Am I the only one who is getting tired of all these LLM generated landing pages with their hallmark indigo backgrounds/gradients, unnecessary and tasteless transitions, and meaningless marketing sell points?

Of course you're not the only one, but:

Plus the endless emojis and the cards with images completely missing from the bottom section where you're supposed to "see it in action."

It shows a lack of respect for yourself and your potential readers when you build something like this.

I thought the same thing when I saw this! Great tool but clearly generated by LLM (Claude code?). It’s interesting that it’s so obvious. I wonder if human taste will evolve to dislike styles that are LLM generated.

Yes, I had to do a double take to realize this wasn't from anthropic.

It might be boring but it's easily understandable - I know where to click, where to look etc.

It's kind of a minimalism; it's not pleasing (to me) but it works

I'd argue it's actually the exact opposite of minimalism. Just an abundance of colours, emojis, and marketing jargon. It shows a lack of taste.

Yeah definitely feels vibe coded. I am so sick of the overuse of icons.
