I don't want to be a hater, but exposing access to your homelab through a "fully vibe coded" application (it's mentioned at the bottom of the README) is probably not a good idea.

The idea itself sounds fun though

I guess at least they're being honest, but I would agree - there's a large delta between Al-assistance and Al-driven, and "vibe coding" is one step further (just accepting everything Al does without critique, so long as it "works").

Great for prototyping, really bad for exposing anything of any value to the internet.

(Not Anti-Al, just pro-sensible)

I must be Doing It Wrong(TM), because my experience has been pretty negative overall. Is there like a FAQ or a HOWTO or hell even a MAKE.MONEY.FAST floating around that might clue me in?

No. You have just missed the two last steps. Here is the full explanation, and it is the same as it has always been on HN:

1. Make prototype

2. Magic happens here

3. Make lots of $$$

Great for prototyping only makes it easier to get to step 2, but done correctly, it certainly does that.

As proven by the nice app I have running on my laptop, but probably won't make any money from.
