Getting started with #vibecoding
App Development
Vibe Coding: Building with Flow, Not Force
Lately, I’ve been exploring something I call vibe coding — a way of creating where intuition leads and logic follows. It’s not about planning the entire system before writing a line of code. It’s about feeling the idea, diving into a tool, and letting the process unfold naturally.
Enter Google AI Studio
In this exploration, I stumbled onto Google AI Studio — a surprisingly friendly playground for prototyping with AI models. You can spin up prompts, connect APIs, and test responses instantly. Perfect for vibe coding.
So I thought — why not make something useful for myself?
The Idea: AI Calorie + Fitness Tracker
I’ve been trying to build a consistent system around fitness and diet, but logging food manually always felt like a chore. So I built a simple AI-powered calorie and fitness tracker for myself.
Here’s the concept:
Upload or click a photo of what I ate. (or write it down)
The app uses AI (through Google’s API) to analyze the image and return calories, protein, carbs, and fats.
I can then log it for the day, and it automatically timestamps the entry.
The interface is minimal — just a daily feed of what I’ve eaten and how it adds up.
It’s not just a tracker; it’s a mirror. I see patterns, not numbers.
Surprisingly, it works flawlessly — more accurate than most fitness apps I’ve tried. So instead of searching for the perfect app, I realized I could just build one myself.
Though it’s not without its flaws, this is a solid starting point for me — and I can already see real potential in it. Stay tuned for updates; you might come across something interesting soon.
I wish I could share the app here, but I’m still figuring out how the API works — and I definitely don’t want others using it through my own key. I’ll update once that’s sorted.
