I hate how I can now tell a website is made with claude within 2s of looking at it.

It looks good, but since the design is becoming so ubiquitous in the small personal projects space (elsewhere as well, but I think it is most noticeable here) it is also boring.

I've vibecoded a few websites for my own use that look very similar to this. If I designed them myself, I would (in those cases) not put up enough effort so they would be much less refined, but also less boring?

edit: The expand/collapse behaviour of the table cells is quite strange. So the design is not that okay, afterall.

That website is so low effort that 2s is actually long to figure it out. Very sure that it is robot upvoted.

Edit: I live in the cheese triangle, France - Switzerland - Italy.

Not everyone votes based on effort. The idea might be interesting to people and provoke discussion no matter how much time OP (?) spent creating it.
Vibe voting. No brain cells required.
This doesn't make any sense.
But, if the information is factual, does it matter if it is designed and coded by Claude? I was interested in information, not really the website design.
The challenge is in knowing how factual the information is. Might be unfair, but in my head people using AI to quickly make a thing are very unlikely to spend a lot of time validating and verifying information. The time saved could be spent making sure it’s legit, but that rarely happens.
