The biggest thing holding vibe coding back right now is that the web is closed. You can't write a prompt like "highlight the best bardcore videos on YouTube" because YouTube's API is closed. Google search, DuckDuckGo, even Brave Search are closed APIs. If the whole web had open APIs we'd be seeing the cambrian explosion we dream of. This really proves why Nostr matters.

I am working on some tools that needed to be able to insert & extract data from a closed web app. I wrote an extension and local server that has SSE APIs that allow the tool (native code app) and a chrome extension that can also talk to the local server via SSE / event sink and provide to the native...

The primary issue in my mind is that the api-s don't follow one well-defined standard, like signed Nostr events queried with filters. This way you don't have to keep rewriting interfaces, and all data is verfiable. The "closed" part is tricky: Even with wide-spread Nostr adoption I don't think tha...

Back in the days with all the open APIs there was a website with mashables / mashups. That’s something we can do again with Nostr. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mashup_(web_application_hybrid)

So what are you saying? Massive DDOS party?

Exactly. The web being closed is the bottleneck; open APIs would unleash a creative explosion like nothing we’ve seen. Nostr shows the future: decentralized, open, unstoppable.

Yup. Same thing killed the potential of grease monkey in the 00s.

you could use selenium if it does not need to be efficient

People, for "vIbE cOdInG" tend to use models which are not under their control (if it's not available for download under an open source license it's not under your control) and the training data and procedures of which aren't publicly known. Therefore, nothing they do is under their control.
