What is VibeCheck and how does it work?

It's a free, satirical web app (try vibe-check.dev or wherever it's hosted) that mocks productivity trackers. Features like Infinity Pomodoro and AI guilt trips run in your browser — no signup, just chaos.

Is VibeCheck a real productivity tool or just a joke?

100% April Fools joke for DEV community. Built with pro stacks, but designed to kill your output. Perfect for burnt-out coders needing a laugh.

Can I build something like VibeCheck with Gemini AI?

Yep — hook the Gemini API for custom snark. Use Next.js + Tailwind for the aesthetic. Source code likely on GitHub; fork and vibe your own way.
