Vibe-coded a Chemistry Lab Simulator — open-sourcing it (alpha) Built a browser-based virtual chemistry lab using Claude Code, with the hope that it could help Cambridge AS Level (Class XI) students try experiments and attempt past paper questions without needing a real lab. Features were developed with continuous input and testing from an AS Level student. Students from other boards can also use the Free Lab section for individual chemical tests.
