okay after digging through the repo, I also would say that it is heavily AI assisted. E.g. this Pull Request (which is the first one I opened randomly) seems like 90%+ AI:

https://github.com/wintermeyer/vutuv/pull/1434

I speak German and the PR text is just strange AI slop text. It reads like a Google Translate text from 2009 and is overly verbose.

That UI is just like a common web framework, which heavily trained by AI.

They seem to use Claude Code, but the page itself does look like standard framework to me. But tbh I don't know.

you can take a look at their source here: https://github.com/wintermeyer/vutuv

The GitHub is what I mostly based my assumption onโ€ฆ seems very reliant on LLMs to me. Canโ€™t say for sure obviously, Iโ€™m sure some humans just write this way. But most donโ€™t.
