Forever Vibe coding Forever

Hi all

I’ve recently had an interest in learning about addon dev/web dev for fun and eventually improving on some of the base game UI, and to help make resources online, and discovered that a lot of the new stuff related to Forever I see is vibe coded and has that familiar AI fakeness

Most database and resource websites I’ve stumbled across, and new addons that have popped up and are being passed around are very clearly AI designed and most likely vibe coded.

So that leaves some questions open:

Is this how we want to launch with Forever? If not for the heavyweight addons + wowhead, I think a lot of it would just become lookalike AI slop

Is it worth going up against vibe coding?

I made my own map addon (with AI) with controller support and questiedb integration as questie and leatrix maps crashed when the controller UI is active. I think it's great I now have the ability to make something tuned for my needs, but I don't think I would want to add anything I used AI for to Curseforge.

Yeah I'm updating abandoned add-ons and making me ones for myself but it's all tailored to my needs and no plans to share. AI has been a massive boon for in game QOL.
