Changelog
What has changed on Vibe Code Awards. Only things you would notice — the plumbing stays in the commit history.
4 September 2026
- Changed
Makers are now Contributors
The same people, a clearer word. Old links to /makers still work.
- Added
A contact form
Questions about a listing, a claim, or anything else now reach us through a form rather than an email address buried in a page.
- Added
Listings you can claim
We can now add a project we did not build, credited to whoever made it. It is listed but sits out the competition until that person claims it and makes it theirs.
- Added
A privacy page, and a say over analytics
We now explain plainly what the site holds about you. Analytics stays switched off unless you accept the banner, and declining means it is never enabled.
- Added
Share a project and it looks like something
Links now unfurl into a card with your first screenshot, the name and the tagline, so posting your project somewhere actually shows it off.
- Changed
Start a review by picking a star
Tap a star on a project and you go straight into the review form with that rating already chosen.
- Changed
A menu button on smaller screens
The row of links under the header has become a menu button, giving the page back a whole row of space.
- Changed
Awards now sit together on the project page
Every medal a project has won is shown as a shelf of icons. Hover one for the day it was won.
- Changed
Projects stay eligible while people engage
The 30 day window now runs from the last upvote or review rather than from launch, so popular projects keep competing and quiet ones drop off.
- Added
Your reviews appear on your profile
Everything you have reviewed is collected on your public profile alongside your projects.
- Added
Five-star reviews
Rate any project you did not build, say what works well and what could be better, and see the score on every listing.
- Changed
Gold only, until there is more to compete with
Silver appears once a category has 100 listings and Bronze at 500. A podium of three means little when only three exist.
- Changed
Profiles now live at /@handle
- Added
Cumulative leaderboard
See who is ahead across a week, a month, a year or all time, alongside the daily medals.
- Fixed
Screenshots of media-heavy sites
Larger sites were failing to capture. They now work, and screenshots are stored far smaller than before.
- Changed
Move a project between App and Website
Picked the wrong category? Change it from your project page. Awards you already hold keep the category they were won in.
- Changed
Verified accounts can vote straight away
Signing in with Google or Microsoft is proof enough, so the 24 hour wait before your first vote is gone.
3 September 2026
- Added
An account menu on your avatar
Dashboard, projects, inbox and profile in one place, with admin tools for those who have them.
- Added
Reposition and crop your profile picture
Drag and zoom to choose exactly what appears in the circle instead of accepting whatever the upload gave you.
- Fixed
Submitting no longer loses what you typed
If a submission was rejected, the form came back empty. It now keeps every field so a mistyped URL costs you nothing.
- Changed
Light theme by default, with a dark mode toggle
2 September 2026
- Added
Award badges you can embed
Every medal comes with a share image and a badge for your own site, linking back to a permanent verification page.
- Added
Vibe Code Awards is live
Submit a vibe-coded app or website, upvote what you like, and the top of each category takes a medal at midnight UK time.
