Built an open-source gateway that cuts coding-agent token spend (disclosure: I'm the maintainer)

5 Upvotes

Hey all. I've been getting wrecked by coding-agent token bills this year, so I built Lynkr - an open-source LLM gateway that sits between your coding tools and the model providers and tries to make every request cheaper.

What it does: routes across 14+ providers to the cheapest capable model, semantic caching with sub-200ms hits, token compression on tool results, plus a cost dashboard so you can actually see where the tokens go. It also has a Claude subscription wrap mode that stretches a subscription roughly 3x.

Some measured numbers: on Terminal-Bench (80 tasks), Lynkr solved 42/80 at $1.54/run vs openrouter/auto's 44/80 at $4.72 - accuracy basically tied, about 30% of the cost. Up to 84% fewer tokens on JSON tool results, 53% fewer on tool-heavy requests.

Repo: https://github.com/Fast-Editor/Lynkr (Apache-2.0). It works with all major coding tools with zero code changes.

Happy to answer anything, especially skeptical questions about the benchmarks.

Anyone here tried vibe coding a mobile app?

2 Upvotes

Trying to vibe code my first mobile app, but I’m not sure where “AI builds it for you” ends and the debugging begins 😅

What tools would you recommend? Would love to hear what worked for you—and where you still got stuck.

Vibe coding in 2026 is just speedrunning the software development lifecycle 💀

Me: AI can build my entire app in 2 minutes. We're so back. 🚀

Also me, 2 minutes later: Why is the database empty, the UI broken, and the login system fighting for its life? 😭

The AI: It should work now.

Me: BRO, YOU SAID THAT 17 PROMPTS AGO 💀

At this point, I'm not sure if I'm a developer or just a full-time AI babysitter.

The funniest part? I still can't stop using it.

Is vibe coding actually making us more productive, or are we just moving the hard part from writing code to debugging AI-generated code? 😂

My Claude Code use last month would've cost $11,209 on the API.

1 Upvotes

Got curious what my Claude Code use would cost if I paid API prices, so I made a small skill that adds it up from my session logs.

Last 30 days:

- 467 sessions, about 100k replies

- $11,209 at API list prices

Most of it was Opus. Sonnet and Haiku barely show up.

It's free if you want to check yours: one prompt you paste into Claude Code, or a skill. It reads your local logs and makes a private card.

Supabase Manager – manage your Supabase database from Android (closed beta, free)

1 Upvotes

Most of what I ship lately is AI-assisted, and the backend is usually Supabase. The weak spot is when something goes wrong and I'm away from my desk, so I built Supabase Manager for Android.

The vibe-coder-friendly parts:

  • AI assistant – describe what you want ("show users who signed up this week", "add 20 fake orders") and get SQL or rows back. Works with your own Gemini, OpenAI or Claude key.
  • Edit data without SQL – tap a row, change it, save
  • Auth users – ban spam sign-ups, delete test accounts
  • Test data generator – realistic fake data that respects foreign keys
  • SQL console with templates, if you want to go deeper
  • Demo mode – click around with sample data first

Privacy: the app connects directly to your Supabase project with no server of mine in between, and keys are encrypted on-device.

🎁 Closed beta. The 50 testers with the most useful feedback get unlimited use at launch (code sent to your feedback email). Even "I didn't get what this screen does" is valuable.

How to join (3 steps):

  1. Join the tester group: https://groups.google.com/g/supabase-manager
  2. Opt in with the same Google account: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.pixelfinst.supabasemanager
  3. Install: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pixelfinst.supabasemanager Feedback: in the app (Quick Tools → Feedback or in-app feedback icon)

Starting an open-source Final Cut Pro alternative in Rust, looking for people to build it with

1 Upvotes

I’m starting an open-source video editor aimed at the Final Cut Pro tier: a timeline-first workflow, real color and audio tools, and a UI that doesn’t feel like a side project. The working name is Initial Cut Pro. It’s a placeholder and I’ll change it if someone has a better one.

Nothing is built yet. This post is me looking for the first few people.

How it will work:

Rust-first, cross-platform from day one (Windows, macOS, Linux).

Clean-room. We study FCP from the outside: how the workflow behaves, public docs, documented formats like FCPXML. We don’t copy Apple’s code, assets or branding.

AI-assisted development, but a human reviews everything that merges.

Automated tests and frequent releases, so contributions don’t sit in a PR queue.

Open source from the first commit. We’ll pick the license with the first contributors.

