<p>I've been using two open-source tools to prevent, and then check this on my own sites / projects. They are actually pretty good at spotting and they are community driven so they get updates regularly.<p>1. Impeccable (github.com/pbakaus/impeccable) — a CLI that scans HTML/CSS/JSX for 59 deterministic anti-pattern rules. It catches the actual visual tells: zero-offset dark glows on text, 1px borders paired with 40px shadow blur, Inter/Roboto/Geist as the default "tasteful" font.... etc.. I wont list all 59 here.<p>2.Taste Skill (github.com/Leonxlnx/taste-skill) — preventive rather than detective. It's a set of SKILL.md files you load into your coding agent (Cursor, Claude Code, etc.) before generation so the slop never gets created in the first place.<p>---<p>everyone knows about Em-dash overuse, but there are other tells like the dark background offset glow, thick boarders, flat display style, over use of techy color schemes like navy blue (especially with gradients) and emojis in headers as large style iconography. there  are like 5 common fonts ai's use etc.. the key is, your llm is going to reason that these are all good safe choices and even when you tell them to be different they will give you great sounding logic as to why to use them... which is exactly the problem. every llm 'reasons' themselves into using the same choices so the sites all look the same.</p>

<p>Can you share details on the build?</p>

<p>$0. but I use at least $8,000 worth of monthly tokens.<p>I used to have:
$200 Claude-max
$10 github copilot
$20 chatgpt
$20 Cursor<p>---<p>then, I spent roughly $5000 in tokens for a project which turned out to be a dud.
Figured, inference wasn't going anywhere as its now 80% of my day. So, I built a 4x DGX Spark cluster and put GLM5.2 on it. Then put a few qwen models for vision and embedding purposes on my original DGX Spark and completely went local. Tron, my Hermes agent, uses agent storming to orchestrate openCode agents and hermes subagents to handle most of my daily tasks.<p>For fun, I reworked a public Github vLLM Dashboard to track my usage and cloud cost avoided. 
original dashboard was by github.com/niklasfrick but I extended it. 
github.com/Wpnx330/spark-dashboard<p>---<p>For my day job I spend about $1000 + $20 a month in cursor costs.</p>

<p>Couldn't agree more.<p>We don't need large collections of assorted tools in one MCP server. Not trying to detract from the effort OP made... but we need a mechanism for finding, installing and managing our MCP servers effectively. Then monolithic collections aren't needed.<p>I believe collection servers are a band aide for the real problem. Useful for the individuals who built them, and often times not for too many others..... which is why I am building management tools for MCP servers. Hopefully to minimize the need for doing this. Because OP has filled a gap in the path available to them.</p>

<p>I just wanted to chime in and offer an additional datapoint.
I also think the project is cool but the font on the site is a bit hard to read as is. I like the brutalist / minimalist nature of it. It's an attractive design, but the font is a narrow font with low spacing between characters (Berkeley mono?) and when you have a font like that it makes it 'feel' harder to read. If you are dead set on that font, and it does seem like an intentional design choice, you could improve contrast a bit by brightening up the text, an increase the size a bit as well. you do have plenty of negative space on the page to work with. so the extra size wouldn't be to problematic for you.</p>

<p>Working on infrastructure for AI agent systems. Specifically the tooling around MCP (Model Context Protocol). The protocol itself is loved, for sure. But the management and maintenance of MCP servers needs some new tooling. Everything is manual. There is so much room for improvement. Right now I'm working on dependency resolution and config management for my tools.</p>
