Verdict for news.ycombinator.com

Findings
- Vision analysis (placeholder) — No ANTHROPIC_API_KEY configured. With a key, Claude examines the screenshot for AI-generated imagery (garbled text in images, the DALL-E look, unfinished edges), hero/content mismatch, redundant sections, and fake demo personas.
- Writing analysis (placeholder) — No ANTHROPIC_API_KEY configured. With a key, Claude reads the full page copy against the inverted anti-AI style guide: rhythm, coherence between sections, specificity, and tells the regex pass can’t judge in context.
- No Terms of Service — No Terms of Service link anywhere on the page. Shipped products have one; weekend vibe-code projects usually don't.
- No Privacy Policy — No Privacy Policy link anywhere on the page. Shipped products have one; weekend vibe-code projects usually don't.
