What is CodeFree?
CodeFree is an offline vibe coding workshop held on weekends at a café by the Nansha passenger port in Guangzhou. Over a single day from 11:00 to 17:00, participants work with Claude Code and Codex to take one idea and build it into a real project on site, rather than studying programming syntax. The site describes itself as a personal vibe coding coach, with coffee included.
Each session seats five people at one table with the organizer, idoubi, and only starts once all five seats are filled; otherwise it moves to the next weekend. The day covers setting up tools and network access, practicing AI-assisted coding, breaking down requirements, building with ShipAny, and one-on-one help before release. Attendees also join a community afterwards to keep iterating.
Who it's for
- People with an idea but no coding background
- Beginners curious about Claude Code and Codex
