Those videos of the actual webcam feeds are AI-generated, right? If I were you I would at least use the videos of real people from the original demo, if not try to have another live demo. Maybe not the highest priority but it does affect the first impression of the product and whether people assume it's a vibecoded mess under the hood or not.

Anyways, is source available anywhere?

Yep, the faces in the demo video are AI right now, mostly for speed. I built a little system to direct / record it but real faces coming soon too!

Real faces as in your friends or actors, or real faces as in unsuspecting users? (I guess the first.)

Just friends!

Haha cool I figured that's all it was.

mildly interesting detail: some of the videos also include an audio track - and because some of the videos are mirrored in time, you get to hear demonic voices:

(and I really like this audio-less one: https://flat-social-bucket.lon1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/p...)

Are developers still in denial about the capabilities of coding agents, "vibecoded mess under the hood or not"? If the application works, do you think most users are thinking about the code quality?

OP actually just answered my question with no problem, we're all good bro. We don't need pro-AI evangelists inserting themselves.
