I've been running OpenAltFinder for almost 16 months now, and received quite a bit of positive feedback. The directory has also grown substantially. Over the last few months I've been receiving more and more submissions that were AI-assisted/vibe-coded.

Personally I'm a bit skeptical (both quality wise, and longevity wise), but I also want to give everyone a chance to showcase what they've build. I had already added an "AI-assisted" label, but right now the majority of submissions include that label.

To counter this, I decided to build an AI-free version of it over at: https://noai.openaltfinder.com/, inspired by duckduckgo.

Some of the alternatives are vibecoded as hell, any chance showing vibecode score ?

With this kind of tool : https://www.vibedetect.io/

    Unfortunately this seems to be service as a software substitute it would be really nice to have this as a free software program that can be run locally.

    Interestingly if you run this detector on itself (as it invites you to do) you get a funny easter egg response that includes the statement "VibeDetect is an open-source tool built with Next.js and TypeScript. The code is available on GitHub — check it yourself to see how it works" along with a link labelled "View on GitHub (if it exists)" that goes to "github.com" with no repository. So I'm not sure what to make of that.

    For my part I was unable to find the source code for this on GitHub searching with DuckDuckGo or Kagi. The site itself offers no information on who built it, either.
