#142Vibe-coded trash, even says so in the Readme. Not sure why this gets voted to the frontpage.
Better get ready for almost all software to use AI assistance in its creation. You can build great things using AI agents, and you can build trash. Your ideological opposition to that is not shared by as wide a percentage of developers as you may think based on some highly self selected online corners.
Way to read something into what I have never even wrote and try to spin it as something ideological. This is not "AI-assisted", it's completely vibe-coded by AI and the software doesn't even make sense since you can't export anything. It's just low-quality trash dumped on Hacker News and I'd argue this is not the place for it.

#143Funny how you can tell a project is vibe-coded just from a first glance at its website. All these websites seem to somehow have the same visual style. Anyone noticed this?
Yep, my fans started revving as soon as I loaded it. Animations are out of control on the normal web as it is, but genAI sites take it to another level.

Oh, that's odd, it didn't show up on chrome when I first tried it, but it does now. I was wondering how they'd managed to hide the video context menu
It's probably just element without "controls" attribute. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/... > controls > If this attribute is present, the browser will offer controls to allow the user to control video playback, including volume, seeking, and pause/resume playback. Edit: I misunderstood, you are asking > how they'd managed to hide the video context menu Not sure, but it works in FF for me
Its entirely possible I did something to it accidentally that made the context menu not work properly. I had the dev tools open to pull the actual video address when I right clicked, so I might have messed something up. Or maybe the devs are secretly looking at the comments and fixed it between me and you trying :P
Re: TUI Studio – visual terminal UI design tool
#145This is nonsensical, there is nothing textual about the UIs being shown here. It doesn't stop being a GUI if you have a 1:1 representation of the concept within character cells. The UX actually matters, and TUIs are generally built for effectiveness and power (lazygit being an excellent example). But once you start adding mouse clickable tabs, buttons, checkboxes etc. you left the UX for TUIs behind and applied the U…
Man, I've had so much frustrating just trying to copy & paste from inside a terminal running e.g. opencode or crush.
I think TUIs are neat, I guess. But I think these things have abused the concept extensively. They don't actually interact well with the rest of a Unix environment.

> The lack of accessibility of TUIs is not great in general. Interesting. In what ways? I haven't heard anyone express this concern before.
Depending on how the TUI is made, it can be very visual, but lacks structure for a screen reader (unless you stay in the very simple "input field: value" kind of prompt, but even then auto completion is tricky). Web browsers offer the DOM to tools such as screen readers (OSs offer their own accessibility sdks). Someday perhaps the TUI application could talk to the terminal emulator that would itself talk to the acces…
TUIs seem like they should be well-suited to screen readers, but yeah accessibility is often unfortunately far down the list on average project priorities.

It won't let me reply to parent's child comment, but i wanted to say:
That is what HN is for!

That, too, though I'm sure that particular problem is mainly because of the textual animation in the background.

tbf that's Apple's fault, not the choice of the free, unpaid open source developer.
Apple's fault that they didn't bother to edit the text that says "No install fuss"?
Probably don't know how now that the LLM helping them write the code has lost that context.
From their github it appears all the code is llm-generated
Re: TUI Studio – visual terminal UI design tool
#150For {root} sake I'm a designer. Mostly all the code has been written by Claude and ad latere.
Probably why the actual product, the code export, isn't working. I doubt it ever will. Neat toy, though.
