**#A quick edit to address something important and provide a disclaimer: **
Thank you all for your feedback! This project was "vibecoded" with Cloude AI and serves more as a "proof of concept" for what could be achieved with AI assistance. I'm just a tech enthusiast, and I'm excited to continue exploring new possibilities. I understand there’s a real concern about “AI Slop,” but that's exactly why I’m sharing this project with you all so that experts who are interested in the idea can offer guidance or even help improve it.
I’ve noticed that many people with home labs prefer to update their applications manually instead of relying on other apps that automate the process. Often, they have to check each one individually. That’s where Vigil comes in. The primary function of Vigil is to centralize the information and give users clear visibility of which applications are outdated, their current version, and the newer version available from several sources. This way, you can decide what and when to update.
To be honest, I hope it ends up being useful to others as it is for me.
If you have a few minutes, I’d really appreciate you trying it out and leaving a review or suggestions on the repo or even here. I'd do my best to answer most of the comments.
Absolutelly vibecoding it with Cloude. I understand a bit of python and html but I'm no dev or technical professional at all. I just wanted to see if I could build something useful without much of technical expertise.
I appreciate you being honest in your response here.
I'd recommend adding this disclaimer to the post text and repo readme for complete transparency, and so anyone who doesn't want to use AI-generated projects can move on without creating arguments in the comments.
There are many genuine reasons to not trust code generated by LLMs, especially with anything network-connected or handling important data, so it's important to be upfront about it.
Hi markko, you're right, adding a tag would certainly lower expectations and give more clarity to projects. I'll add this on the post and to the repo.
EDIT: removing this comment because I don't think you will use this feedback responsibly
Hi @ramielrowe thanks for the feedback, that's actually pretty good and I'll start using it. I understand that all this AI thing can be sloppy, and create more friction than good, but I'm really fascinated by how it can help people with little knowledge to build something that a few years ago would've been only possible by experts.
