I suspect the website is vibe-coded, like the tool itself.
- jmalicki 6mo agoI can forgive vibe code... It needs to execute if it works it's fine. Unedited vibe documentation is unforgivable.
- merlindru 6mo agothis is a bad faith take. i think the website is really cool and doesn't reek of slop at all. what makes you think differently?
- xeyownt 6mo agoSame. And who cares if it's vibe-coded or not. Since when do we care more on the how than on the what? Are people looking at how a tool was coded before using it, as if it would accelerate confidence?
- 1123581321 6mo agoIt’s a heuristic to approach a program a bit warily as the length of the documentation likely outpaces how thoroughly it was designed and tested.
- g947o 6mo agoI would not be surprised at all if it's vibe coded. I have seen exactly the same thing myself. I gave instruction to Claude to add a toggle button to a website where the value needs to be stored in local storage. It is a very straightforward change. Just follow exactly how it is done for a different boolean setting and you are set. An intern can do that on the first day of their job. Everything is done properly except that on page load, the stored setting is not read. Which can be easily discovered if the author, with or without AI tools, has a test or manually goes through the entire workflow just once. I discovered the problem myself and fixed it. Setting all of that aside -- even if this is not AI coded, at the least it shows the site owner doesn't have the basic care for its visitors to go through this important workflow to check if everything works properly.
