19@sun@shitposter.world Where is the source code?
@sun@shitposter.world I spot 20 emdashes in the tiny readme file and you didn't even add the .claude folder to your gitignore.
Also I can't read what license your repo uses without being required to make an account on your forge.
0/10 vibecoded retroslop

I use Radicle now because scrapers I have to lock down gitea
@sun@shitposter.world You honestly even did retroslop wrong because it is a javascript based single page app. The reason people like retroslop is because it was simple and there was no client side code, just pure serverside rendered HTML using something like PHP. This isn't even retroslop it's just aestheticslop.
@sun@shitposter.world That's not the point I am trying to make here.
@lain@lain.com @sun@shitposter.world I'm not very happy with seeing my long term mutuals promote their vibecoded garbage on the timeline. I really don't want to have to block you guys. I want to coonvince you to actually start developing free software again.
@sun@shitposter.world @lain@lain.com The problem is that output from LLMs currently has a legally ambiguous status. You can not risk integrating it into any existing free software right now, so that's why a lot of projects, with some exceptions, choose not to allow it or heavily limit its usage only to specific tasks.
And on a personal note I think obvious LLM output is extremely tasteless. Seeing someone not even use some effort to at least even write their own README file makes me cringe. I always compare it to the same type of feeling you get when you see a corporate logo which uses Comic Sans.
@Phobos@eientei.org @lain@lain.com @sun@shitposter.world I really enjoy writing READMEs actually. It is like the one thing of your program that almost every user will see. Most people may never look at the code, but almost everyone will look at the README.
@Phobos@eientei.org @lain@lain.com @sun@shitposter.world Whenever I'm working on a project for a really long time I really look forward to writing the README because writing a README is like finally being able to tell the rest of your world about the thing you made.
@Phobos@eientei.org @lain@lain.com @sun@shitposter.world I do want to say I am also the particular kind of autist who enjoys editing wikipedia as well.
I like to argue that documentation is more important than the actual code often, because without proper documentation nobody knows how to use it. There's probably many software projects out there being really underappreciated simply because they lack proper documentation.
