Hi I built Fredrin to speed up my vibe coding. On any given day, I was juggling between the dozens of cmux tabs w/ claude code, Linear in the other, Github in another, and it always felt like I'm not moving as fast as I should.
Not only that, I needed a better way to create and manage a workflow pipeline of what a task goes through, be it to test, take screenshots, or even video walkthroughs, I wanted an easier visual way of managing all of these things.
So I built Fredrin. Give it a try and if you like it, give it an upvote, retweet, and share.
i was also building something similar. https://github.com/jaequery/planbooq. i think building your own kanban is the new age vim/emacs, so you can streamline your workflows the way you want them to be.
what? no, i love projects like these. but re-reading my comment, it does sound a little messed =p. what i meant was it gave me old HN vibes, back when weird, fun projects popped off instead of everything being AI-wrapped.
i think this is not an easy problem to solve.
but this has been a big enough of an itch for me and i've got some time on my hands these days so i'm building www.ever.chat for anyone interested to take a look.
if anyone wanna chat, stop by and/or hit me up on X!
First 1-3 years of coding, I just coded to get sht done. I got a lot of sht done.
Next 4-8 years, I started getting cute with it and applied all kinds of design patterns, Factory, Abstractions, DI, Facade, Singleton you name it. It looked cute and felt good when it all worked but it was a juggling act. There was usually like 2-3 files to touch just to do one thing. UserFactory, UserService, UserModel, User, you get the idea. It got to a point coding now felt like a burden and I started getting allergic reaction to any projects that had more than 50 files.
Next 4-5 years, I made it a mission to only code in a pragmatic, minimalistic way. Best decision I ever made, this have been the most productive time of my career. I don’t look back and never going back again. A simple require and requireAll with basic OOP is all I need on most cases. Most of my project now have less than 10 “core” files minus the standard views/routes/etc. I enjoy just working on code now it makes me happy and also any devs who joins loves it too as they get it right away. I code almost exclusively in Sinatra now btw. Express is great too but I think the ecosystem isn’t there yet for developer happiness.
Keeping code simple is not easy. It takes a lot of trials and errors to know what works and what doesn’t. I realize I code a lot slower now than in the past and that I write much fewer lines of code. It’s both good and bad because sometimes I’d even spend hours just trying to properly name a variable. But I believe this pays off at the end.
Not only that, I needed a better way to create and manage a workflow pipeline of what a task goes through, be it to test, take screenshots, or even video walkthroughs, I wanted an easier visual way of managing all of these things.
