I love the real feedback tbh, I am still learning, and want to learn as much as possible. Would love if you can review it and tell me bluntly either in the repo or here the things that should be improved. I would love to learn more from you and get better :D

I'm not going to review it in full, sorry. Reviewing is so much more effort compared to producing something with AI. But don't let me deter you, keep on learning and keep on building.

I wish I had the possibilities to learn and build on such a large scale when I started out. AI is a blessing and a curse I guess.

My own early projects were most definitely crap, and I made the exact same mistakes in the past. Honestly my first attempts were surely worse. But my projects were also tiny and incomplete, so I never published them.

However: What little parts I did publish as open-source or PRs were meticulously reviewed before ever hitting send, and I knew these inside and out and they were as good as I could make it.

Vibe-coded software is complete but never as good as you could make it, so the effort in reviewing it is mostly wasted.

I guess what I'm trying to say is I'm a bit tired of seeing student-level projects on HN / Github cosplaying as production ready software built by an experienced engineer. It used to be possible to distinguish these from the README or other cues, but nowadays they all look professional and are unintentionally polluting the software space when I'm actually looking for something.

Please understand that this is not specifically directed at you, it's pent up frustration from reading HN projects over the last months. Old guy yelling at clouds.

The README is really annoying.

You used to be able to tell so easily what was a good well looked after repo by viewing the effort and detail that had gone into the README.

Now it's too easy to slop up a README.

it is incredible that people pointed out very specifically what's wrong and you fell back to weaponized incompetence to shift the intellectual and mental burden of reviewing the code to outsiders instead of thinking for yourself. this is the problem with relying on LLM,s instead of thinking for yourself you just ask LLMs, and now other real people "idk just fix it for me make it work". do you really not see the problem with this?

I appreciate that attitude. Keep it up.

unlikely to get that from a throwaway

You can always try right?
