Honestly I can just swap these bad boys in and ship in less than a couple hours if it'd be funny enough. I don't think they're bad designs at all, and I don't think every aspect of my business needs to be unique and obsessed over.

IMO this is like judging landscaping companies for all using similar looking shovels.

Why would you do that, when you can make shit nobody needs 10x faster with AI

hyperhello• 1 month ago

The author should have AI set up a simple deployment to EC2 and Azure and make an endless series of semantically meaningless AI companies with web sites and submit them everywhere. The web sites should also do this themselves.

psadauskas• 1 month ago

I've mostly stopped caring about using using proper capitalization, commas, grammar and spelling in my writing of comments, primarily as a signal that i'm not an llm.

frantathefranta• 1 month ago

Claude's "write me a product description like a cool human would" is just using lower-case where it shouldn't be though.

nozzlegear2• 1 month ago

If you turn on HN's "Show Dead" setting, there are tons of LLM-generated comments on stories related to AI. You can see the human(s) behind the LLM trying to fiddle with the style of comment by making them skip proper grammar, capitalization, use or avoid certain phrases, and so on. The biggest tell for LLM content, though, is just the content as a whole: it sounds fake and ungenuine, like it passed through a committee of hostage negotiators to remove the speaker's own attachment/expectations.

They can configure it to use all lowercase letters, skip em-dashes, make grammar mistakes, stop saying "it's not X, it's Y", or whatever, yet the content itself just has a fake quality to it that makes it stand out, which is why those comments still get flagged IMO.

quotemstr• 1 month ago

The problem is that omitting capitalization, commas, and so on signals, in addition to "not AI in default settings", but also "I'm part of the San Francisco AI in-crowd and Altman is my spirit animal".

otter-in-a-suit• 1 month ago

I had this conversation the other day. I'm a native German speaker originally, which is why I hand out commas like it's candy and capitalize things unnecessarily. Sometimes I notice these things and leave them in when I write something, since at least it gives you a good indication that a human wrote it... for now.

abustamam• 1 month ago

I stopped doing that long before LLMs were commonplace because I couldn't see a point in it. Like, the entire concept of spelling and grammar is arbitrary anyway. Proper English and spelling of the 20th century is not the same proper English and spelling of the 18th century.

For example, "you" was originally the formal form of the second person pronoun, and thee or thou the informal form. Many writers who try to write midieval period pieces tend to get this wrong though and just use thee or thou as a direct replacement for "you."

And then English spelling and pronunciation is just chaotic anyway.

I won't go out of my way to misspell things and I'll do my best to use the best grammar and spelling I can, but I'm not going to consult an llm or grammarly to make sure it'll get no notes from an English teacher when my only purpose is to comment on HN or write a quick update on slack.

"Countersignaling" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countersignaling) might be the better word: "Countersignaling is the behavior in which agents with the highest level of a given property invest less into proving it than individuals with a medium level of the same property."

ghurtado3• 1 month ago

The thing about humor is that you don't have to tell people when you don't get a joke, you can just quietly continue to live your life while you wait for your next chance to be temporarily happy.

marknutter2• 1 month ago

I get the joke, and I do appreciate it. I shouldn't have been so flippant in my comment, I was more just pushing back on people who disparage others for using ai to create websites.

avaer• 1 month ago

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.

epolanski• 1 month ago

Same for clickbait thumbnails, people hate them, and yet don't really click on non clickbaity ones.

thewebguyd2• 1 month ago

In the marketing world this is called revealed preference. This stuff is A/B tested to death. Anyone trying to sell something is best served by watching people's behavior instead of listening to what they say, as the two are often different if not polar opposites.

wnevets• 1 month ago

Its like when people say they hate politicians all the while they've been voting for the same Senator for the past 30 years.

I really wish there was a way to filter out the soy-O-face thumbnails entirely. I do not like them. I do not want to see them.

wavemode• 1 month ago

I don't think the commentary being made here is that startup websites should not be flashy. Just that, maybe they don't all need to look exactly the same as each other.

jsdalton• 1 month ago

It seems to me the parent commenter is saying the opposite: looking exactly like each other _is_ the point. It's a form of social signaling, to indicate that a project "belongs" to the in group of high-flying successful AI hype projects.

Note I'm not arguing that this is a good strategy. But given that so many people follow it I imagine it's not as bad as it appears on the surface.

dayjah• 1 month ago

I think homogeneity is an unavoidable end game for the internet (unfortunately).

At work we’ve been discussing whether to migrate off our home grown component library to Material UI. I shudder at the thought, personally. However, a compelling reason to use a ubiquitous framework is that the ubiquity means folks intuitively know how to interact with your product.

