AffirmCount
A 10-year iOS developer's first personal app — 100% vibe-coded, zero lines read: save affirmations, speak them aloud, let similarity scoring count reps.
The author's confession is the whole story: ten years as an iOS developer, mostly in WebView, and he had never shipped his own app. On parental leave he finally built one — and deliberately never read a single line of code. He knew he couldn't verify AI-generated SwiftUI, so he verified the results instead: feeding the app wrong inputs on purpose to see if it could catch them, letting the AI test itself. AffirmCount is an affirmation practice app with a clever core mechanic. You save affirmations that resonate with you, then speak them aloud; the app compares what you said against the saved text. The hard part turned out to be Korean: grammatical particles change with the preceding word, so one different particle made it a "different" sentence. Hardcoding the edge cases exploded, so the author made a product decision no code was needed for — anything above 85–90% similarity scores as a pass. It is live on both the App Store and Google Play, and the plan is to add on-device AI next. The dev.to post ends with the best detail: when the author opened the oldest log on his MacBook, it wasn't his words — it was messages exchanged between AI agents. The first thing he actually typed was "You are the orchestrator of this repo." Note: This project is curated by the VibeFix editors from public sources.
