While looking for Discord alternatives I came across this project which looks like a great alternative for the kinds of Discord servers centered around Open Source projects and organizations. Ones where live chat and voice rooms aren’t the focus.
It’s a combination of forums and knowledge base that would be perfect for this use case.
It mentions many AI features. Is this vibe-coded?
From what I can tell the author uses AI assistance in creating API endpoints and some front end styling, based on some clause code agent files in the repo. Whether that is for prototyping client changes after making backend changes, or thats what winds up in the official client, I cannot say. It’s a good thought though as it’s not really mentioned on the main site.
From reading his blog he seems to be not be yet another AI bro and I sort of agree with his position on the ultimate usefulness of AI. There is little to no AI generation implemented in the app, it seems mostly designed as a search function and is optional.
Looks like the pictures are also AI generated?
imo this line of questioning will become increasing irrelevant, coding might just be the best thing about AI, you’re going to find fewer and fewer projects hand crafted
Depends heavily on use. If it’s only for completion or for tedious tasks or for ideas, then yeah it’s fine. But if it’s a fully vibe-coded app it brings into question wether the author has the skill to maintain and keep developing the project.
That’s why it should be asked, or even better, just answered in the README.
