As someone new to this site, I understand wanting to keep the AI Slop at bay, but for some of us, it's been a boon to get our ideas into an actual working application. I have decades of IT/Network/Enterprise experience, but creating and writing a complex tool would have been well beyond my abilities or patience. I had a friend say that AI is a "scourge on the intellectually lazy" and I couldn't really refute that, but I had to add that it is a boon to a lazy intellectual, which I consider myself to be.

I'm not saying don't use AI. It's alright to use AI in my books, I'm just saying watch out for obvious hints. Some people translate that to "this product is cheap" even if it isn't at all the case.

I understand you've put a hell of a lot of work into this. You might want to have a look at https://www.awwwards.com/ and take some inspiration for some of the designs, then write up a general spec sheet of how the website should look and feed that into Claude.

Otherwise Claude just does what a language model does best, and regurgitates a lot of the same styles.
