alt Hacker NewsThe first thing I noticed in the repo is a next config, which I couldn't fathom. I then realized this is the "marketing website" for the project.
Deploying a neo-vibey website for a calculator is a wild choice. On top of that, the first things (the buttons) dont work.
This does not spark the vibe I want. You either go full hacker-mode (and end up with a relatively nerdy website that is more about technicals and less about marketing), or you go full-on stakeholder-mode (you prioritize that your product is going to completely smash your competitor, making stakeholders feel FOMO).
I don't get it. At all.

Even if we ignore that, having text like "Scroll to Deconstruct Architecture" and "Join the Resistance" on a calculator app is cringe
I'm pretty sure they just vibe coded the site in half an hour on a lark. High gloss without any real direction or intent behind it is the new "vanilla html page with no CSS file", or maybe less charitably, the new clip art.
And that's fine, right? Like people can do what they want. We're just going to get used to it.
