https://inlovingmem.com/ - is a tribute to my recently deceased mom that I vibe coded over the last week. I felt her life deserved to be celebrated widely but wanted to be sensitive to her privacy. I've also built in a number of interactive features for participation in funeral services etc, before, during, and after.

Folks have reached out about having an 'In Loving Memory Of' site for their loved ones, so I'm turning this into a side business to help out more with my (now widowed) father's retirement and care.

My sincere condolences for your loss, she must have given you incredible peace and strength to be able to produce this so early!

Thank you. This didnt come from place of peace or strength but from grief and a sense of need to honor her. One possibility for vibe coding is that it may turn app / web development into a form of therapy for more non-professional developers, and eventually all non-developers.
