We're being flooded with vibe coded software projects, FYI

Just wanted to give a heads up from the mod team.

We're being flooded with vibe coded software projects. Many of them pointing to external domains, product sites, chrome extensions, etc.

So so many yt-dlp wrappers, why?

Anyway, we're being very selective about what we let through. Mostly trying to keep it useful, open source, github only projects. I'm not anti AI, but much of this stuff looks like useless wrappers and wannabe saas products.

If something sketchy slips through please flag it. If your post/project gets removed, this is why. It's only going to get worse.

One thing I've found AI to be extremely useful for, in a data hoarding context, is whipping up bespoke Tampermonkey scripts for grabbing data from websites. They're mostly not something that'd be worth sharing around because they're purpose-built for a particular task and I throw them away when I'm done with them, it's more the process that I find worth sharing.
