It is ALL AI generated I can say that because I recently worked on a landing page and wrestled with Claude Opus the WHOLE way through. Claude has no idea how to write copy. Neither do any of the others, you have to edit with a fine-toothed comb.

To the project maintainer: don’t ask people to read a terrible AI generated sales pitch novella that quantifies your AI generated port against every UI framework out there.

Here’s the obvious giveaways:

“ 4. The many ways in” “ Python, four ways”

“ tkinter: all 7,846 public names of tkinter and ttk. Nine real programs behave identically on the standard library and on BUI.”

“ Rust: the web platform, natively”

Ugh it’s excruciating. You’re better off with a readme that shows a few screenshots and installation instructions.

i am way too lazy to write good documentation. BUt i also dont want to have anyone read claudette-prose so i noticed that

"down to earth" and "hobby-project" does a good job. its still not perfect but better than the vanilla output. eg. https://github.com/busssard/OpenRing
