Fortran Package Manager GUI

Developer Jacob Williams released VibeFPMGUI, a Python/PySide6 graphical interface for the Fortran Package Manager, which he says he built by vibe-coding with Claude Opus 5.5 and later extended with a rudimentary editor featuring build error highlighting. The project is hosted on GitHub under jacobwilliams/VibeFPMGUI.

Here’s a GUI for the Fortran Package Manager that I just vibe-coded using Claude Opus 5.5. Repo is: GitHub - jacobwilliams/VibeFPMGUI: A vibe-coded GUI for the Fortran Package Manager or something · GitHub

It’s just trivially easy to make whatever we want now. I spent almost no time on this. This one is written in Python/Pyside6 and has some nice features. I may expand it.

…and 10 min later i’ve had it add a rudimentary editor with build error highlighting. Amazing!
