You built something. Maybe you used Cursor, Claude Code, or just had a long conversation with an LLM that ended up generating most of your codebase. Your app works. It solves a problem. You packaged it as a Flatpak…

Sure it's not a crime but I don't want your vibe-coded shit mingling with my actual code written by actual humans.

the question becomes, is it the end user’s decision to decide what packages they download/use or is it the repository/package manager’s responsibility to show end users which apps are allowed to be used or not.

I understand the objections to vibe coding, but for those of us who don’t care how a good tool was built (when it actually is good), this just forces us away from your favorite platform. Like it or not, this is the present and these AI tools are available. People will use them.

That said I think it’s utterly ridiculous that this article was written using AI.

So download the release from the tool’s Git{Hub,Lab} page.

> But the policy doesn't distinguish between someone who prompted an LLM to generate an entire app in five minutes and a developer who used Copilot for autocomplete while writing 90% of the code themselves.

How is using autocomplete "Vibecoding" now? I remember y'all that the "definition" for vibecoding requires the "prompter" to not look at a single line of code

Autocomplete with an LSP is fine. That's always correct.

Autocomplete with an LLM, which generates snippets for you is just a lubricated version of "copy and paste back and forth between chat window and code window"

> One shared that they were flagged for using Claude Code to submit the pull request, not to write the app.

Who is opening up an LLM to run git push?!

You don't open the LLM app specifically to run git push, you're already in the LLM app, using it to generate code, and having that app operate git as well.

So, in that case they didn't just submit the pull request with claude...which makes the quoted sentence incorrect

BASED. I'm going to feel a lot better about getting software from Flathub from now on.

Well, there is still AppImage, this might be the right way to go with in this case.

Flatpak has better software isolation and support
