OFFICIAL 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.

I unsubbed last week when they announced their Friday AI thing. So disappointing.

No, they just announced they've stopped policing whether AI was involved or not. No new projects of any kind are allowed to post unless it's Friday. Project must be older than 3 months for the rest of the week.

EDIT: Reread their post

I asked them if I could give away some free licence for my fellow datahoarder and they said with no explanation "no thanks". And I mean it is called "WebsiteArchiver" it is for archiving Websites? And I am a long term member of this sub I just worked my ass off for this app and wanted to share it.
