alt Hacker NewsGive the fact this project sprung out of nowhere an hour ago, has one commit and no obvious history beyond that - I must ask, was this vibe-coded?

Probably. The website does look too good though, none of the design cruft ("eyebrows") that LLMs like. But the last design I let it do was from opus 4.7 or gpt 5.3.
The post comment here is 100% packed with LLMisms, so yes.
There's a continuum between vibe coded and directed LLM, I guess we'll see which it is.
Obviously they used AI at some point in the project, the question to you is what is your definition of vibe coding and how does it discredit the effort they did put into it?
The website is obviously and gratingly LLM-voiced. I don't know how people aren't tired of paragraphs like this yet:
"Visual FoxPro is a 32-bit program, and that decides more than it appears to. It is why a table stops at two gigabytes, why a memo file stops at two gigabytes, and why a big report runs out of memory on a machine with plenty to spare. The limits are signed 32-bit numbers buried in the file handling, not a licensing decision anybody made."
and
"The editor checks what you type through that very compiler, so what it underlines and what the runtime refuses cannot drift apart."
Like, what? Who talks like that?
The website at least. Just look for the word "not". LLMs love writing things like "it's not ice cream, is pasta", "you get a full dog, not a cat".
