Yes, which completely undermines my trust and confidence in such a project.

Yes, I understand how you feels. I did use AI for documentation and the project. I know that's not ideal and probably comes across as low-effort.

But honestly, I was genuinely frustrated with macOS 26's launchpad changes and wanted to build something to fix it. Yeah, the project has the problem but I'm trying to improving it. I just simply want there are more solutions, more alternative there. For the technology side, I am still a student, and my technical skills are not good, far from good. I just want the problem to be fixed, and for us to have better tools.

It’s a one person passion project. We’re grateful you even showed us. Perhaps someone with strong opinions about open source will volunteer to write over the parts they don’t like.

Thank you! :) I think it's great that different people have different ideas. Questioning is actually a good thing, it helps drive progress in many different areas. I'm truly grateful. I'll keep fixing and updating the software, since I need to use it everyday.

Agreed. People are being too harsh in this post

Agreed. Don't be discouraged by negative comments and just keep on building.

Nothing wrong with using AI to write code.

It's probably good to disclose this upfront and since you're a student that can be a starting point to keep improving the project until it's well architected and you understand every detail of it and why it's designed this way.
