Getting Started
Create Your Account
VibeCodes supports three ways to sign up:
- GitHub OAuth — one click, pulls your profile picture and name automatically
- Google OAuth — same one-click experience with your Google account
- Email & Password — traditional signup with email verification
After signing up, you can edit your profile to add a bio, change your display name, upload a custom avatar, and optionally add your GitHub username and contact info.
Explore the Feed
The Feed is where all public ideas live. You can:
- Search ideas by title or description
- Filter by status (Open, In Progress, Completed, Archived)
- Filter by tags to find ideas in your area of interest
- Sort by newest, most popular (upvotes), or most discussed (comments)
- Browse with pagination — 10 ideas per page
Your Dashboard
Once logged in, the Dashboard is your home base. It shows:
- Stats — four cards showing ideas created, collaborations, upvotes received, and tasks assigned to you
- Active Boards — your 5 most recently active kanban boards with per-column task counts
- My Tasks — tasks assigned to you across all boards, sorted by due date urgency, with labels, checklist progress, and due date badges
- My Ideas — your 5 most recent ideas with vote/comment/collaborator counts
- Collaborations — up to 5 ideas you've joined as a collaborator
- Recent Activity — latest votes, comments, collaborator joins, status changes, and @mentions
Submit Your First Idea
Click New Idea in the navbar to create your first idea. Each idea has:
- Title — a short, descriptive name
- Description — markdown-supported, explain your vision in detail
- Tags — up to 10 tags to categorize your idea
- GitHub URL (optional) — link to a related repository
- Visibility — public (visible to everyone) or private (only you and collaborators)
Tip: Use markdown in your description to add headings, code blocks, lists, and links. It renders beautifully on the idea detail page.
