for people building with ai
AI tools get an app working, then leave everything else at the defaults. These guides fix what the people using it notice: how it looks, how fast it loads and whether it’s safe. All from things that broke in my own apps.

GUIDE
Forms are where vibe-coded apps quietly break: missing labels, invisible text, buttons that do nothing, errors nobody sees, open endpoints. Eight checks, with real fixes from our own apps.
GUIDE
Emoji used as icons are one of the clearest signs an app was made with AI. Why they look off, how to find every one, what to swap in, and the code to do it.
GUIDE
The purple-to-blue gradient is the most recognisable sign an app was made with AI. Why it happens, what to use instead, the exact CSS and Tailwind, and how to check you got rid of it.
