I was horrified looking at the commit history. The whole project was authored by Claude and it spawned out of a single commit. Really, check it out

I'm pretty sure a good portion of Canva is vibe-coded too. You could argue Canva has tests, QA, etc. But somehow I feel we just tend to associate quality to commercial products.

:) this is the truth, every single developer I knew moved away from coding by hand every single one.

Well you don‘t know me, but you can still feel free to count me against your stats

Well seems like you don't actually know any good developer

No-one is writing code anymore tbh

old workflow is dead

tbf we've been trying to kill it for a long time, look at every dev product ever


The Attribution Assurance License is a particularly bold choice for a repo of code the author presumably didn't write

Interestingly, Claude has generated a LICENSE file which demands commits & changes are GPG signed. But the repo's license file has no GPG metadata (nor does the rest of the app), so it's impossible for anyone to commit to, extend, or meaningfully change this code without violating the repo's license.

In short, nobody can commit to, change, or meaningfully adjust this repository while adhering to its license.


For the millionth time people, just use an existing license! They’re really good at covering the things that are actually worth worrying about and that can actually be covered by a license! If you “get creative” with this area of your project, it’s easy to mess up!

As if someone wanted.

I think that sould be obvious without even looking at the code... Like what artcraft did with adobe, its now viable to offer apps completely free by leveraging 100% ai. You could argue the code quality doesnt matter much as long as it works (for local apps security is less a concern).

Also, when building similar style apps, I often don't even start git until the app is in a stable state. The earliest code is often worthless and the overall direction not stable.


If the app was vibe coded, it's commit standards are irrelevant.

More likely the author squashed the commit history.

W8. You folks are reading code?

does it work?

[flagged]


Vibe coded or not , proper engineering , testing , fixing , iteration is still needed . Your don't have one , full of crashes and bugs.

Actually, the rate of AI usage among the free and open source projects I most respect is quite low.

> people no longer code by hand its over.

Yes some still do.


That's not true. Look at Emacs, look at GCC

Sad little ai driver.

do you mean people no longer code without a LLM proxy? i think they are still doing it "by hand".

Pretty standard at this point, especially for non-critical open source projects like this...
