Prosocial young men
Reaching boys before the algorithm answers first
For teams working on toxic masculinity, manosphere drift, and the loneliness underneath both.
Vibe Code for Good · for the people closest to the harm
A home for people using software to reduce harm and grow prosocial connection. Across gender-based violence, child safety online, radicalization, youth mental health, addiction, climate grief, and the loneliness underneath all of it. The first instrument is the Field Guide: it turns a cause into a behavior-first build plan, written in the voice of someone who has to live with the outcome.
Six questions · roughly four minutes · a document worth defending.
Most product tooling assumes you're growing a SaaS. Vibe Code for Good assumes you're trying to interrupt a harm or grow a connection. The output isn't a roadmap. It's a guide your team can argue with, share with a clinician, hand to a designer, and revisit when a build starts drifting away from the person it was supposed to serve.
A guide written for one person is more useful than a strategy written for a population. Scale is what happens after the first life is right.
Time on app is not the goal. The goal is the phone call made instead of doomscrolling. The friend texted instead of disappearing. The pause before the post.
Every guide names the failure modes you refuse to ship: contagion, grooming, surveillance of survivors, public humiliation, predatory monetization. Refusal is part of the design.
Not a persona. A specific human, in a specific week of their life.
A sentence so small it's defensible. So real it's testable.
Three to five visible moves. The choreography of the change.
Two or three failure modes you will not ship, even under pressure.
One number. One question. The honest signal you'll review monthly.
Load any of these into the Field Guide to see the shape of an honest answer. Edit, replace, or scrap them entirely. They're a starting posture, not a template.

Intimate partner violence
For advocates building tools that have to be quiet, leave no trace, and assume the device is being watched.
Youth mental health
For crisis teams designing for the moments between a hard thought and reaching out for help.
Answer slowly. The output is only as honest as the inputs. If you'd rather feel it first, load any of the worked examples above.
01 — The person
One person. Not a segment, not a cohort. Someone you could picture across a table.
