This looks very much like many slopped up UIs I've seen over the past few years. Not saying the code is, but the design itself looks vibe coded?

Well, If we have learned something from this post today is that we are terrible designers web designers :)

We take this as actually great feedback, as we are indeed not good at all at web design, so we will try to improve it using all the feedback in this thread.

That being said, you can bet we have pour our souls on the library code for this project.

You can easily see this by looking at our commits.

https://github.com/golemui/golemui/commits/main/?since=2025-...

Note the date! 2025-09-01, that is the date of our first commit, 1962 commits later we published v1.0

So you can see that the actual code for the library has been build very carefully, I think if you give it a go at our (not so great) website, and you actually see the features, that will impress you

I too am immediately fatigued by the insta-landing pages people pump out. react-create-app or whatever. no thought whatsoever because "design is a solved problem".

pause for sighing.

Ok that said, I mean it makes sense, people aren't good at all things, and getting a project to the finish line is laudable. Let's not flippantly dismiss the project because it uses trendy purple.

For what it's worth, I would absolutely dismiss a project if the text content was entirely AI. But the design, well, I'm confident 90% launched projects use some JS SPA template thing. It's the state of the industry.
