BikeMap the vibe generation

Way back in the Internet of Things I built this bikemap with the help of Tom Taylor and Andy Huntington. It shows which of the tfl bike stations near our flat have got bikes. (And when I say 'with the help of'' I mean I thought of it and Tom and Andy did everything)

Now, in the Internet of Vibecoding I've built a new one with the help of Replit. It shows which of the stations near our flat have got ebikes. (My knees are older now)

It's a web app:

And, to make it glanceable, it's a TRMNL thing:

Again, when I say 'with the help of' I thought of it and Replit did everything.

EXCEPT, when I first got it going, Replit made this :

And you could see why it would. That's what map things look like these days. And it gave it a name and added neat little details and all sorts of extra things.

My contribution was to take all that away because I didn't need it. I just need a list. I know where those stations are, I don't need a map.

That feels like it's going to be a vibecoding thing; stripping away the cruft of typical apps, the design patterns you need when building things for lots of people. Reducing to the essential elements you need when you're building for yourself and you know what you already know.
