And... Cue 1M dummies here running that code without even looking at it, SMH.

i had a quite good experience generating a key/username on my local machine and ssh'ing in.

lot of vitriol in the comments. looks like a spectacularly put together BBS, to me. the tools are open-source and have some really fun looking value add, but no, i haven't ran them.

Design is illegible. Needs more contrast between text and background. I'm not even vision impaired and I was squinting immediately.

I'm, by contrast, an able bodied person with functioning eyes and had no issues.

You might not have the average display.

But, can you reason more about your intent with the tone of your comment?

there are many many themes. some high contrast ones

Hmm maybe the tool has but the design of the website made me squint as well.

Me, too. For me, it was easier without the DarkReader plugin enabled than with it (which is kind of common), but it wasn't great to see either way.

The design = “flavor of the week LLM”, but someone still has to proof and tweak generated copy. Someone cared about this page.

Lol

So much modern GUI design is really poor for those a bit older where contrast is important.

No X. No Y. A is your B.

We do G, not H. C, D, E — plus an optional F.

No I, no J, no K — just an L into a W.

I would say the design is the most human thing about this page. (It has its charm somehow, even if it’s obviously “flavour of the week LLM design”. Also, I don’t think an LLM would choose colours so poorly unless nudged in that direction – accidentally, I suppose.)

Yeah, no. Not enough to make the page not look and sound like straight from an LLM.

Also not enough to make the text even a slight bit more readable. I have perfect eyes and am still struggling to focus on the headlines.
