Hey, I vibe code a bunch of personal tools myself, so I genuinely appreciate the effort and the excitement of sharing what you’ve built.

But I think it’s important to be honest with your audience, especially when cross-posting the same project across multiple Lemmy communities: please mention that this was AI-generated code. People deserve to know that when deciding whether to use or trust a project.

It would also really help to explain what problem this solves that existing tools don’t already handle. There are several well-established options in this space: Watchtower, Diun, Portainer, Dockge, Arcane, Renovate. If your project does something meaningfully different, say so! That’s what would actually make people interested.

Keep building, but bring people along with the full picture. That’s how you earn trust.

Hi Tiritibambix, that’s genuinely a great advice. I’m kind of new in this tech world, so my apology for not getting things right. I’ve just learned a bunch of things through out the comments and I’m trying to address things the best I can. I’ll make sure to include the “AI code” tag or disclaimer for other projects in the future. I really had no idea that anything generated by AI could bring so many strong and different opinions. But that’s great. Thanks again!
