Vibe-coded? Who's got odds on it being vibe-coded?

Neither of us had prior experience developing mobile apps, but we thought, “Hey, we’re both smart. This shouldn’t be too difficult.” - Freedom Chat CEO Tanner Haas

Boy of this doesn't sound EXACTLY like the kind of tech bro that would vibe-code the entire app, and call himself a visionary.

Apparently youre unaware this is how software has been made since the beginning. AI has nothing to do with that mindset

Always a great start sign when some one says that. I'm sure they even rolled their own database structure and user account storage. I mean how hard can securely storing user passwords be?

I bet if you can find the API key, then it will allow access to everything.

(Actually after reading it, it's worse, it literally sends people's app PINs in responses.)
