This is why you should not install any of the vibe coded apps that get advertised in here regularly. You’re just creating a liability for yourself.

Are there any obvious signs of it being vibe coded that I’m missing?
In my experience, projects not being very active, especially small ones by a single person, isn’t anything new that has much to do with LLMs, it was always that way for hobby projects. And it was inactive for only about a month now, with the author replying within one day before that. I have a few hobby projects myself and don’t reserve time every month to work on them or check on their repos.
If you have access to their git, watch out for the commit history. Check how much code each commit is introducing and/or editing and how fast they are, and how many times these big commits happen.
If you see a project with big commits in very short interval of times, it’s a sign that it was vibe coded
No obvious signs, nope. It wasn’t until I started using it in earnest that I got suspicious and then when trying to work on the code it became very clear.
