Apparently the Photon client is vibe coded. (github.com)

I used to daily drive this app for browsing Lemmy/PieFed and stopped due to random annoying bugs and design issues popping up. Now I just found this file in the codebase and it made everything click. What do you guys think?

Photon isn't vibe coded. I tried out Claude code 5 months ago and it didn't really work on the task I gave it. I uninstalled and forgot about it until I noticed 5 commits (2 days!) later that it created a CLAUDE.md. Photon was also created in 2023, 2 years before Claude code even existed.

Thank you for clarifying. Honestly, Photon works so well imo, I'd be pretty shocked if it was completely vibe coded.

Thanks for all of you work. Photon is amazing!
