Wikivibe network: a catalog of developers, designers and AI specialists launched
Main chat
A chat for vibe coders: news, guides, live cases, marketplace, and finding executors.
Wikivibe has a new section called Нетворк. This is a catalog of people around AI development: vibcoders, designers, founders, analysts and customers who need performers. The section logically continues what Wikivibe has been doing since its inception – gathering practical knowledge about vibcoding – and adds a human dimension to it: now the site can not only learn, but also find each other.
Why Wikivibe needs a network
The knowledge base solves one problem - teaches to do. Network solves the other, it helps to do things together. Vibcoding as an industry is designed so that one skill to work with AI tools is often not enough: you need a designer who understands the specifics of AI products, a customer who is willing to pay for the result, or a partner for a joint project.
Until now, such connections in the Russian-speaking AI community were built chaotically through personal Telegram chats, one-time posts, random recommendations. The Wikivibe network formalizes this in one place: structured cards with a clear purpose of contact and without having to rake in dozens of chats.
How the section works
The network is built around a simple idea: each card answers one question: why is this person here? In the interface, this is reflected through the filter by purpose:
I am looking for clients - specialists who take orders and want to expand the customer base.
*Open to work – Those looking for a permanent position or project.
** Collaborations are people looking for partners for collaborative products or experiments.
**I hire customers and companies that need employees.
**Dating is a broader networking experience without a narrow commercial purpose.
In addition, cards are filtered by role (for example, “Vybkoder, former designer”) and by city – for those who care about personal contact or time zone.
How contact is opened: privacy by default
One of the fundamental questions of any catalog of people is what happens to personal data. Wikivibe decides that Telegram username does not fall into public HTML and public JSON. The contact button makes a server request only after the Telegram login.
This means that the username cannot be unloaded by parsing the page or through the API – it is given only to the authorized user at the time of clicking on the contact button. A simple but meaningful barrier against spambots and automatic contact gathering, which is notorious for open directories of freelancers.
Moderation: Why it’s important for directory quality
Cards go through a clear process: draft → moderation → published.
A new or edited questionnaire is again moderated so that spam, old contacts and random data do not appear in the catalog. This means that even the edited profile is not automatically published – rechecking applies to edits, not just the first publication.
The solution is reasonable: open directories without moderation usually degrade in a few months - filled with irrelevant cards, spam accounts and abandoned profiles. Moderation at the entrance is the only way to keep the quality of the output at a long distance.
How to create your own card
The process begins with the login via Telegram – this is both authorization and basic verification: the catalog immediately cuts off anonymous bots.
Next, fill out the card. Judging by the structure of the filters, it is important to immediately decide on two things: what is the purpose of your presence in the network (seeking customers, open to work, want to collaborate or hire) and how to formulate the role so that it is recognizable and specific – formulations like “Vybkoder, former designer” work better than the general “Developer” or “Specialist”.
After sending the questionnaire goes to moderation and is published after verification.
You can create a card on the wikivibe.ru/ru/network/new/ page.
For whom this section is useful right now
Solo-vibcoders and freelancers. If you take orders for AI-development – a card on the network – this is another channel where you can be found, and the audience there is already thematically filtered: these are people interested in vibcoding, not random traffic.
Designers working with AI products. The intersection of design and AI is a growing niche (see the material about Vibe Design 2026), and networking is a natural place for specialists at this junction to declare themselves.
**Startups and customers. ** If you need a contractor for an AI project, the “hire” filter in combination with the role filter saves time compared to posting a vacancy in shared chats.
For those looking for a partner for a joint product. The “collaboration” filter closes a niche for which there is usually no separate channel - most platforms are sharpened either for hire or for freelancing, but not for finding an equal partner in the project.
What does this mean for Wikivibe
Starting a network is a logical next step for a resource that started as a knowledge base on vibcoding. Knowledge base answers the question "how to do", network - to the question "with whom to do". Together, this transforms Wikivibe from a reference book into a more complete ecosystem around AI development in Russian.
The section is still in the status of a living prototype – this means that the functionality will be supplemented as the number of questionnaires and feedback from the first users grows.
How to get started
Whether you work in AI development, design, analytics or are looking for specialists for your project, the fastest way to evaluate a network is to create your own card. It will take a few minutes: log in via Telegram, fill out a card indicating the purpose and role, send for moderation.
