I've worked on several projects where people looked at the site, which was simple and straight to the point, and people would straight up tell me they didn't take it seriously because it didn't have these performative UI things on it.

It's like when a Youtuber's audience complains about how they're constantly asking you to subscribe. The reason it happens is because the statistics say it works.

The most extreme virtue-signal is to go completely browser-default and have no styling whatsoever. Like lowercasing because your pinky can't be arsed to reach for the shift-key even though you've a billion dollars in series A.

These all look very professional for (basically) a parody library

That ascii lava lamp effect is low key really cool

Adding github link for those who want to use it (I do): https://github.com/vorpus/performativeUI

I could see actually using this…

My Claude feels personally attacked.

Savage and accurate. 100%.

Many a true word is spoken in jest.

This needs an additional subscriptions service tier, that's even more performative and even more AI

It's very fun and way too polished, thanks!

Very funny. Although ironic that this whole library was built with AI.

Spot on "AI Native".

It needs a purple gradient mode.

NGL I'm going to steal/borrow/leach all sorts of these for my product.

When in Rome!

Man... That's satire on a whole another level. What a technical and deep sense of humor.

Now I can produce slop without AI.

Nice UI quality

Lmao!!! Awesome

I heard you like AI slop...

Neat, opened an issue there for a finicky bit of code that'd help me quite a bit. /s

Yawn. This is just bootstrap all over again. So what if people who don't have design skills can now create pleasant looking websites?
