I don’t usually share what I build. Most of it lives on Codeberg or Github as a glorified off-site backup. 3-2-1 and all that. If I nuke my drive, I can pull it back down. That’s the whole point for me.
A while back I mentioned Pimaps here, a few people asked to see it, so I posted it. Got dunked on for AI slop despite explicitly marking which parts were AI-assisted (documentation and review- flagged with AIP). Similar story with Cliparr. I get it - Lemmy hates AI in any capacity.
What does the community actually expect from devs when sharing a project? I’m not assuming everyone here is a professional dev - though I’d guess the overlap is significant - so I’m wondering where the bar sits.
Polish? Full handwritten codebase? Something else?
How much of the sausage making do you actually want to see?


I am a lemmy user. Use as much as you want as long as you take full responsibility for it. I am open to ai. There is rubbish, but there’s also very good stuff.
I don’t have enough security knowledge, I can’t judge if a project is applying state of the art security practices. If a non experienced dev published a fully working app within a couple of days, one may rightfully question the quality of the project. You have to have experience in order to judge a llm output. The more people look at it, the better. I don’t judge you, I didn’t look into either project.
