yeahhhh. my current read is that the people making it are good people making it for genuine reasons as a service to the world. So I really don't want to be harsh or discouraging, and I hope it succeeds. but they also read as being surrounded by silicon valley style culture a lot more than most indieweb projects and that is reflected in the tone of the marketing copy and other places.

& fwiw I'm a huge AI hater, but if we _must_ have it, using it to let people make tiny apps for them and their friends easier is about as good a use as there gets. Its a shame to lose the culture of craftsmanship around code itself but if you want to make something your friend will like that's cool even if I'd have done it differently.
