So the M5 firmware has some limitations and bugs that broke one of my favourite apps, after a while I found a thread that basically said certain devices don't allow modification of the gamma layer in the display. I started building a util for myself but it grew arms and legs, eventually it turned into a small app which i wanted to share, as it solves night shift issues which are still present in f.lux. If you work late like me, but you like your eyes to not be on fire when you go to sleep, please take a look at Drift :)
what if i told you that there are randomized control trials that conclusively show that the color tint of your screen, blue or otherwise, does not affect sleep?
It's not that it improves sleep, it's that it eases your eye strain before bed, which is incredibly important for people who already work late. Anecdotal maybe, but consistent across the creatives and devs I know.
The Liquid Glass effect `<canvas />` used for 1(!) tiny, barely visible button degrades the performance of the entire website.
Also, why is text selection disabled?
Also, please don't hijack the scroll to make it "smooth", I know it's not smooth on Macs by default, that's why lots of people use e.g. `Mos`, so now it's double smoothed.
Degrade the performance can only refer to the library load time which is 130 KB, a trade off I'm happy with to bring the feel of the product inline with modern Mac aesthetics.
Text selection disabled is a bug, thanks for letting me know.
A lot of mac users have a trackpad which is way too snappy by default for a product like this.
Night Shift has limited control, no quick access options etc.
f.lux has had an issue filed for more than 6 weeks with the solution being wait it out until Apple fixes it, with no confirmation that they are even aware of the issue or any planned date for a fix.
Not sure why you would think the app was vibe coded, nor why that would be an issue like anyone writes every line of code themselves anymore. Not the noble point of principle people think it is. If you're a good developer already it makes you faster - principles be damned.
The website is secondary to the app, and it's purpose is to be clean and simple to understand. I also doubt those websites have WebGL backgrounds, infinite carousels that don't bug out nor payment and licensing integrations that actually work.
Maybe try being more constructive in future, it's nice to be nice.

I think you should have instead filed an issue with f.lux rather than vibe code a redundant app.
The website looks like 50 other AI-generated product sites I've seen lately.
