I won't argue with the downvotes, honestly they're fair and I get it. This is an AI project posted to a community that's rightly tired of AI slop, and I'd be skeptical too.
So let me be straight: yes, I used Claude heavily to build this. I'm a solo dev and it's how I got it done at all. But every decision (architecture, stack, features, scope) is mine. That doesn't mean they're good decisions, just that they're deliberate, not generated. I built this because it actually solves a need I had at home, and I figured I'd share it in case it's useful to someone else, not to pretend I'm reinventing anything.
I also added an honest "How this is built" note to the README and the site rather than hide the AI use. If the code reads like unreviewed slop anywhere, that's a real bug to me and I'll fix it.
Either way, I hear the reception loud and clear, and I appreciate the people who took the time to actually tell me why.
