I was excited for Accelerator. All of the projects from last year[1] actually looked useful or I was already using them (htmx, dioxus, nuxt, datasette, trpc, strawberryql). Now it is a bunch of garbage LLM tools I will never use. Even their front page[2] looks infinitely worse than I remember and only says "Powering AI Advancements in the open." RIP GitHub Accelerator.

EDIT: they really did make the front page much worse[3]. The words on the original page actually sound like they were written by a human. No mention of uplifting the open source ecosystem anymore, not even pictures of OSS maintainers.
