how do you know it has been vibe-coded? And why does it matter?

Because it reduces my trust in the truthfulness of the represented information.
but how can you know the author used AI in the first place, and more than that, if he indeed did it, that he didn't check what the LLM did?

Another comment mentioned the total number of tokens used, confirmed with the git history. But most importantly : it uses the exact same CSS as every other vibe-coded app, with the same fonts & spacing.

>And why does it matter?

Because I don't want to use nor recommend vibe-coded stuff. Simple enough.

The AI generated text in the tour is a good clue. But I also don’t think the author is denying it.
