  “gandalf-” isn't a valid GitHub username.
    Not anymore you mean. It was 12 years ago and those accounts still exist

    The cards are not World Cup cards (I thought it was in the style of the Panini sticker album), and judging by the style of the whole website, it tells that this was vibecoded.

      What’s the actual objection to it being vibe-coded? Would it somehow be more respectable if someone had wasted precious human hours hand-coding this silly thing?

        It would be impressive as a labor of love, right? Most memorable gimmick sites from the early 2000s were like that.

          Yeah, I mean having AI generate it is fine for me as that's the world we live in today. It's just, until few years ago, the meaning of such projects was different. "Do cool things and talk about it". That's different from "Pay somebody 50 bucks and show the result" or "Have AI generate code and show the result".

          Will take some more time for people to accept that such projects (oftentimes) are no longer "labor of love" but "I had that cool idea and let AI implement it".

      Yeah, FUT-style rather than literal World Cup cards the World Cup's just the timing.

    Like the concept. I actually like the competitive part of it. Reminds me of playing Fifa Years ago.

    I rarely click on things like this, but this was brilliant; I enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing.

    Scrolling on mobile seems to cause sizing changes in the image. No idea what the stats are supposed to represent. I wouldnt call it World cup style, this mimics fifa ultimate team cards?

    Questionable ranking algo. Easily hacked. We shouldn't and don't really need to "gamify" GitHub stats as it's likely extremely unhealthy.
    • yunexx3 hours ago
      it's a fun toy, not a serious benchmark. The gameable signals (followers, issues) are deliberately log-scaled and down-weighted so it's not trivially hacked Its a card for fun, not a leaderboard to optimize your life around.

    Apple isn’t accepting new dating apps on iOS at the moment but one of my stealth projects was called Roster

    It presents dating profiles like baseball cards

    And acknowledges how people that identify as monogamous are not monogamous - they aspire for monogamy and have a deep discomfort with people that identify as nonmonogamous despite the aspirationally monogamous doing the same things in a harmful way

    so “Roster” is just keeping up with the nomenclature and adding some honesty to it

    There is a nonmonogamous side too for people that have that level of communication

    But the twist is that we inform you when you are in an accidental polycule with varying levels of privacy and disclosure hehe, as well as tools to communicate about it the way that nonmonogamous people have promulgated

    The athlete card style reminded me

      Could you elaborate further on this idea? At first, I just disagree completely, but I'm missing your reasoning and the actual thesis behind this idea.

    Ineffably magnificent...

    I love it... Though I am not into the football much or at all, such profile custom generators are always miraculous... They highlight how magnificent, important, and significant the history is... and that every single live you wrote, you thought about and materialized, the actual effort, work, and love of people... for support, contribution, creation, discovery... will always be acknowledged eventually in respectful, wonderful, beautiful manner...

    Thank you... heartfelt... dear authors, developers, Artists, People... for the miracles you do...

    I so much hope... the website itself is not AI/LLM-coded... or is a slop... otherwise, everything above is not about it, and never will be. I hope so much it's not... please...

      It has apparently been developed using LLMs. However, it's not vibe-coded as in no-thought development. According to the commit History, the developer first defined a design system and a product requirement document, which is one of my favorite ways of developing software nowadays (even if it's not necessarily "agile" or modern), specially whenever LLMs will be around the codebase.
