A scourge to what, exactly?
To the human race. The only reason we're not living miserable animal lives is because of technological progress. Wanting to slow that down means you are anti human.

The industrial revolution created slums. Social progress made those go away – and I'm sure the factory owners decried it just as vehemently.
To name a few.

The industrial revolution also created clean drinking-water systems, sewerage and wastewater treatment, basic sanitation and hygiene infrastructure, mass-produced vaccination, antibiotics, antisepsis and sterilization, anesthesia, obstetric and neonatal care technology, refrigeration and cold-chain logistics, food safety and industrial food processing, pasteurization, canning, mechanized agriculture, synthetic fertil…

#34Hey there! I find the idea super relevant and I think compliance tools that can be used like this are the way forward. Given the timeline of the commits and some other tells (e.g. using forwardRef despite using React 19 which deprecates it), it seems like you used coding assistants extensively. That's a personal preference, but I would mention that explicitly (if that's the case), if only for intellectual honesty.
Thanks, appreciate the thoughtful feedback. You’re right that the commit history doesn’t fully reflect the raw development process. I did some cleanup and squashing before publishing, since this is an open-source project and I wanted the history to be readable and reviewable. I do use coding assistants as part of my workflow, mostly for iteration speed and boilerplate, but the architectural decisions, evaluation logi…

#35What innovation do we have here from the EU? Its official name should be: The Official EU AI Act Compliance Regulation Conformance Tool MMXXVI v1.0 If you are one patch version behind, you are "non-complaint" and you will get fined immediately. We <3 EU!
This but unironically. Snuff Google, Microsoft and Apple with the passion of a thousand suns and never let their ashes rise again to threaten fair people. Signed, an American who is fed up with adslop and saasslop propaganda. Do not reward immoral megacorps.
Not knocking Europe, but there's too much of a tendency online to picture Europe as some kind of Disneyland. Some of this is down to Americans who only know Europe from two-week holidays and picture it as a holiday utopia, some of it is Europeans who only know America from reality television and picture it as a hellscape.
Pop discourse != reality.

Hard disagree from me there. I don’t care what language a tool is built with, I’m neither interested in their choice of code editor, nor whether they use AI in the process or not. It’s a means to an end, not some flaw to be ashamed of and forced to disclose. If something gets built with AI or not at all, that’s a net positive as far as I’m concerned.

I care. Plenty of people care. You are free to ignore that piece of the readme.

#40Calling it "Conform" is very 1984esque. There is also a 2025 book (a dystopian romance) called the same: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/223239535-conform
