Varchive is a showcase of apps, websites, and experimental projects built with AI assistance, from passion projects to enterprise-grade apps. Varchive itself is built and maintained with assistance from Cursor and Codex. We've populated the archive with a few real-world apps—now it's time to submit yours.
Hey Product Hunters 👋 I'm Cameron Moll, co-maker of Varchive.
Varchive (‘vibe’ + ‘archive’) is built and maintained by yours truly and Adam Spooner with heavy assistance from Cursor and Codex, a healthy dose of ChatGPT and Perplexity for content summaries, and a dash of Unicorn Studio for WebGL background effects.
Cloudflare, Resend, and Vercel provide key parts of Varchive’s infrastructure.
We’ve spent a few hundred hours (yes, that many!) prompting and refining what Cursor has written, yet flaws remain. Rather than trying to eliminate these entirely we offer Varchive as a model of what signficant AI assistance can and cannot do.
We’re extremely proud of the end result. Lots of learnings along the way to say the least. We hope you’ll find inspiration on Varchive, and we especially hope you’ll submit your AI-assisted work.

@cameronmoll Huge respect for treating Varchive as a case study, not just a showcase. The honesty about hundreds of hours of prompting — and the decision to keep imperfections — really highlights what meaningful AI-assisted craft looks like today. Curious: after working this closely with Cursor and Codex, what’s one workflow you’d never go back to doing without AI, and one you’d still keep mostly human?

when you say "heavy assistance from Cursor and Codex" is it like team from cursor helped you build this like some partenership or you just used Cursor's and Codex's paid services and created this app through vibe coading? good concept though
Wow, Varchive is super cool! Love the idea of a curated AI-assisted build gallery. How are you planning to handle version control as projects evolve and AI tools improve?
Great idea! A nice place for curated AI inspiration, and nicely built! Like @chrismessina said, a Dribbble version of AI showcase project library!

Very cool to see a showcase built with Cursor and Codex showcasing apps built the same way.What kind of submissions are you most excited to see next — indie hacks, open-source tools, or enterprise use cases?
@pany_ai Enterprise especially. The industry needs to move beyond showcasing vibe-coded novelty apps to championing products where AI have played an important but measured role in world-class output.

Great inspiration for those who still doubt if the need a CS degree to start building their dream project!

It's like Dribbble, but for AI experiments...! Love this!
