Sorry, I shouldn't have been that harsh about it; I apologize. Doesn't look like I can delet the comment, though.
Anyhow, I'm just a bit bitter about the onslaught of obviously vibe coded projects that very little effort has been put into. And OP did ask for feedback. But I shouldn't have been so mean about it. I know it can be fun to be able to whip up something quicker than you could before, but I really wish people would spend a tiny bit more effort on it before asking for feedback.
Hey, I appreciate your views (both positive and negative). There actually is a bit of a back story behind it all. I spent a month working on a different version of rebrain, (still available here: https://dev.rebrain.gg). After putting that work in I started to show it to some friends. It was clear from how they responded that it was not as promising as I had hoped. I listened to their feedback and came up with a different idea for LLM-based education (which is the version that's live now). I did vibe code it in about 3/4 days. But I vowed to try to get feedback sooner rather than later, which is why I posted it on ShowHN pretty early in its development. I do want to improve it... so please let me know if there are things which really frustrate you.
I checked the website and you weren't harsh enough. It reads more like a post modern art about vibecoding, some kind of performative art than anything.
I'm going to agree with you. Neat idea but the site is broken and clearly vibe coded, no Fs given to it actually working or making any sense.
This is far below most other "Show HN" posts and your first message was spot on.
Do you have any info on areas it was broken?
