Building a Digital Neighborhood by Vibe Coding

In December, I joined Vibe Coding study club hosted by a Google UX engineer living in NYC. Originally, the club was meant for people living in NYC only, but a few of us, including me, joined from other places. She generously opened the door anyway. Lucky me!! 🍀🍀

This club turned out to be the place where I completely changed how I think about making software.

Vibe coding

I’ve been using AI agents in my work for quite a while.
But looking back, I wasn’t really vibe coding.

Vibe coding is about prompting, delegating, and letting AI Agents lead the dev process. Before this, I was still writing code myself, planning features based on my own development knowledge, which, honestly, is very limited compared to what AI agents already know. AI was helping me, but I was still trying to stay in control.

Joining the Vibe Coding Club felt like the perfect opportunity to try a different approach.
So for my project, I decided not to write any code at all — only prompts.

What happened surprised me.
The AI agents wrote code much much better than I could, and in a much shorter time. They suggested libraries like senior software engineers, debugged issues efficiently, and responded incredibly well when I explained the problem clearly. At this point, my role shifted: my insight helped the agents figure out what the real problem was.

It made me realize that in the near future, almost anyone can build software easily with their idea through a flood of AI agent tools. Since turning ideas into digital products is becoming incredibly easy, we can finally afford to focus on the essential part. As things become easier, what truly matters becomes clearer.

The extension of our Endive Chaos

For the final project, I built a platform where people can create their own blogs using the same form and style as our blog, Endive Chaos.

When Jiji and I first started Endive Chaos, we were already sharing thoughts on social media.
Over time, social platforms started to feel less social. They are now filled with ads and overstimulating content, pulling us deeper into doom-scroll loops.

At the beginning, SNS was simply a place to share daily life. But as time passed, frank and casual posts disappeared. What we lost was a private, yet online space to share everyday fragments.

I think many people can relate to this feeling.
We needed a place to share small, honest stories. Thoughts that weren’t polished. Fragments of daily life that didn’t need to make sense yet.

It was a part of story about how we started.

And at some point, I started wondering: what if we extended this blog not by growing it, but by opening the frame itself? A friend even asked me if I could make one for them, too.

So I decided to try.

Weaven: A Single Frame

With Vibe Coding, building the frame itself became incredibly easy. If I had to write every line of code myself, I might have felt the urge to lock users into my own database to justify the labor and the cost of maintenance.

But with AI agents, the platform itself can become a disposable tool that can be replaced, redesigned, or reinterpreted at any time. So voices no longer need to be locked inside ad-filled, algorithm dominated social platforms.

This technical ease allowed me to let go. Instead of trapping users, I chose a structure based on Sanity (CMS), where users own their data directly. You hold the key; I simply provide the frame.

Weaven is not a platform designed for growth, engagement, or performance. It is not optimized for likes, followers, or algorithms. It is simply a frame for unpolished thoughts, quiet days, blurry photos, and unfinished sentences.

I imagine Weaven as a neighborhood rather than a network. It is a place where you don’t scroll endlessly, but occasionally stop by, and read someone’s quiet post.

Weaven is the first frame.

Who knows? One of Weaven's users might take their data and "vibe code" an entirely new, personalized space for themselves. Since you own the source, switching the frame is as simple as changing a lens.
