How much of this is vibe coded? The widget demos about halfway down seem half-baked; the currency input allows letters and letter inputs visually disappear when you unfocus it. The calendar input appears to select the day before the one I clicked. The markdown editor places hashes after the text on the current line rather than making the current line a header. The dropdown search doesn't seem to work (typing "R" shows React and AngulaR, but typing "Re" doesn't show any options).

All of those are fixable of course, and the idea is neat! It's just a bit of a rough showcase, at least on Firefox.

Let me paraphrase a previous reply:

___

You can see our first commit here

https://github.com/golemui/golemui/commits/main/?since=2025-...

Note the date! 2025-09-01, that is the date of our first commit, 1962 commits later we published v1.0

So you can see this has been well thought

___

So the answer to how much has the library code vibe code is none of it...

That said, this is not an excuse for those bugs! We are already working on the fixes, many thanks for raising this!

Just wanted to say I'm impressed with the speed of progress! There's clearly a lot of passion being poured into the project, and I appreciate that folks are responding really quickly to things. It looks like you've already fixed most/all of the things I noticed, and added Firefox to the test suite[0]. Nice!

That's impressive! A quick glance shows me there's a commit that added almost 2500 lines of code.

https://github.com/golemui/golemui/commit/861b182556fab44d1c...

But that doesn't mean vibe-coded. Just hints at LLM assistance which, imo, is fine.

correct! We are (obviously), using AI to assist us, but for the library code we are fully on top. And you can expect this to be the case for all the foreseeable future of the library
