     @binarydigit Positive side: you can tell by the site that the app was totally vibe coded, maybe it saves you a download?

     @maique @binarydigit yeah, I guess it would all look the same as it’s an average of everything

     @andycarolan @binarydigit Might be. They have a style. Like they don’t really care about the design of the site/app, whatever Claude throws their way is good enough. And all of them look the same.

     @maique @binarydigit “this odd "look" that I can't really place” … it all looks a bit sanitised? Is that an appropriate word for it?

     @binarydigit This makes me feel better about my terrible, hand-coded + simple.css website.

     @sarajw @andycarolan @maique That's it! It's Tailwind. They must use it all the time in the agents. Dangit. It probably would have been bootstrap a few years ago 😂

     @binarydigit @andycarolan @maique honestly it mostly looks like Tailwind to me, which has been all the rage for a while.

     It's a library for CSS which is very flexible but somehow still the sites came out looking tailwindy. Like, using purple gradients on text was very popular...

     I guess it's marginally better than the extreme standardisation when bootstrap was popular? Maybe?

     @sarajw @binarydigit @maique I remember tailwind being really popular within a dev group that I was a part of years ago
