So @dogs team launched a near-exact copy of my website hoton.tg. Same hero text, same tab structure, form layout, placeholder text, etc.
I never knew until I saw it while scrolling X a few days ago.
The only big difference is that they gave it a black theme and slapped the DOGS brand on it. Every other elements are from hoton.tgπ
I'm flattered, ngl, but I'm also surprisedβ¦ because who would have thought they would do such? π
They definitely have enough resources and a team to build something different from scratch, even if they want to vibe code it, than to copy paste what a solo dev spent sleepness nights buildingπ€³
It just feels kinda strange that they went this route and they never had any prior contact with me before doing such, lol
But nevertheless. We keep building.π¬

Made some huge UI improvements. Added a Video/image preview, and they follow the theme transition when you switch themes and vice versa.
Spent my whole night just trying to get it perfect lol.
tons of trial and error but itβs working flawlessly now.βββββββββββββββ

I think Iβm spending most of my time on the UI Instead of adding more real features π€£

By the way, vibe coding is not as easy as you think; you have to know how to prompt properly if you want your work to be easier and faster.
Iβm still learning thoβ¦ and itβs fun, honestly. Iβve been watching a lot of YouTube videos and am still going through the Claude course, which is actually very helpful.
I think Iβm getting addicted, which I donβt know if itβs a good or bad thing. Sometimes I donβt sleep or eat until Iβve fixed a certain bugπ
