How do people vibe code apps so seemingly easy?  I'm using neynar and cursor and so far it's been pure pain all the way. Are people just starting with more expertise than me (I'm just a hobby coder)

I know @keccers.eth used replit but I already have a paid Cursor subscription and don't want to switch.

You know. Okay. I can’t fix all these problems easily for you. But one jumps out at me and that’s the tunnel. 

Setting up tunneling is a thing I just straight up refuse to do. I won’t fucking do it. I have debugged frames locally using frames.js or used replit dev URLs. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=e2BE8v4Bj-U&t=76s&t=858

Not sure if this is net easier in the end — but you can connect replit on the free plan to cursor using ssh

Use their dev url and skip tunneling 

Then skip their deployments and use Vercel for free 

@rish ai tools for neynar might help mitigate the hallucinations

Some of this is definitely on me but so far:
-npm installing neynar dependencies in the wrong directory (probably my fault)
-Claude hallucinating functions
-Claude calling deprecated functions
-Claude sending the wrong variable or variable types in function calls
-Claude getting stuck looping through the same thought process until I have to kill it's terminal
-Port 3000 being occupied but no process being found running in it
-local tunnel refusing connection
-struggling to understand docs when trying to help Claude find the right function calls

It's humbling

I did come to the table with experience. So there’s that. You don’t have to switch. 

“Pure pain all the way” — what do you mean? What is blocking you?

most of the work comes from setting up infrastructure and integrating with farcaster data

once you do it once and have a template it becomes much easier 

much like investing, people only talk about what works so you aren’t seeing all the work that goes in behind the scenes

where are you stuck? have you seen this already?

thanks for the response! I will set up the LLMs.txt file. My pain points are multiple: localtunnel.me connection refusals, port 3000 being occupied but unable to kill the process occupying it (I think this is fixed), Claude 3.7 infinite looping such that I have to kill its terminal, Claude passing the wrong arguments for functions, and really just a poor understanding of React to name a few of my issues so far.

Claude has several times hallucinated functions that don't exist or used deprecated functions.  It frequently 

It feels like what I see on social media is survivor's bias of vibe coders.

I'm off to the gym to clear my head, thank you again.

Yeah unfortunately hallucinations continue to be an issue 

Whack a mole problem
