Show HN: I vibe coded a free typing game for my kids
Posted by Alan01252 2 days ago
My kids are surprisingly keen to learn to type, and I couldn't find any thing out there which was
A) Free without adverts B) Worked well on mobile/tablets C) Was clutter free and easy to use
I wondered how easily I could vibe code a solution.
Here's the result.
Everything here was "vibe coded" to an extent, the graphics, sounds, art-work, even the github pipelines ( and I used chatgpt to instruct me how to configure everything in AWS )
I'm particularly pleased with the phoneme game, https://free-kids-typing-games.com/games/phoneme-sound-lab/ which was crafted using Google's TTS engine, and I think could be expanded further.
The mobile keyboard is also particularly impressive and works really well for little fingers.
I thought the hacker news crowd might be interested.

Love that it works on mobile
I think Vibe coding is great for parents, sometimes I have an idea and I don’t have time to focus on execution
