I tried to package the Fluxer Desktop app for Nix by actually building it instead of just wrapping the App Image. They dont have build instructions but i thought "how hard can it be to build an electron app?"
What opened up beneath me is a convoluted build process that is tightly coupled to running on an Ubuntu image on Github Actions in a 5000 lines Rust script that is invoked 30 times, writes env variables back and forth to Github Actions, and has some insane code.
I ignored the signs before because i wanted to believe in the project. But turns out Fluxer is vibe coded. And i would honestly forgive it if i could fucking build the desktop app myself.

I keep saying it again and again, but all those vibe-coded projects use Rust because the LLM can just permutate a million times until the compiler gives its okay, where's if those projects would be written in Python they would just fall apart more obviously.
