    This website is pure slop. I'd ask @dang to just link the original repo

      Right? Compare this with antirez's blog lmao. The very author of an incredible piece of software using the most plain website possible, while a derivative post about the same tool it's a slop fest with useless FX, cringe hackerman style palette and such. It's just too funny.

        Here's a sample of the site's headers. Note the heavy reliance on slop marketing-speak (rule of 3, X not Y, etc.).

        "Compressed, not lobotomized."

        "Dense, resident, yours."

        "Local frontier inference, narrow on purpose."

        "ds4 hardware fit: local, streamed and distributed."

        The whole site says nothing with so many words. It's also got all the hallmarks of a typical vibe-coded web site (small all-caps text, highly sectioned content, silly animations). Why do people do this? It doesn't impress. In a few years, we'll look back on sites like this like we look at geocities sites today.

          >like we look at geocities sites today.

          We look at geocities with nostalgia, I guess. Ugly as fuck but made with heart when all this thing of the internet was growing.

          This slop shit on the other hand... It's cringe right now.
