W(o/a)ndering a(b/r)ou(t/nd) the world with curiosity

FABRIC Reunion

Vibecoding has finally seeped into my life. I finally implemented the project I wanted to bring to live - a thing that looks at uni societies' posts on instagram, extracts events from them and presents them in a pretty manner.

You can check out the repo -here-.

Of course, there are some more things I need to work on - primarily, the date extraction is bugging a bit. There are also some issues with the scraper api itself, but for something I've figured out from start to finish in 6 hours, I think this is fine.

Bottom-line, I really enjoyed not having to write many lines of code manually, but also it's important to be able to read the code, and preferably to let Claude code in smaller chuncks to maintain a solid grip on what's happening in the codebase. Also, it seems like the value is shifting from being able to implement the general functionality (at least for simple apps) to making the UI/UX polished.
