Show HN: I made a to-do list app where users use LLMs to rewrite their front end (opens in new tab)

(malleabletodo.app)

To-do apps are the canonical overengineered demo. This one leans into that - and offloads the overengineering to you.

This is mostly an experiment, but I've put a bit of effort making it into a little platform people can play around with.

With the advances of LLMs being able to one shot some frontend code, I thought it would be a fun experiment to have a end-user facing vibe coding app, following the ideas of malleable software.

It allows users to change the full theme and design from a single prompt, but also and more importantly, allowing the end-users to add features such as categorisation or kanban.

Please let me know any feedback, try to break it etc.

I actually used this to manage a ski trip at 3,900m, and even on spotty mountain internet, it worked flawlessly. It genuinely helped me keep the trip organized while being able to tweak the UI to fit the alpine mood on the fly.

The "Vibe": Being able to one shot a feature like categorisation in the middle of a trip is a game changer.

Great job this is the future of personal software! thanks!

As a novelist, this was really helpful for planning my bean themed Amazon books. Thank you, from one bean to another.
