I’ve curated my Twitter feed to surface cool AI projects. When something catches my eye, I clone it. I don’t read blog posts about it. I just open the repo and start chatting with an AI coding agent to understand what’s going on.
Recently saw Vibe Kanban on my feed. It’s a Kanban board for orchestrating AI coding agents. Looked interesting, so I cloned it.
Things I learned in like 10 minutes:
- Axum exists. Rust web framework. Never heard of it before today.
- They didn’t use Tauri. I assumed any Rust + React app would use Tauri. Nope. Just a local web server that opens in your browser. Wayyy simpler.
- NPX distribution is clever.
npx vibe-kanbanand you’re running. No installers. No platform builds. I would’ve overcomplicated this fr.
If I had to build something similar, I would’ve gone the Tauri route and made my life harder. Now I know a simpler path exists.
That’s the point. Clone repos that interest you. Ask an AI to explain the codebase. You’ll pick up patterns you wouldn’t have thought of.
Works with any AI coding tool (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, whatever).
Hope this was useful :)
