Show HN: I built a tool with AI to lay out furniture on floor plans

Tue, 04/22/2025 - 9:35am

I was facing a possible move and wanted an easier way to visualize how my furniture might fit into different apartments. The tools I found were complicated and didn't do what I needed, so I used AI (Augment) to create a tool for it callled FurniMapper [0] and a demo/tutorial [1].

I'm a product manager, used to be a dev and can still code. I'm not an LLMs-to-AGI guy, and I still find these models unbelievably useful - I would have never spent the time to build this otherwise.

I vibe-coded a small tool for myself – someone paid for it before it was ready

Tue, 04/22/2025 - 8:52am

First time trying the whole “vibe coding” approach — build something fast, minimal setup, just to solve a tiny-but-annoying problem for myself. I work with remote teams and kept running into the same thing: meetings scheduled on public holidays because my calendar wasn’t blocked. So I built a tiny tool that connects to Google Calendar and does that automatically.

Over the weekend, while I was still polishing a few things, I checked my Paddle dashboard and saw I had money. Someone found it on Google, signed up, and paid. No welcome email. No alert. Just vibes.

It’s called Autolidays — lightweight, quiet, and automatic. This was a one-person, nights-and-weekends thing, took less than a month. Vibe coding is wild — the speed is insane, but there’s still a gap to close when it comes to getting something truly production-ready. Curious to see where this path leads.

Show HN: SDK for AI Coding with Long Running Tasks

Tue, 04/22/2025 - 8:43am

It seems that using Cursor has become really repetitive. My workflow typically goes like this: - Get a task to accomplish on a codebase - Research the web and codebase to create a plan - Send the entire plan to cursor and sit back for it to finish

This flow works really well with a high level of accuracy for the most part and it's becoming obvious that the margin between where it is today and "perfect" is quickly closing.

Because of this flow, I feel that I can replicate it through an SDK that uses a AI cli coder tool with low level control.

In this SDK, you can also use the best coder in the world per: https://aider.chat/docs/leaderboards/

As shown here:

```python from cloudcode import Local import os

def main(): # Use the current directory cwd = os.getcwd() example_file = "example.py"

# Initialize the Aider SDK in architect mode agent = Local( working_dir=cwd, model="o3", # Main (planner) model editor_model="gpt-4.1", # Editor model for implementing changes architect_mode=True, use_git=False, api_key=os.getenv("CLOUDCODE_API_KEY") ) # Create or overwrite a simple Python file to modify using the SDK agent.create_file( example_file, """def add(a, b): return a + b """ )

# Run a coding task using the two-model workflow result = agent.code( prompt="make this function super cool. just make the math functions better", editable_files=[example_file] ) # Print the results print("\nTask completed!") print(f"Success: {result['success']}") print("\nChanges made:") print(result["diff"]) # Display cost information print("\nTask completed!") if __name__ == "__main__": main()

```

Given that you can mimic your workflows from cursor and claude code into this sdk, you shouldn't have to sit around on your computer waiting for the long running task to finish.

That's why I built in a Sandbox class that mounts the ai coder into a remote sandbox directory instead of a local folder so you can deploy an ai coder to the cloud, enabling use cases such as coding from your phone and the browser.

I have already found so many low-handing fruit use cases for this sdk to automate prompting, information gathering, and auto-docs as shown in our github https://github.com/LMSystems-ai/cloud-coding

But I want to take it a step further.

You can get started for free today with this sdk and see our favorable pricing model here: https://docs.cloudcoding.ai/pricing
