what makes you think they are abandoned? Maybe they are in-use...? Maybe the landscape shifted to where niche tools like that aren't monetizable?
- applfanboysbgon 5mo ago
  The landing page is still a "join the waitlist" placeholder and there hasn't been a single commit since one week after they announced it, ten months ago. Together with the entire repo and the ShowHN post itself being vibed through and through, it seems apparent that putting any amount of human effort into that project was never on the agenda. Which naturally leads one to wonder, what makes this project different?

    it's YC we are talking about, everything is vibed through.

  1. It's unfinished 2. Textbook slop dump and run we can see one big initial push, not too suspect. Then a few superficial updates, and then nothing for months. Unfinished, broken, and ostentiably abandond due to being an unmaintaible nightmare as vibeslop tends to be.

We shouldn't trust the new project. Right from [1] you linked to: > The problems I kept running into: > - I'm lazy. That should tell you all you need to know about this super hype new fantastic GitHub written in Rust ! ! ! !

This is unfair, and the vibe-coded swipe is unnecessary. Why would anyone continue working on a project if it's not seeing any adoption or interest? Many large successful apps were borne out of sharp pivots - Slack comes to mind.

  I would perhaps be less inclined to make a point out of the vibe coding if they had not literally put "anti-AI" in the title as a key point of their marketing (although Dang removed it). I think it's absolutely fair to point out the hypocrisy and disingenuity of marketing a vibe-coded product in that way.

    It is entirely reasonable that you could use AI to build a product with no AI features. Why is that hypocritical? Especially for a product like a GitHub -- it's a reasonable take to say "AI is useful tool to produce code, but I don't want 851 random "Ask AI!" adornments all over my website when I just want to read the code."

What's wrong with pivoting until you PMF?
- sbarre 5mo ago
  Maybe ask the people who buy in early but are left behind by the pivot
