What a tittle, almost makes you feel good for vibe coding out slop without knowing half of what is going on. What are even the examples marginal css changes on already perfectly good designs?

If you want to look at the bright side, this design guide will be easier to spot SAAS, slop as a service.

"DON'T use pure white or pure black..."

This is something I hate: gray text. Designers love it but it is often very illegible because of inadequate contrast.

The before/after box is not well designed. How am I supposed to tell which side is before and which side is after? They're apparently color-coded based on the color circles next to the labels, but the actual content doesn't seem to have anything matching that color code, so I can't tell which label goes with which side.

Concept seems fun, and I'm expecting we'll see a bunch of those in the next few weeks/months. UX of that specific page seems broken, however, as the container for the explanation of each "function" doesn't scroll along with the rest of the content (stays stuck at the top) and makes it impossible to see.

Author here. That's actually great feedback. I accidentally broke the container scroll with a single line CSS change to fix something else, ugh. Should be fixed now.

Let's call it "form over function." That landing page example is devastatingly bad. You start with a page that has usage numbers, uptime, support 24/7 and a customer rating above the fold. You end up with a page that lacks all of these advantage and instead looks bland and has horrible typography and even less text contrast. In line with that, the Dashboard looks more organized in the "after" picture, but that's beca…

Author here. I agree that that wasn't a strong example. I wasn't happy with the outcome of those before/after examples, it was rushed before the launch, and I shouldn't have shipped it. Removed. I mostly use these commands on smaller targeted sections on projects that I unfortunately can't screenshot, the case study examples where rushed and didn't communicate the value. Removed them for now, until I can fill in better, real examples.

The "Before" examples look infinitely better than the "After" examples. Tells you all you need to know. Wouldn't be at all surprised if this whole thing was a ridiculous joke or a satirical commentary on pretentious design.

Author here. Not a joke, but the case study examples were poor, and I shipped them anyway. Ironically I've used these commands on a production project very effectively, and hence decided to open source, but couldn't screenshot the real examples as the project has not launched. I've removed the lackluster examples for now.

I like the idea of this, but in the examples I thought the "Before" looked much better on all 3...

Author here. Fair. Mentioned this in another reply, but yes, the case study examples were poor, and I shouldn't have shipped those. Ironically I've used these design commands on a production project very effectively, and hence decided to open source, but couldn't screenshot the real examples as the project has not launched.

Fair feedback. Removed the section for now, will replace with better, real examples.
