They all have this rounded box design as well. I wonder where that came from, I don't think it was a predominant style before.
replyRecently asked Codex (GPT-5.2) to write a small single-page HTML frontend to debug some REST endpoints. As it was just a one-off tool, I put in no instructions about looks or styling at all. Lo and behold, the tool it wrote came with exactly that round-box style.
replyIt seems to be the "default" style of some models for some reason.
Which makes me wonder if people already experimented with "style suggestions" to get different results: "Make it look like an 1998 GeoCities page" / 2005 Facebook / Newgrounds / DeviantArt / one of those Windows XP simulators with built-in window manager / etc
I vibe code web apps with Google's Gemini and I think it actually mimics Google's UI and UX because I see similarities between my vibe coded web apps and Google's web apps.
replyBut that's a different style from the these colorful border rounded boxes that I think Claude in particular loves to produce.
replyThis is fair, although I ask for it to be dark themed to match what I think was the style of typing game I remember growing up with (it's been a while). Bumped up the font though.
replyMy top complaint is that if I've successfully used a pattern, I want my text removed. I keep forgetting to backspace a bunch, then get frustrated that my pattern isn't working.
replyOther than that, great game!
Next time please ask it to respect system dark/light mode preference, it's trivial to do, especially for an LLM which can spin up light/dark alternatives easily.
replyno
replyconsidering free windows being light theme only, it should be a button, not a "system default"
By "free windows" do you just mean an unactivated copy of Windows? That doesn't prevent the user from configuring their preference in the browser itself.
replyThere should be a button too, but it's simple to add a line so that it also defaults to any provided preference.
reply… is that even legal to do for microsoft? Are there no requirements to adhere to certain standards? Would have thought that is part of it.
replywhat would the requirement be? "thou must provide the full paid service to those who do not pay"?
replyThat's fine, too. Either way, give the user the choice.
replyAnd all the text is grey-on-grey and basically unreadable. Not to even mention accessibility.
replyI could envision the style even before clicking on the site.
replyMaybe because it 1337 hackerman-style, or something.
replyAnd not playtested at all :D
replyEvery vibecoded site have this same dark look with shining hue-gradient borders, can't wait for the future the entire web be filled with this generic look
replyWhat evidence do you have that this is vibe coded?
replyBecause it looks exactly the same and feels as janky as 99% of vibecoded web apps
replyJust based on vibes.
