Of course it hasn't. He can just publish it and all his ball licker fans will just gobble it up.

What was his Mastodon clone? I feel like his name sounds familiar, but I'm blanking on the app/website name now.

Thanks for the reply.

Looking at the code, it reads like it was written by LLM: chatty commit messages, lack of spelling/capitalization errors, bullet points galore, shit-ton of "Fix X" commits that don't read like they're increasingly-frustrated, worthless comments randomly scattered like "i + 1 // add 1 to i" without any other comments on the page.

No security review because none of the code has been reviewed and he doesn't know what's in it.
