| The overuse of blue and purple gradient fills on the landing page is a telltale sign of AI slop. I’m sorry, maybe it’s shallow, but that makes me close the tab. |

| haha! Fair point! We are three old school programmers and have no idea on design, so yes for the website ONLY, we let Claude designed for us... If any designers come over to the comment section, we would love to hear from you! We'd love to improve our website with your advice. On the other hand, the code, we started coding this more than one year ago and we have poured our souls on it. If you can bare the AI obvious styling front page, I think you would like the framework |

| ▲ | cadamsdotcom 2 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | My main advice would be to get rid of anything extraneous in the site. Animations should serve a purpose - for example, gamifying with a fireworks animation is useful if you think that communicates what you want about the product. Engineers know that rainbow borders on boxes are tricksy to implement but a cinch for agents. So rainbow borders are a loud way to say “we didn’t pay close attention to what we were building when we built this” - or to be a bit more kind, “we shipped our first draft”. It’s just like reading code. Why would you want any distractions? | | |
| ▲ | wtfdeveloper 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | THANKS! Well, we are very experienced developers, which is code for.. we are old... Old as from the time where websites had banners moving across the page, so that might have influenced our choices. But these suggestions are gold to us as we have no expertise on design, so thanks AGAIN | | |
| ▲ | cadamsdotcom an hour ago | parent [-] | | You’re welcome! Happy that it was helpful and not tooooo unkind.. Design can tickle different bits of your brain compared to code! Quite often I can’t pin down and name just what’s wrong (those with the vocab can, of course) But if you can describe the feeling in the back of your mind to an agent you’re golden. |

| Don't judge a book by its cover. In this case, a library by its website. |

| ▲ | wtfdeveloper an hour ago | parent | next [-] | | Thanks! We are definitely learning from this post about things to do, is by far not our strong side | |
| ▲ | hungryhobbit an hour ago | parent | prev [-] | | You should absolutely do that! If a library can't even be arsed to present itself in a reasonable way, how can you possibly trust it to do real work well? And to be clear, I have a public website created (and designed) by Claude. But the key difference is that I used my brain, and iterated with Claude to make the style not look like AI slop. Like anything with AI, you can't just fire off a prompt and expect a good anything (code, design, whatever). You have to put effort in ... and all signs show the people behind this library aren't. |