Like many of us I was born into a deeply customizable Internet, all of my websites were green or red on black. They were a glorious amalgam of fixed width fonts and <blink> tags. With occasional wingdings characters for fun and games and complex <table>/<tr>/<td> tags for really epic layouts. They were l33t, honestly ^_^

But, as time goes on and more and more people use this thing, converging on the one-true-UX feels like a net good thing assuming the fundamentals are right. To some degree the LLM-ization of the Internet is essentially the end game of squashing the personality out of the Internet which bootstrap started.

We’re on the cusp of spoken word being the core UX of computers with a fall back to reading the LLM transcript, neither of which benefits from <blink>

everforward• 1 month ago

I think they sort of do, it’s a form of signaling.

It’s the same game we play verbally with slang. Slang word gets made up, people use it so others know they’re in the group that uses the slang, usage spreads until it’s no longer a group indicator. You see it all the time as an age grouping. You can almost guess someone’s age by the slang they use for “good” (cool, lit, bussin, etc).

This is the same. Startups invent a new UI style to separate themselves from the incumbents, incumbents eventually copy the style, cycle repeats.

theturtletalks4• 1 month ago

It really comes down to first impression. Your website design is your company’s first impression. If the design is clean, people will believe the product is clean and robust as well. Similar to how people think things that cost more and probably high quality and better overall.

As for this website, the best component is the ASCII animation in the hero and you can’t even copy that component. In fact, that nice ASCII hero is what gave me a good first impression to go thru all the components.

freehorse2• 1 month ago

My first impression when entering websites with such "hero animations" is noticing my gpu usage spiking and my power consumption increasing by 20W because somebody thought it was cool to have some pointless but "cool" canvas/WebGL/CSS (or whatever it is) animation.

sidewndr46• 1 month ago

I worked at a startup that had an unusually fancy landing page. I noticed that it was sluggish on my laptop. Someone pointed out there phone tended to heat up when showing it off to customers. We poked into what the contractor had done. They apparently used some bezier curves to animate stuff in a nice way. Each time the animation moved it computed the entire bezier curve to some superfine detail then picked a point in it and put the elements on the page.

_the_inflator• 1 month ago

See? It is about goals.

There is a reason why landing pages don't use distraction.

As a platform lead and product lead with millions of customers, be assured that you are not your customer. Never ever think of you as the focus of your website if you want to have success in business.

If you want to sell or marked and money as well as the slightest bit of seriousness is involved, you have to follow industry standards and never your own taste which is highly misleading.

Boring first is a good statement and principle to follow. Always track and A/B. There is a reason why all landing pages look the same kinda, and at least follow a certain structure.

Any deviation from it won't help you, even though you personally enjoy your personal website. You would be surprised what other visitors think about your website, how they perceive it, use it, and I mean literally everything: browser size, smartphone model, screen size, scrolling, click behavior, colors - everything.

I am so glad the psychology of online sales has matured. It is in everybody's interest to work in a trustworthy environment and using the right approach signals a company acknowledges and appreciate its customers.

I learned it the hard way, but got the lesson. I am totally different. I find many landing pages fishy, while they are the most successful there are, and like exploring on my own as well as fantastic animations.

On the other hand, I value the text only principles of everything serious from archivex and Pubmed. I am a developer fist, who loves animations sind decades. But this is bad for business. ;)

brightball2• 1 month ago

I use a Substack site for the conference that I run. The popup and subscribe buttons everywhere used to annoy me...but they work. Went from 0 to almost 1,000 subscribers on an otherwise low traffic site and it's by far the best way to reach people.

The IT people know no one's really buying just off the flashy website alone - because they don't! - and that it'll get management to okay it.

sgsvnk• 1 month ago

There are 2 kinds of people- people who understand tech and people who use tech, in the ratio 1:9 (or even lower?). For the 90%+ people who like using fancy tech and feel smart/intelligent, the bling on your landing page is necessary.

Terretta• 1 month ago

“TokenStream – Server-sent events (SSE) were added to the HTML5 spec in 2008 but never used until 2025.”

I remember chunked transfer encoding shipped in 1997. It's been possible since then to readily and easily stream bytes of text or chunks of html the way everyone sees LLMs do today.

I used this to write a web based telnet client in 1997, and later a text moo / chat for the web. In both cases used a frameset so your line to send was at bottom of screen, the incoming lines were server-sent as things happened server side, and scrolled the client as new lines came in.

There were other things you could abuse before that, but less reliable.

But yeah, talk about things nobody used....

COMET was so far ahead of its time. Sierra Online used it for their webchat in 1995 and it was absolutely the best webchat out there for years

wuliwong• 1 month ago

I get the whole trope thing and maybe I'm just an old man but I still am kinda impressed when Claude sh*ts out this type of UI 100 times faster than I ever could. It might also be that I never could have made UI even of this quality before AI. (˶ˆᗜˆ˵)

kfarr• 1 month ago

Some of these are actually nice and appropriate to use in certain contexts. Also this issue is hilarious: https://github.com/vorpus/performativeUI/issues/2

aogaili2• 1 month ago

It's still better than the sh*t developers produced three years ago.

