Ashen One Vibe Codes Thanksgiving Flight Predictor with AI in 20 Minutes

In the fast-paced world of tech and crypto, where ideas can turn into reality overnight, content creator and crypto marketer Ashen (@ashen_one) just demonstrated the power of "vibe coding" with a timely Thanksgiving project. In a recent tweet, he shared how he whipped up a website that predicts flight delays for the holiday season and even helps users find the nearest turkey vendor based on their location—all in just 20 minutes on his phone while shopping at Target.

Ashen, known for his roles in the crypto space including marketing at Ember Protocol—a structured vaults DeFi platform on Sui—and founding Telaga Charity, a Solana-powered nonprofit focused on verifiable donations for food, water, and education, as well as advising Poke.fi, a crypto-enabled trading card game vendor, brings a unique blend of creativity and blockchain expertise to his projects.

The app, dubbed the Thanksgiving Flight Delay Predictor, features a whimsical UI with cartoon turkeys piloting planes, complete with prompts like "Will you make it to dinner? Or are you destined for airport turkey sandwiches?" Users input their flight details, and the tool spits out a delay prediction— in one demo, a +59 minute delay with a humorous note about waiting for pumpkin pie to cool. If delays strike, the Turkey Locator kicks in, using geolocation to suggest nearby stores for last-minute turkey buys.

What makes this build stand out is the tech behind it. Ashen used Replit, a cloud-based coding platform, to develop the site on the go. But the real magic came from Google's Gemini 3 AI model (likely referring to an advanced version of Gemini), which generated nearly all the UI elements, images, and even videos in a single prompt. This rapid prototyping echoes the "ship it fast" mentality that's rampant in the meme token community, where tokens can launch on vibes alone and go viral overnight.

In meme token ecosystems, quick and fun tools like this could serve as marketing gimmicks or community engagement features. Imagine a meme coin themed around holidays, using AI-generated apps to boost holder interaction or provide utility. Ashen's project highlights how AI is democratizing development, allowing blockchain practitioners to experiment and iterate without heavy resources—perfect for the agile world of DeFi and memes.

The tweet garnered quick praise from the community, with replies calling it "next level coding" and admiring the "just ship it" energy. One user joked about relocating to Ashen's house for more builds, while another highlighted the wild feat of creating it on a phone at a store.

This kind of innovation isn't just fun; it's a glimpse into how AI and blockchain are converging to enable faster, more accessible creations. For meme token enthusiasts, it's a reminder that the next big hit could be coded in minutes, fueled by AI and a dash of holiday spirit.

Check out the original tweet and demo video to see it in action. If you're traveling this Thanksgiving, who knows—maybe Ashen's tool could save your dinner plans.
