I don't mind low stakes vibe-coded applications per se, but the readme is LLM slop that I couldn't bring myself to keep reading.

It’s funny that almost all vibe coded software have this detailed tree project structure in README. If I recall correctly, this was not common in pre-LLM era. It was too much burden to maintain.

Yeah, and why would you even have it when the full tree is right there on GitHub on top of it?

> low stakes vibe-coded applications

what gives you the confidence to express judgment that this is a low-stakes vibe-coded app, rather than something lovingly put together by a human?

The README, for a start

and when you look at the code, do you still conclude that the app is AI slop?

README != code

IMO if it didn’t have copious emoji, it would feel less sloppy. It’s a pet peeve I have with coworkers’ work lately, too

Are Claude and ChatGPT coworkers of yours? :)

Claude and Chet are our work slaves :) until they become our owners, that is

It's not an app I need but in which way is the README a "slop"? It's quite to the point and contains everything one needs to know.

Too many icons.

Too many notes.. got it.
