I'm in the same position, I mean, I worked really hard to get MVP done, and I'm just a full stack developer, with 15 years of experience in the industry, and they say it's vibecoded because the UI looks well done haha. That's amazing, but in certain way I see it funny to be honest. It feels more like people those haters tried, failed and they have nothing better but attack XD.
I told one of them, ok, try to create one and see how it goes. An AI cannot do what it has been done here that's why it is so ridiculous when they say it is vibecoded.
the ui looks extremely generic, like everything llms spit out. and no, i've not tried to create my own fediverse software. you don't have to be a director to critique a movie.
The UI looks generic because it follows modern design patterns. Lemmy would look Generic 10 years ago.
lemmy does look generic. it looks like a generic bootstrap application. but it's generic in a readable way, without the glassy gradients and lighting effects everywhere. it feels like we're back in the dreamweaver days where you had to load a bunch of gifs just to get that cool drop shadow you wanted.
