CD Plates
Vibe coded an entire iOS app that lets you instantly identify Swiss diplomatic license plates.
View on App StoreThis started as a curiosity project. In Switzerland, diplomatic license plates follow a number system that indicates the country or organisation behind the car. After seeing them around Geneva, I wanted a simple way to identify them instantly.
As a first serious vibe coding experiment, I built a lightweight iOS app that lets users quickly look up diplomatic plates and see which country they belong to. The project was built rapidly using AI-assisted development and shipped as a simple utility focused on speed and usability.
A single Reddit and LinkedIn post helped drive the first wave of downloads. The app now sees regular usage locally with thousands of lookups every month. If you are curious, you can also find CD Plates on the App Store.
