I don't need this but this looks very cool. I love neon colors and everything.

Some of these we, dynamic programming is something we didn't do at university and few years ago I did a course to learn it. It is good to know, wish we dealt with more of such intellectual problems at work, but as we all know this is not the case.

Anyhow, really cool.

Isn't it just the default slopcoded website design?

Yes. It is the clearest giveaway of a complete slop style site.

Working on making light mode, I'm more of a dark mode guy myself but I get it. Should be fixed shortly. MVPs don't give me time for much of a stylistic polish at this point.

Is this GPT? I'm trying to train myself to distinguish the different breeds.

Looks like very typical Claude Design output to me, though I could be wrong.

For what it's worth I don't have anything against the design. It's kind of like seeing Bootstrap websites everywhere when that was at its peak.

P.S. The hamburger menu icon overlaps with the site icon when the menu is open.

Sorry about that, the focus was desktop for now. It's definitely on my todo list.
