Really like the looks of it, but minifying the code to achieve the “400 lines” marketing gimmick is a huge turn-off. It’s also a security nightmare, and ensures it remains 100% vibe coded. Would rather have a readable source with an honest line count.

I think it's fine that it's minified, code-golf style, but yes I agree that this would be much more convincing and useful with an unminified source.

Isn’t unwrapping and commenting just one prompt away?

Agreed. It would be one thing if it was a regular bash project that got minified via a script or something, since at least you could tell what it's doing.

This is just spaghetti. Maybe it's spaghetti that runs, but code of this quality does not engender confidence.

Assuming the agent doesn't forget or misinterpret anything.

It would be much better to just have a deterministic minification script.

Could you post the initial 6KB version? I'd love to have a version that I can actually read and understand. I don't care if it's 2K LOC.

I don't think that even with APL you could get an average of three characters per line of code to get a 6 Kb file in 2 K LOC.
