Many, really, but there are few I'm especially proud of:

- https://github.com/exlee/pikchr_pl - DiagramIDE (diagram amiga-style workbench where you can script Pikchr diagrams using TCL, Prolog, Pikchr or - recently mruby). Note: you need to navigate to actual crate for description. There are binaries built in case someone wants to try it.

- https://svg.axk.sh - semi manual SVG fitter so that I can easier vectorize AI-generated pseudovector images (who doesn't like 30kb SVG versus 1.8mb PNG?!)

- https://github.com/exlee/rik - this one makes me laugh every time I use it - it's an AI harness with text editor as an UI (i.e. it reacts to comment strings) - I gave it personality so it makes wacky comments but other than that it's very constrained agent (limited edition ;))

These are not vibe coded but AI made it much easier to slide through major friction points (e.g. for SVG fitter I really didn't want to reinvent fitting algorithms)

These are really cool - I've been meaning to return to my pikchr-in-wasm IDE experiment. I only ever built a PoC, and that was before AI coding. I should pick it back up and polish it a bit, but after seeing your DiagramIDE, I might just use that.

This whole thread is turning HN into my favorite app store. Good stuff.
