Sorry but this seems like vibe coded slop

You cant search or change language

Idk what is the goal here, but maybe some analysis with graph would be better, like who has the most territory or something like that? You also might need to disclosure how you got this data

Hey there I made the site about a year ago or so because I noticed around my apartment is only Lawson's, so I got curious to see and find how common those types of places are. I used ai for CSS since I can't stand it. But this was a project mostly to learn and play with leaflet

I thought you were being unfair, but I don’t think you’re wrong anymore.

If you are referencing the size of the initial commit that's 99.9% geojson. 56k conbinis takes a lot of lines. Since I was using this as a project to learn leaflet, there is also code I copy pasted from plugin getting started sections and what not. Also some plugins were old and unmaintained so I opted to just put them statically in my assets so I could also modify them easily as needed.

No it’s the single large commit of, not just the data, but the rest of the logic in conjunction with it. You did not appear to use any version control in the development of your app, yet you use it to maintain the app. That’s a AI “smell”.

As an aside, we used to use the term “code smell” back in the day when trying to trace the source of problems in an app. The “smell” would tend to lead you to the bad code.

It doesn’t guarantee this is purely AI generated. It’s just weird, and when held up to the rest of the git repos of the last two years, it gives the appearance of AI generated.

The “slop” part is debatably unfair still, but having an app be AI generated tends to mean little effort was put into the up front requirements analysis before a selection of functionality made.

Again, just generalizations on my part. If it makes you feel better, I’m working on an AI generated app to quantify the amount of times someone’s work is dismissed as “AI slop” so I can present a case to the moderation team to get the HN guidelines updated to discourage ONLY calling something slop without any evidence of it.
