Is this vibe coded?
1 commit. A whole repo. You guess.

Toryu122It really beg on me the question “how did they even get this much star”
I used to see those “stars” are the indicator for if the repo is good or not and now it useless because of AI bullshit
JustEnoughDucksand they seem to have no interaction with coding other than this, at least on this account I mean.
The icon also looks like it might have been made by AI raising the chances if them uding AI in other places.
ScottSending files between radio’d devices remains the most hideously bad application versus the level of technology we are on.
☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆I mean it’s probably the most secure way to send data between two devices.
☂️-i’m partial to localsend but this is still one or two steps above sending it to a server hundreds of km away then back, which is what the norm is.
Imagine the prompt injection attacks you could do if people actually used this.

What a neat concept. I love to see innovation like this. Sure, it is markably worse throughput than basically anything else, but it’s something completely new.
The only situation I can see this being useful in is if wireless RF is being monitored, or a mass gathering where uni/multi-cast is simply infeasible.
As it is now, at least. Would love to see it developed further. I have serious concerns at how well it’d function in low light.
It looks like a vibe-coded version of some quite old tools:
