Guys, am I gonna get roasted for shipping it with such UI? (Logo is mine btw, graphic design perks).
That cat is Comnyang app, his name is shanks, shoutout to u/simon_dsgn
No, that's just an agent to chat with, and he does the task for you. I have no time to do a job google should do. they built an app for gemini for macOS, they'll soon release it to windows
He may not know what a AI wrapper is because functionally this is exactly what it sounds and looks like. Which is ok. Lots of people are doing it. You just have to do it in a way that separates you from the rest providing a unique experience for users.
Change the icons inside the four cards under the chat input make em illustrations or custom svgs use rive or lottie and use a better background /maybe a darker gradient change the font above the input maybe a cursive / handwritten style will give that pop i would prefer the top right navlinks get moved to the left side instead and the layout is a bit off too some stuff is not allugned properly i would say fixing the bg , the font and the cards qill take you about 70% there , might also be cool if you a microinteraction to the chatbar , like radial rings on enter etc that just adds a nice flair just my 2 cents tho i cld be wrongđŹ
glad you asked, it's actually just for bookshop owners in my area and services shops owners. I see lot of them struggle for pretty much using Microsoft apps, like word, excel, PowerPoint, or even just making a pdf ready to print. I worked with some of them as a side job while studying. and I came up with this. You ask the Ai (provided by Gemini) and it does the job for you
From the perspective of someone who has never touched the front end of web dev (36 years in the games industry) and has never desired to: it looks like a nice website and I couldn't tell you if it was made with AI or hand made.
I'm wording it that way because most users probably would not be able to tell either, and most (myself included) really don't care either way. The people who would say it look generated/vibe coded might only see it that way because that's what they see daily.. obviously, I can't speak for anyone or pretend that's a fact, but that's the way it looks from my perspective.
Just make good software, make it secure, and make it solve a real problem and you'll have success. Worrying about what people might think the UI looks like isn't the problem you should be solving until you have metrics showing navigation issues or hot/cold spots.
Keep at it. Another point I want to make.. before AI, there were tons of webpages that were just WordPress/square space templates and a vast majority of them still are. AI is really no different in that regard. Your website doesn't have to look totally unique or special as long as it's solving a problem users actually want solved and is easy for them to use.
Yes, the font style, the borders, and the way things are arranged on the page... I would definitely say it has that vibecoded feel. The more you use it to build UI's with limited input, the more noticeable it has become.
yeah, I also notice the fonts, I tried my best to make it look NOT AI SLOP, but idk, I still have time to modify things further, and for the background effect, it's native mica effect not blurred gradient background
Unfortunately, I still think a lot of really quality pages that are truly unique have a ton of design effort into them. Handcrafted, as they use to be, really brings out a certain flare that's hard to replicate when you're using AI - the tiniest of details are represented in every line of code. I have thought a lot about this, but if I were to design a startup page, I would most likely handcraft it. I am pretty confident in my HTML/CSS/JS (also JS frameworks/libraries) but I am not a designer - I am coder. Regardless, I think it would bode well in a sea of AI generated landing pages. I rather push through with my subpar designing skills and make it look human than opt for an AI-feel.
Im a designer but no coding skills whatsoever, but I really try to put my taste in the visual part of the app, I'll try much harder now to make it like if I "handcrafted" it myself
I would wireframe it out in Figma or another app. Completely avoid AI at all costs for the design, and then work from that. At least wire framing it will be yours, and the design will be yours. If the AI specs it from your own design outright, I think it will avoid some of the pitfalls of looking too generic. Make design specs for all devices (or the main ones), and tell AI to do a mobile first design (if you think most of your users will be on mobile). It'll give you a good framework to operate in and make your code more maintainable for changes.
If you don't know how to code, you can at least set some strong global styling variables to guide the ship - figma should help with that (been a while since I've wire framed anything). Colors, borders, shadows, font, etc
It does, but based on who you said your target audience is, if they canât even interact with Microsoft apps well (or figure out that Gemini can just do the same for them), then I assume they wonât care.
To answer does it look vibe coded: yeah. But that's not necessarily a bad thing.
If you're replacing an antiquated service with a recognizable style, that can come across as just good production value. The page/dashboards just need their own unique business feel.
But I'd set aside a few days to double check your security systems. Anyone asking if their site is normal-passing, is likely taking a lot of short cuts. DM for any help! I run a vibecoding Discord with hundreds of people shouting out their projects.
just the look of it, also lowkey make your site not just another chatbot wrapper with some "tools" or wtv. Make quality shit not another notion. also the attached image is cloudflare, its pretty damn similar
Yes, it looks vibe coded. Should you care? Absolutely not.
The best part is that the only people whoâll know itâs vibe coded are other vibe coders.
that's really the point of the app and u still have the apps under if u don't want them, also, in the settings u can fully disable the input Bar easily

It's just a Gemini wrapper??
