Serious question, how does one determine vibe coded or not?
5 comments

By vibe coding exposure, of course! Loader is something Claude likes to make that way as one example. Also, take a look at the code and comments (disregarding that readme is obvious aigen)

Only a human can see the disproportionality between the amount of work and the point of it. I, a human, tried it and thought: why does this exist? It's providing nothing. For example, there's a clock "app": but why and how? No human would consider the clock inside of this to be convenient.
The blue-purple gradient alone is a dead giveaway[0].

You can tell by the colors, the icons, the font...most Claude Code apps from scratch will look roughly like this.
The blue/purple gradient is a Claude favourite.

Also CSS animation with stuff fading in and moving in Y axis.
