Earlier quoted context omitted.

Claude always makes sites look this way.

What way? Genuine curiosity

This sort of bluish dark mode with monospace fonts. Similar accent colors. Not sure where it got this style from.

Here's the official one, presumably with correct data: https://www.nasa.gov/missions/artemis-ii/arow/

Imperial units. I feel dirty now.

To me, what's super interesting about this is the fact that my brain instantly recognized it's AI coded (not sure why, it might be the spacing, the font, the text glow, etc.).

Developers and their customers mostly gave up design many years ago and used frameworks like Bootstrap because they are good enough, they are cheap to create, they increase speed to deliver with no external designer in the loop, etc. That made many sites look alike. AI designed web sites are the next natural step.

Super vibe coded, but love how it works. And here's the correct data source for reference btw: https://www.nasa.gov/missions/artemis-ii/arow/

I can't see crap. Fonts too small, everything too dark.

I recommend https://issinfo.net/artemis over the surge of vibe coded Artemis II trackers. Seen two others so far and they've all had major inaccuracies either regarding trajectory, current distance, or current mission state. One even said the remaining mission time was over 400 days. They all obviously used Claude Code.

Thanks - it's very nice to have a progress bar that you can scrub through to see where and when they have been and will be later in the mission.

A few more trackers: https://artemistracker.com/ https://artemislivetracker.com/ https://www.nasa.gov/missions/artemis-ii/arow/ Aside... so impressed with the UI on the posted version.

Great UI, but inaccurate slop. Couldn’t this have been validated against NASA’s site? Can we get this off the front page if the author can’t even be bothered to do that?
