Nice. I might pop in and check it out. Ive been looking for something like this.

That being said, looking over the source now that I know it’s open… I’m seeing a very concerning amount of evidence that this project is heavily vibe coded. The is an absolute cacophony of SLOP.md files in the repo.

Really making me question the future of this project. Looks like the project started before vibe coding was a thing but the slop ship sailed quite some time ago.

FWIW, I’m not anti-ai for programming use but this to me looks very extreme, very disorganised, very concerning.
