    This is cute and interesting but I would really prefer, as maybe a general rule for vibecoded projects, that we try to not just place the thing you've built onto the internet, but also give us context for your context. This is what READMEs were for before we decided to turn those into a workspace for LLMs

    Like yes, I can infer a lot about what this is, what it's doing, etc. but its trivial to get claude et. al to make a one-time onboarding screen that actually gives me an idea about what this is supposed to be, how realistic it is, what the numbers mean, what the features are, etc.

    Edit: I say this in particular because I FIND THIS PROJECT INTERESTING! I WANNA KNOW WHAT IT DOES!!

    What I thought this would be:

    (Not a comment on the quality of the submission - it's also fascinating).

    Whoa this looks like it could be a game.

    Is there a game like this??

    I thought this was about the actual US Power Grid, which is hilariously vulnerable. Right now you could ask your agent to crawl Shodan and trivially shut down a small power plant in Puerto Rico if you wanted.

    Why are there 5 different animations for switching between light mode and dark mode. I guess whoever made this is very interested in the big dark mode button in the top right corner.

      Because it's vibe-coded, and the "whoever" is really a "whatever."

    in reality, that solar field needs to be 80x the size of the nuclear plant. so about 30 LCD displays worth of area to produce that amount.
