A Discord server for vibe coders

Build with AI. Ship with people.

Aethino is where people who build software by steering AI meet. Bring the thing you're making. Ask about it, show it and ship it.

Free. You'll need a Discord account.

An example loop. Yours will be messier. That's fine.

An example build loop: a prompt on an index card, a question to ask in the Discord, a four-line fix, the signup form working on a phone, a commit, and a Shipped stamp.

CONTRIBUTING.md

How joining works

Three steps. There's a draft for the third one at the bottom of the page.

  1. Open the invite

    The Join the Discord button opens discord.gg/vf2Jq9H5x6 in the Discord app or your browser.

  2. Log in to Discord

    Log in, or make a free Discord account if you don't have one yet.

  3. Say what you're building

    One line is plenty. Use the draft below if you're not sure what to write.

README.md

What the Discord is for

For hobbyists and working devs, on their first app or their fortieth. If you build by talking to a model, you'll fit in.

  • show:

    Show what you're making

    Half-finished counts. Screenshots, repos, a link that only sort of works.

  • fix:

    Get unstuck

    The model keeps undoing its own fix? Paste the prompt and the diff and ask.

  • compare:

    Compare setups

    Using Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, v0, Lovable or a model on your own machine? Trade prompts, rules files and the setups that work for you.

  • ship:

    Ship it

    When it's live, post the link. Say what you'd do differently next time.

PROMPTS.md

A short phrasebook

Things everyone types into an AI tool sooner or later, and what to try instead.

  • Instead of: “fix it”

    The model picks something to change and hopes.

    Try

    Here's the full error from src/signup.tsx. Tell me the cause before you change anything.

  • Instead of: “make it pop”

    You'll get a shadow, a gradient and bigger text.

    Try

    Make the signup button the one thing that stands out. Leave the rest alone.

  • Instead of: “undo that, keep the rest”

    It may undo too much or too little. Commit before each change so you can roll back yourself.

    Try

    Undo only your last change to signup.tsx. Show me the diff first.

  • Instead of: “it's still broken”

    It has nothing new to go on, so it guesses again.

    Try

    Still failing. Here's the new error, and here's what I changed since your last fix.

Got a phrase that works? Bring it to the Discord (opens in a new tab).

CHANGELOG.md

What's next

Using more than one model can mean a separate app, key and chat history for each. The plan is to make Aethino one place to run all of them.

It isn't built yet. There's no waitlist and no date. Updates will go in the Discord.
