This website seems to have been generated by Codex - I asked Codex to create an HTML overview of a feature for my team and it made an overly produced monstrosity - complete with the same large stat boxes that were for the most part devoid of meaningful information - using the same font, colors, layout, hero section, etc. It was also terrible on mobile just like this is.

In the end I had Claude produce a one-page html file that was 95% of the way there and it took minor editing to clearly explain the intent of the feature.

A lot of LLM-driven design now looks like this. I don’t understand how people don’t find ugly the pairings with an heavily italicised serif. You also can’t read much of the page on mobile, because the code example keeps shifting the content around.

Now, that is overly critical, I’m sure their heart is in the right place. But a simpler website would do :)

Yeah such amazing tech used to produce a tediously unreadable website with great flair.

Go full circle, and use the amazing tech to make a summary of the amazing tech's website written by the amazing tech to praise the amazing tech.

It’s sad to see companies not spending a bit more on design. Sure, ai will help you get something decent out fast. But there’s a threshold where design becomes an indicator of trust. Especially for b2b software that tailor to large corps. Good design, character, adds directly to the bottom line.

The article is about an open source agent harness, Reasonix, that is built to leverage the DeepSeek native api.

There’s no company here. No design budget. These people are graciously sharing a project they made in their free time.

You're right, but I find as a solo engineer it's still important to check the frontends I create on mobile

I agree. I didn’t mean to be too critical. But if they’d made something simpler, I think it would save them tokens and end up more likely to convince their target audience of developers.

(The series of ‘motherfucking websites’ comes to mind, they were all very readable and simple, even if satire.)

That doesn't say much about any model though. For starters, any software engineer can tell you that leaving out features can drastically simplify any project.

Claude Opus 4.7 defaults to exactly this design language for a lot of "just make me a rich html presentation page" requests without further specification.

strange, I got the same design with claude design, same fonts, same title designs with the strange character etc...
