Im not a LLM / vibe code hater (in fact a big user) but I wonder are these people just not looking for an existing solution or do they want their own bespoke version for access to some internals and to (kind of?) learn the high level of what goes into these projects.

If its the former, people are wasting their own time, money and energy when spending a similar amount of time searching vs prompting might yield better results for their use case. If its the latter, unless there is a killer feature, which I dont see in the github repo, why not point people to use the actively maintained project instead of the one the vibe coder is going to let die on the vine once they get bored. Its fracturing the space, for what gain? (no pun intended)

Also how much of this code is the LLM lifting from Stellarium either indirectly in the training data or actively searching for it to reference the code in its context?

Ooh, this is great! Reminds me of one of my all-time favorite open-source Android apps: Sky Map! https://github.com/sky-map-team/stardroid

Nice! I know it’s built with an LLM and that a vocal minority on this site doesn’t seem to like that for some reason, but personally I’m really enjoying the new interactive web experiences that younger developers are shipping to the internet every day. Thanks for sharing, and out of curiosity, what prompts did you use?

Vocal minority? Perhaps the majority are just getting fed up with vibe coded mediocre stuff that's significantly worse in every single way to other real options out there?

I too am really enjoying all of these new apps with less features than already existing apps. /s

I feel a little pain seeing how big, fully-formed apps appear in GitHub, created in days, completely hollow of pull requests, issues, or discussions.. just imagining the chain of prompts.

"Make me a web app like Stellarium"

"Make it dark mode"

"Increase the resolution of the graphic assets"

"Oh, I'm out of credits for today. Where is my wallet?"

"..."

"Suggest me a catchy name that is not in use right now"

"What a productive weekend! I'll license this as MIT so other prompters can freely benefit from my prompts. I made this".

I'm probably being unfair, maybe this wasn't vibe coded in days, maybe the author worked more on it than it appears, was very careful Claude didn't use GPL code that can't be relicensed as MIT, etc. I can't know. I'm basing my opinion on what I can see.
