Cool project, but I'd really suggest looking at the UI.
The text is too small and it's way too dense with information in general. Considering how simple this product is to use, it's kinda crazy that I have to scroll through over a page length of (mostly useless, AI-generated) information before getting to the actual interface.
Also what is going on with the footer (why does it link back to the site itself, why is it telling me to "serve over HTTP").

  This is the future of software, sloppy ui.

    Yes, before LLMs we never had sloppy UIs.

    To be fair this is worse.
    It’s verbose with a layer of looking legit play first glance sloppy UI.
    I don’t mind vibe code ui but at least some ui efffort would be nice. Not just 1 shot.

    I think your memory of pre-AI UIs is rosy. This is a little below average.

    We didn't have this kind of sloppy UI. Putting in an extra text field is work, so we mostly had blocks of text and misaligned fields and text in the wrong place.
    AI has no trouble churning out code, so AI-generated sloppy UIs have text fields everywhere.