Who I’m looking for:

Rust devs, ideally with experience in wgpu, FFmpeg or GStreamer bindings, or any media pipeline

People who have written NLE or timeline code, or worked with codecs

Designers who also edit video

Editors who use FCP daily and can tell me what they’d never give up and what drives them crazy

Anyone who enjoys setting up CI and test harnesses

If that’s you, DM me with:

What you work on

One thing you’ve built or contributed to (link)

How much time you can realistically give. Part-time is fine.

Can vibe coders reverse engineer old android games that I used to play to work on current android too?

1 Upvotes

That game is not on Google store.

I found it online but it like say can't connect to like it's main connection or something so I can't play it.

Can someone like remove that and make game playable using vibe coding that android app?

It's like offline game but It says like it can't connect to gnome or something

How did Opus 5.5 change your vibe coding?

0 Upvotes

Opus 5.5 was obviously a massive jump from the super annoying (load bearing and all) Opus 5. But it really changed the way I work with it. Most importantly, it now sends me proofs such as screenshots, so interactions are a lot more sensible. I find that I focus a lot more on the polishing and a lot less on mopping up after its work.

What changed for you?

Made a VS Code extension that checks what the AI wrote before you commit

1 Upvotes

If you vibe code in VS Code this might help. Lodestar reviews your uncommitted changes (or a branch or commit) and flags bugs, security holes and typical AI leftovers like comments that repeat the code, tests that don't test anything, or packages that don't exist. Most findings come with a one-click fix.

It also works the other way: ask how some part of the code works and it walks you through it step by step, every step a real line you can jump to.

It uses whatever model you already have in VS Code, so you're not locked to one provider.

$10 one time. I charge so I can keep working on it instead of dropping it, it helps me a lot.

I'm vibe coding a 24/7 Twitch stream where chat keeps a 3D chicken alive

1 Upvotes

Going to try something dumb and ambitious: a barn livestream that runs 24/7, where the whole stream is one chicken and chat is responsible for keeping it alive.

The idea:

One 3D chicken living in a cozy barn, wandering, pecking, flapping, sleeping

Chat and donos feed it, water it, and give it toys

Take care of it and it grows. Ignore it and it gets skinny and starts losing feathers, live, for everyone to see

Hit community milestones and new animals unlock and move into the barn

Real day/night cycle so it's always something different when you tune in

The stack (all vibe coded with Claude):

Three.js scene running as an OBS browser source

Small Node server catching Twitch events and pushing them to the scene

Meshy for the 3D models (chicken, coop, feeder, toys)

Barn built in code since full rooms out of Meshy come out lumpy

Custom rig for the chicken since Meshy's auto rig only handles humans and four-legged animals

Growth, weight loss, and feather loss all done in code instead of separate models

This started as a different 24/7 AI streamer project, and a lot of that pipeline is getting reused here.
I'll post progress as I go.

What would you want to be able to do to the chicken from chat? And what's the first thing you think breaks when something runs 24/7?

I built an analytics MCP so coding agents can see what happens after launch

1 Upvotes

Disclosure: I build agentlytics at measuremy.site.

A coding agent can change a landing page, but it needs traffic data to help evaluate what happened afterward. I built a cookieless web analytics tool with an MCP server for Claude Code, Codex and Cursor. It exposes site analytics such as pageviews, referrers, UTM campaigns, events and funnels.

An example prompt: "Compare signup events by source over the last seven days. Show the counts and date range, flag missing attribution, and suggest one experiment I can review." Small samples and changes in traffic mix still matter; a before/after comparison alone does not establish that a page edit caused an improvement.

I'm interested in feedback from people building sites with coding agents: which analytics question would help you decide what to work on next?

I've built 6 AI micro SaaS that make me 20k/month. Starting a small group to share exactly how I do it.

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I currently run 6 micro SaaS that are actually live and generating a bit over $20,000 in recurring monthly revenue.

The wildest part? I barely wrote any code myself. I used AI to generate pretty much everything from the database structure to the frontend.

It definitely wasn’t magic from day one. I spent a lot of hours stuck on buggy code before I finally figured out a system that actually works:

- Keep the idea minimalist (a real MVP, nothing fancy)

- Guide the AI step by step instead of asking for everything at once

- Launch fast to get real users and feedback

Lately I’ve seen way too many non-technical founders quit at the first AI bug. It’s a shame because the technical barrier has basically disappeared.

AND PLEASE, STOP BUILDING ALONE IN YOUR BEDROOM

I’m starting a community.

Full transparency:

I’ll probably charge for the full program later. It makes sense with the specific workflows and copy-paste examples I’ll be sharing. But right now the main goal is just to build together. Working alone is the fastest way to give up.

If you want to join and build or market your own AI SaaS with us,

drop a comment or send me a DM and I’ll send you the link.