Some people just like to feel superior by shaming others' work. You can easily tweak the visual output if you want to, but it's good enough for most use cases and better than what developers used to produce.

So, it's progress.

chrisra• 1 month ago

I love how this is both hilarious and extremely well made. Great job!

And I'm gonna be honest, I kind of want to use a few of these components for real (the ASCII art is fantastic).

reactordev3• 1 month ago

I was going to say that too. Some of these I definitely am guilty of. I have a few dozen that aren't on the list but it's a breath of fresh air to see it so well organized even though, we all know what it is :D fantastic job to the author(s).

lizhang8• 1 month ago

please share your few dozen components

pseudosavant• 1 month ago

Agreed. I am impressed by both the satire of this, and the very high-quality implementation. It is so well executed, that it is hard to laugh at the absurdity of the lemmings-like patterns modern AI start-ups have fallen into.

phatskat2• 1 month ago

At first I had a good chuckle of “this really encapsulates the tropes, even down to being React” and the more I scrolled through the components, it looks like a very serious library - lots of knobs to turn and consideration for various implementations!

timcobb• 1 month ago

Yeah this is incredibly high quality (at least on the surface, who knows what's underneath). Great job authors.

iishanto• 1 month ago

Starred this, my next project is going to be classified as slop anyway.

jdw643• 1 month ago

The funny thing is, the techniques shown here are the ones that were once considered something only advanced front-end developers or publishers could do. Seeing that a former symbol of skill has now become a subject of satire makes me think that what we call 'high-level' ultimately comes from what others can't do. I personally never even thought about how to implement ASCII art animation.

kidfiji• 1 month ago

It's less about "can't do" and more about creativity :)

jdw643• 1 month ago

Well, yes.

arboles3• 1 month ago

Yeah, it used to function as proof-of-work but then the market was flooded with cheap printed circuits that trivialized the workload

wbobeirne• 1 month ago

As someone who used to pride myself on being able to make complex graphical designs a reality, it has definitely put me into a little bit of an identity crisis. But ultimately I think it just pushes you to find the things that are still hard for AIs, which in turn continues to differentiate your work from what everyone can now generate.

Feels similar to the move away from realism to impressionism as the camera became available.

manoDev2• 1 month ago

Such is everything: at first, painstakingly crafted; later, mass produced.

Cthulhu_4• 1 month ago

I for one am happy never to have needed to use assembly.

shimman• 1 month ago

Maybe once before but the web animation library has come a really long way over the last 5 years. Another thing to look into if you haven't in a while are container css queries. It makes responsive fluid design quite easier than how it was in 2015.

The web browser APIs are in a great state nowadays.

doginasuit• 1 month ago

If this is the UI you want to make but you recognize that it has become cliche, the best way to do it and keep your hipster dignity is to make fun of everyone who likes it and wants to use it.

Actually quite good for a meme library! Unironically considering using some of this, or pulling some inspiration from it at least.

Also, I'm curious as to when the animated gradient text started being a popular thing. I started doing it back in 2021 or so. I think I was inspired by some of Apple's webpages at the time.

It's funny how many people here like it. Well it doesn't surprise me since the websites being upvoted here from startups look like this too.

Personally I barf when I come across a website that looks like this and close it immediately. It's about as appealing as stock images. I also immediately think that this is for a SAAS that will be bog-slow, expensive and only integrates with github.

azangru• 1 month ago

Well, at least the copy on the site reads like satire. I didn't notice it at first, looking at components; but then I started reading the text.

P.S.: The popover description is brilliant:

The obtrusive newsletter modal every AI startup deploys. Takes over the entire viewport with a blurred backdrop. By design, neither the Escape key nor backdrop clicks close it; the visitor either submits the form inside or clicks the tiny dismissal link at the bottom. Pair with `timer` to auto-open after the visitor has skimmed a few paragraphs.

myaccountonhn2• 1 month ago

Yes I think the satire is brilliant. It really does feel like just another saas.

LucasOe• 1 month ago

Fuck. My personal portfolio website has like three of these components, even though I don't like using AI for development.

It needs some kind of "Japan" component...don't ask me what it does or how it looks like, but sites with performative UI will need some kind of reference to Japan.

rubyevans109• 1 month ago

This is hilarious, I have definitely written components that look exactly like some of these before. The 'loading animation that looks busy' one hits too close to home. Do people really fall for this stuff in demos?

Haha well tagged, "Performative", finally a place for the majority of vibe coders to reference to and switch from blandly coded UI.

merveceylan• 1 month ago

As a designer I've thought a lot about why these tropes spread, they're all basically an "I belong to the club" signal. But once everyone wears the same costume, the costume stops meaning anything. This nails that.
