This is a lot... is the web rendering just this framework in itself? Like this is a custom/new SSR solution?
Web render SSR, and native app on ios, android, no webview

#12It's an interesting idea, but it's hard to tell what the native parts are. The home page has a section titled "Native Targets" with an arrow icon that looks like it'd go to some docs, but appears to just be an icon. The running example is a straightforward responsive web page. The docs are centered around UI components for this tool and the lack of a Tree component really makes it look like this is a web framework. D…

Very frankly, I’m assuming that you typed something sloppy into AI and asked it to make a big project and a big web page for it, and now you have little or no idea what it did, except that it strung programming concepts together.

#14I can't be bothered to read a website that is so clearly AI generated with little to no polishing. What does that say about the rest of the project?

#15I love this idea. I was working on a JavaScript dialect to make programming more approachable after watching non technical colleagues vibe coding. It was clear that learning programming concepts would make a world of difference

#16How do people publish these websites that are full of Claude-isms and slop-writing and feel proud of themselves? A single cursory read of this page with fresh eyes would tell you that the page manages to communicate zero useful information, while also being written in a way that brings a bad taste to your mouth if you can recognize AI writing. Who is this for? Why would anybody want to try a project that has such little care and attention put into it?
And lest I be misinterpreted, this is not saying that you need to learn how to do frontend in order to create a programming language. Feel free to use AI to make your website, I don't mind at all. But ultimately the words on the page are for human consumption, and if I can tell that no brain cells were put into considering them, I'm not going to be interested in consuming them. Practical advice: once you've used AI to create your website, treat all of the copy on the page as filler equivalent to 'lorem ipsum' and rewrite it all in your own words. It will go a long way towards engendering trust in your project.

Certainly looks that way to me.

So. It’s a high fidelity prototype. Evaluate the concept. The implementation can be improved.

Thanks for answering. Is there an example project you can share? I'd love to see this in action.
