By ambitious and impressive do you mean for Claude?

Because while cool this is clearly heavily vibe coded.

Actually, for me, being llm generated makes this more impressive because it marks the first real world example of a genuine new product built with ai that I have ever seen.

For 6 years I’ve been reading hype about amazing productivity boosts from this stuff, but until now the expected flood of cool new products never arrived. Just lots of tools and harnesses and swarm coordination stuff to help companies spend more money on the hype cycle.

But finally somebody actually built an app and released it. I call that a milestone.

I'm don't care. If it's good, it's good.

Agreed, but the days of software projects being ambitious or impressive are over.

Because they didn't write all the code by hand? Seems like an odd measurement for determining if a project is ambitious or impressive. Clearly this one is based on the replies here.

Ambition is still a human characteristic.

Agreed, this ended around the rise of Assembly. Machine code or bust!
