I like the ideas presented, but you can only read so many variations of

before getting a headache.

I wish the whole thing was written better, because the idea of designing a codebase for humans and our limitations sounds fascinating. It's why I personally love type systems, you can keep less things in your head and let the type checker alert you of any possible errors.

There's a section [1] on the page that has instructions, and video [2] too. I had to select the English (US) language to get the option to select ClearFlow.

The human refuses to do it because another human (the user who opened the issue) also refused to do it. If the user asked the machine to do it, and didn't even bother to verify the output, why should the maintainer read it?

The website seems to have some bugs on mobile, seen on Chrome 147.0.7727.137

- Cannot horizontally scroll the code snippets on homepage when it overflows. The scroll bars appear but swiping the snippet does nothing. - Footer links are unresponsive (loon, GitHub, MIT Licence links) - In the changelog page, scrolling makes the hamburger menu hide release dates behind it - Hamburger close chevron looks misaligned (not sure if this was a deliberate choice)

Do you have the tool open sourced somewhere? I have been thinking of using something similar

The UI was a little unresponsive on mobile, and when I opened the "Media" page on desktop I got multiple block rendering errors. Opening the console reveals a syntax error (missing ] after element list) and some type errors.

Also, it looks like you have to get the subscription to use it in any way? It's hard to gauge whether it is for me or not if I have no way to trial it. I found the UI a bit confusing too, I was not sure what I was supposed to do after logging in. As another commentator mentioned, it's asking me to set a reference language but I see no way of configuring it.
