Vibecode Nsketch AI
track this build5 steps, step by step0%The personal core is a focused prompt-to-media workbench over one or two user-supplied model APIs, and that is a credible weekend build. A true Nsketch AI replacement is not: the subscription bundles a fast-changing model catalog, credits, queues, media storage, templates, voice and motion workflows, safety, and failure recovery.
You are building a lean indie version of Nsketch AI. Create the following project files first, then implement the application by following them. Keep the files updated as decisions change. Do not collapse this into a single README or prompt. ===== README.md ===== # Nsketch AI indie build ## Goal Build the smallest trustworthy replacement for the core Nsketch AI workflow for one developer or a tiny team. ## Scope Submit a prompt to one user-supplied media API, track the image or video job, review outputs in a private gallery, and export files with reproducible settings. ## Quick start 1. Install the documented dependencies. 2. Copy `.env.example` to `.env`. 3. Run the development command chosen during implementation. 4. Complete the acceptance checks in `BUILD_PLAN.md`. ## Honest limits This build deliberately does not replace: - a broad, continuously updated catalog of image, video, voice, and motion models - managed queues, concurrency, credits, retries, and provider failover - hosted media storage, delivery, and cross-device asset history - ready-made viral templates, editing utilities, and creator workflows - production moderation, consent controls, support, and commercial operations If those capabilities are essential, use ComfyUI instead of pretending the gap is solved. ===== AGENTS.md ===== # Agent instructions - Optimize for a working, understandable weekend build. - Prefer the fewest moving parts that satisfy the brief. - Do not invent cryptography, security guarantees, APIs, or compliance claims. - Keep secrets out of source control and logs. - Add focused tests for destructive, security-sensitive, and data-loss paths. - Run the project checks before declaring the build complete. - Record any deliberate shortcut in the README under "Tradeoffs". ===== BUILD_PLAN.md ===== # Build plan ## Original build brief Build me a private AI media workbench to replace Nsketch AI. Requirements: - A local web app on port 4317: Node.js 22, TypeScript, Fastify, React, and Vite. The server owns @fal-ai/client; the browser never receives the provider key. - Implement exactly two workflows: text-to-image with fal-ai/nano-banana-2 and text-to-video with fal-ai/ltx-2.3/text-to-video/fast. Accept prompt and aspect ratio. - Submit queued jobs server-side and save the provider request ID before polling. Resume unfinished jobs after restart; show queued, running, success, failed, and canceled. - Store prompts, endpoints, parameters, state changes, cost estimates, errors, and local output paths in SQLite via better-sqlite3. Download files to media/YYYY-MM-DD/. - The local page has a submission form and searchable gallery with compare, favorite, rerun, download, delete, and JSON metadata export actions. - Read FAL_KEY from .env and ship .env.example. Validate inputs, use safe filenames, and show estimated per-job plus month-to-date API spend before a submission. - Bind to localhost only. No accounts, billing, telemetry, or analytics; everything stays on my machine except prompts sent to fal.ai. Tests use a fake provider and spend nothing. - Out of scope: the full model catalog, voice cloning, lip sync, motion transfer, social templates, hosted storage, public galleries, provider failover, and mobile apps. - Include a README with setup, current endpoint costs, data and backup paths, provider safety policies, and a plain warning that every real generation spends money. ## Required capabilities - Node.js 22 - fal.ai API key - SQLite - local media storage - FFmpeg ## Delivery order 1. Scaffold the smallest runnable application and document its commands. 2. Implement the primary data model and core workflow. 3. Add validation, safe failure states, and persistence. 4. Cover the critical path with automated tests. 5. Exercise a clean install from the README and fix every missing step. ## Done when - A new user can go from clone to first successful workflow using only the README. - The core workflow works without paid infrastructure unless the brief requires it. - Tests cover the highest-risk behavior. - Known limitations are explicit rather than hidden. ===== .env.example ===== # Copy to .env and document every variable when it is introduced. # Never put real credentials in this file. APP_ENV=development # Add only values required by the selected implementation.

Keep domain logic independent from delivery frameworks and vendors. ## Production baseline - Configuration: validated at startup with safe local defaults where possible. - Security: least privilege, input validation, secret redaction, rate limits on abuse-prone paths, and no invented security primitives. - Data: explicit schema and migrations, transactional writes where integrity matters, backup and restore instructions. - Integrations: adapters around third-party providers, idempotent webhook or job processing, bounded retries, and timeouts. - Observability: structured logs with request or operation IDs, an error-tracking hook, and health/readiness checks where a server exists. - Quality: unit tests for domain rules, integration tests at module boundaries, and one end-to-end critical-path test. ## Decision records For each major dependency, document why it was chosen, its failure mode, and how it can be replaced.

Contain the issue without destroying evidence or user data. 2. Record the timeline and affected scope. 3. Rotate exposed secrets and revoke compromised sessions or credentials. 4. Restore from a verified source when needed. 5. Document the root cause, remediation, and regression test. ## Launch constraint Do not market omitted Nsketch AI capabilities as implemented. The v1 non-goals in `PRODUCT.md` remain user-visible limitations until they are deliberately delivered.

Vibecode Nsketch AI
Kinda. The core of Nsketch AI is buildable in a weekend with the prompt on this page, but there are real gaps: a broad, continuously updated catalog of image, video, voice, and motion models, managed queues, concurrency, credits, retries, and provider failover. Read the honest list above before committing.
How much does Nsketch AI cost?
Nsketch AI costs about $9/month (Starter, checked 2026-07-31), which is $108 per year.
What do I lose by replacing Nsketch AI?
Honestly: a broad, continuously updated catalog of image, video, voice, and motion models; managed queues, concurrency, credits, retries, and provider failover; hosted media storage, delivery, and cross-device asset history; ready-made viral templates, editing utilities, and creator workflows; production moderation, consent controls, support, and commercial operations. If any of those are load-bearing for you, keep paying.
Is there an open-source alternative to Nsketch AI?
Yes: ComfyUI (Image, video and audio models in one reusable graph; creator-ready only after you survive the nodes.) SwarmUI (A friendlier local studio for image, video and audio models, with deeper workflows one tab away.) NodeTool (Images, video, speech, audio effects and motion share one local canvas and timeline; cloud models are optional BYOK.) All 4 curated free alternatives are at vibecodeit.com/nsketch-ai/alternatives. The prompt is for when you want it exactly your way.
