Vibe coding isn't bad. It's those people who do all there coding(?) with it and post it like it's there creation is the problem.
What a crazy era we live in where people can finally take full credit for someone else's work, because that someone else is an algorithm that even encourages you to do so.
Komai is explicitly presented as a fork of Nheko. We credit the upstream project, major libraries (matrix-sdk) and assets (iconsets, etc.), and are open about using AI during development.
I’m not claiming sole authorship or pretending Komai was created from scratch. It's built on existing work (done by various humans over many years) and we're being transparent and thankful about it.
Disclosure: I've spent multiple months working on Komai (with AI and other humans).
It's not like they woke up and went "I'm selfish, let's make everything a little bit worse for everyone" - but evil wins when good people vibe slop and we just let it go.
