I see a lot of "vibe-coding" related articles, but I don't see a lot of shipped projects/products via "vibe-coding". I would like to find some examples instead of this kind of articles ?

I think if I was actually shipping a real product to real customers I would avoid bragging about how I vibe-coded it. Seems like that would bring up some quality / security / pricing discussions that my salespeople would have a tough time navigating. At least for now I think those customer concerns would be justified. Oh you vibed this out in an afternoon? Why does it cost $199/seat? Why don’t I just build it myself?
Yesterday I released a Rust-with-Python-bindings package that was mostly coded with Claude 4.5 Opus: https://github.com/minimaxir/icon-to-image
I'll write about the process after I've released a few more things as I have some disagreements with the current discourse.
There are a ton of vibecoded tools on simon's website.
Whether those are substantial enough to count as shipped projects is a matter of debate

If you go on YouTube you can find a lot of vibe coders doing interviews where they drop a brief mention of their SaaS products. I think the main reason they are not well publicized is because they obviously have no moat. If I speak to a really big audience and tell them my SaaS which I vibe coded in 1 day is earning 10k/mo, then I'll have 10 competitors by tomorrow.
But if you want a "citation needed" name of someone shipping vibe coded apps and making money off it: on YouTube, Ed Yonge, or many of the guests on Starter Story.
