I don’t disagree necessarily, but they shouldn’t be uploading / sharing one-off projects they don’t intent to maintain.
Comment on Most slopcode projects are abandoned and deleted within months of release

I’m generally anti-ai but this is kind of exactly what vibe coding is for.
Someone has a problem right now and there is no tool to fix their problem how they want it fixed, so they throw some shit together for personal use and maybe someone else can use it if they want idgaf.
Why would they maintain that? It does what they need it to, when they need it. Usually these tools are very basic.

That is a bit of an open source philosophy difference.
Is it better that everyone has open source everything so that anyone who finds the one-off useful can benefit from it?
Or is the software actually not provided “as-is” like the license states and on releasing open source software the community deserves regular updates?
I think that second option is a very entitled path. We are not entitled to the continued used free labor of a random person on the internet.

Yes, but there’s a difference between having your source and binaries available on github and submitting to an app store like flathub.

That’s true to an extent, but I’d disagree wrt something like dockerhub.

I don’t really agree. If you have a tool to do a thing, share it in case someone else could benefit, just be open about what it is.

If you read this community in the last weeks you’d know that slopcoders don’t stop at basic projects.
