No signs of being AI-generated, and considering several parts of the [codebase of the website](https://github.com/rubyforgood/rubyforgood.org) haven't been touched since before ChatGPT was released, I think you might be barking up the wrong tree.

The apparent founder has replied by saying they ‘just updated today with AI’, but the comment seems to have been deleted since. Not sure whether it was supposed to be serious or ironic. Maybe the latter, since the last commit is two months old. Or maybe the repository hasn’t been updated yet.

Yes, I did comment, sorry for the confusion. And the person who made the comment isn't crazy. We have another branch, claude_design, that was deployed briefly for some folks to look at and review and when he looked at the site it was the brief window that it was deployed. On the off chance that you have a better design sense than claude, love feedback/help on the new design -- and a PR ;)

Honestly Claude is not great at front end design. So it’s more than an “off chance”. That being said I think the site looks fine.

Opus 4.6 and 4.7 can probably come up with something better than most open source contributors, given a few iterations.

We should figure out how to get more designers contributing to open source.

Give it time. Claude front end design will be the default soon as more bottom three quarters devs just vibecode it out.

Actually looking at it on mobile I see a few issues. Scroll on mobile interferes with the slider. Also some of the font sizes are too large and overflow. Is the source repository public? Or was the request for a PR hyperbole?

Edit: I see it was posted a few comments up.

Please stay off the AI. Leaning hard here sends the opposite message to what you’re intending. Seems the event is trying for say people matter more, lean into that.
