alt Hacker NewsThese one shot vibecoded sites are always a complete visual headache. Endless clutter, pointless filler text all over the place, and zero regard for actual usability.

There's a "unsloppify site" toggle on top but the unsloppified version looks exactly as vibe coded as the regular one.
I love how the 'unsloppify' button changes the theme but nothing else, and also messes with the layout enough that you can't actually toggle it without scrolling and repositioning your cursor.
I had to re-read a few times to figure out what the site was for and about. Still not sure I understand but that's the problem for them. If I'm a customer, I'm gone cause I can't figure out what it's for and I see this far too often nowadays for a lot of technical sites.

Sure, but have you seen the Typesafe.ai site itself? I think this is meant as a homage.
I'm soon going back to pure html, jesus christ
There is an "Unsloppify site" button which makes it a bit better.
I.. kind of like it? Aware that it isn't great and that I'm in the minority.
It's nice to see some variation in websites. Makes each one feel so special.
Gonna need these people to at least prefix their prompts with "You are Edward Tufte and have an allergy to chartjunk".
What’s really hilarious is that there’s an “un-slop site” button that does absolutely nothing to un-sloppify the site
I'm not sure which version is the "unsloppified" one, perhaps it's derived from https://github.com/AlexSchmalex97/The-Nothing-Button
The unslopify toggle is pretty funny though lol
And yet, it makes the front page of HN. The bar is low.
The irony here being:
- the "vibecoded site" was not vibecoded.
- when you turn "vibecoded off" on this vibecoded site, you get standard Claude slop
Nasty little site, between that and pretending LLMs are the same as Jev.
I see you've edited your comment to remove the part about the vibecoded website being disrespectful towards humans. As a human I find these types of comments about the vibecoded websites, when the submission is not about the website, disrespectful.
Do you have anything to say about OpenJev, which is not about the website?
AI output right now is like a final exam essay response from an anxious student. Instead of being edited for focus and clarity, it's anti-edited to cram in as many details as possible. Instead of worrying that the reader might get bored or confused, it assumes that the reader has no choice but to read the whole thing, even if they get a headache. It doesn't care about picking the most useful perspective on a problem; it cares about covering every possible angle that a grader might use to dock points from it.
It's basically the work you get from a smart, diligent person who is oblivious to any shared goal and approaches every assignment with a CYA attitude.
