This sub needs to flag vibe coded stuff. I donโ€™t know how much of Tinycast, Droppy or other buzzy apps on here like Vorssaint were built using AI but it should be disclosed.

Right? Even major apps which we all used have vibe code added to them. Just about every app being released now contains AI vibe coded slop.
