Why it worked

The video combines a trendy tech concept ('Vibe Coding') with a relatable, practical use case, making complex automation feel accessible and fun.

Vibe Coding things in the real world Part 1 - NFC Stickers So this is an NFC sticker and you can kind of program these stickers to do whatever you want them to do. And as someone who has built multiple websites and multiple apps over the past couple months, I can see that software is becoming so boring. So I wanna see what's possible in the real world. So these stickers are about 10 cents each and there's a tiny chip inside that you can tap your phone on and it can pretty much do anything that you want to do. So Tobi actually told me about these. So go check him out cause he's doing some pretty insane stuff with them. The first one that I wanna build with this is for pets. So you feed your dog and you tap the sticker and then everyone in the house knows that the pet has been fed. And I wanna build this. So let's build it. Okay, so let me show you where we're at now. So we have this 70 line javascript that every time we run it sends a message that the dog has been fed at this time. So we just have to set this endpoint to the sticker. And then every time we tap the sticker, it's gonna send a telegram message. Like + Follow
