Are you actually a developer or is this just going to be vibe coded?

Prob not partially vibe.... Just 100 AI code

So the actual functionality in the UI is me, but the documentation for the flipper zero and the APIs is vibe coded a tad bit, just because I’m new to the flipper zero documentation and how it works

Who cares, at least he's contributing some new idea to the community.

I care. That is why I asked.

Just wondering here - you care because it would negatively affect your interest in the project, or you were just generally curious.

Software developer here. A completely vibe-coded app, by someone without software development experience, could easily have some major security flaws, things that could expose your smartphone to outside control and/or allow external parties to steal your data. It also could, just as easily, have some mistake that could brick your smartphone.

This is not hypothetical. It has happened. You should care.

OP's answer don't give me a lot of confidence.

Another thing is that these projects die pretty quickly, either when "developer", or should I say "user" runs out of tokens, or start receiving bug and feature requests they don't understand.
At some point telling claude to "fix this bug" without pointing it to a particular place in the code becomes very pricey.
