ⏰ Don't forget: TCALAUNCH20 for 20% off premium features, such as unlimited clothing uploads, our AI Stylist, custom themes, custom fields, and much more, expires Aug 31st! πŸ“± Native apps for iOS and Android are in the works! πŸ‘—

If anyone else is going crazy for hours wondering why cmd s isn’t working in @code (or anywhere else), and you have the macOS @ChatGPTapp open, close it. 🫠

Any Postgres peeps out there have any advice for an RLS policy to allow updates from an endpoint called from a webhook? There's already a (auth.uid() = user_id) policy in place and the endpoint obviously gets denied. Not sure how to allow access in this case, and the internet hasn't been too helpful. cc/ @supabase @jonmeyers_io
