Clone of Hitster built entirely via voice prompts to Claude from a car.

Strengths

  • Tailscale Serve exposed local server instantly without firewall configuration.
  • Vanilla stack kept complexity low enough for LLM to manage entirely.
Weaknesses
  • Spotify ToS prohibits game usage, making this strictly a private experiment.
  • API changes broke playlist fetching, requiring manual LLM troubleshooting mid-drive.

Post Description

Built a DIY Hitster clone (music quiz game) during a car ride. Voice messages to Claude Code on a home server, Tailscale for instant preview on my phone. Fun side note: Spotify's ToS explicitly prohibit building games with their API, so this will stay a private project.

My 16MB vibe-coded voice cloning app

Shrinks the usual TTS bloat into a 16MB Electron-alternative wrapper while still letting you clone voices from a short sample and 'design' voices from text prompts. It handles model downloads for you, supports batch exports and macOS auto-updates — smart product trade-offs. Caveat: the app binary is tiny, but the underlying TTS models are downloaded on demand, so expect large model pulls behind the scenes.
