I too am really enjoying all of these new apps with less features than already existing apps. /s

I feel a little pain seeing how big, fully-formed apps appear in GitHub, created in days, completely hollow of pull requests, issues, or discussions.. just imagining the chain of prompts.

"Make me a web app like Stellarium"

"Make it dark mode"

"Increase the resolution of the graphic assets"

"Oh, I'm out of credits for today. Where is my wallet?"

"..."

"Suggest me a catchy name that is not in use right now"

"What a productive weekend! I'll license this as MIT so other prompters can freely benefit from my prompts. I made this".

I'm probably being unfair, maybe this wasn't vibe coded in days, maybe the author worked more on it than it appears, was very careful Claude didn't use GPL code that can't be relicensed as MIT, etc. I can't know. I'm basing my opinion on what I can see.
