Unfortunately Codex doesn’t seem to be able to export the entire session as markdown, otherwise I’d suggest encouraging people to include that in their Show HNs. It’s kind of nuts that it’s so difficult to export what’s now a part of the engineering process.
I don’t have anything against vibe coded apps, but what makes them interesting is to see the vibe coding session and all the false starts along the way. You learn with them as they explore the problem space.
mthurman pointed me to https://static.simonwillison.net/static/2025/claude-code-mic... - is that what you have in mind?
Yeah! That’s great. Having those alongside vibe coded apps would make them way more interesting.
I've been tinkering away on one of these myself, https://rockstar.ninja. I expect there are a hundred others out there, going to be interesting to see what the end shape of these tools is.
You can export it with DataClaw. By default it outputs jsonl and publishes to HuggingFace, but you can also do analysis locally with it.
I don't think it's hard to export, on the contrary its all already saved it your ~/.claude which so you could write up a tool to convert the data there to markdown.
