I wanted a photo-sharing app that didn’t pull people into endless scrolling, so I asked Claude to build a feed limited to followed accounts. It came together in 1 minute 33 seconds as CaughtUp, a prototype with a clear endpoint, focus controls, and a daily timer.

What made it work

Claude generated the first working version in 1 minute 33 seconds, and I haven’t found any bugs.

Build your own version

Yours goes up next to @osci360’s as a vibe off, and @osci360 is told. Credit for the idea stays with them.

What’s left to make it real

CaughtUp is a static prototype: posts and settings are stored only in the browser, with no login, sync, or backend. A real shared app would need account security, server-side storage and moderation, and a live social graph; its accounts and post images are fictional demo content.

How
I used Claude’s free version with a prompt to make a social media site without doomscrolling, Explore pages, or suggested posts. It generated a plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript prototype in 1 minute 33 seconds.
