Vibe coded my first complete application for my Mac last night.

I wanted to read some comic strips from scans of a magazine in standalone book form. (Dragon - I even have the legal [1] CD-ROM archive.)

The TOC in the PDFs isn't 100% usable for this. So the generated app brings up a UI that displays the page where the TOC says the strip is and allows me to select the actual pages and then it builds a standalone compilation of the strip using waifu2x to upres the colour scans. Result looks great.

As a side effect I learnt how to build a customised PDF viewer in MacOS (super-easy!) and also got some idea of the kinds of internal structures used in magazine scans. It wasn't completely trivial - I started on the wrong foot with excessive amounts of completely unneeded rasterization of vector graphics. I wrote zero lines of code myself, just pasted ChatGPT's suggestions into my editor.

[1] Well WoTC themselves did have to deal with a lawsuit because they didn't have the right to redistribute their own magazine electronically.
