New Theme: WrikeTheme-for-Kanboard

A modern, minimalist theme for Kanboard inspired by Wrike’s clean project workspace aesthetic.
Replaces Customizer, EssentialTheme, and Moon with a single self-contained plugin that includes syntax highlighting, a settings UI, per-user night mode, and login page branding.

Nice work, really. I think I’ll give it a try.
But sorry, may I ask you for a declaration that this theme wasn’t built with any AI help?

Yes I’ve used Claude and used these themes as reference:

  • Moon
  • EssentialTheme
  • Customizer
  • ColorManager

Very unfortunate, as I won’t use or support any piece of software not completely written by humans.

Sorry and thank you for your honesty.

What would be the difference?

The spirit of sharing code is to contribute to the software you use. I don’t see a difference between doing it 100% by hand or with the help of new technologies.

In fact, you remind me that something similar was said when open-source code was first used.

I think there’s a contradiction in this area of sharing and contributing.

First off, please note that I don’t want to attack or offend you personally in any way.

Well, in fact there is, at least for me. All these AI termites have stolen content by grabbing other people’s code without permission to do so and ignoring any licenses for the publication. This I have to ask myself: Do I accept a gift when I know it’s stolen, even partially? Answer: NO. Do I ever buy stolen items? Answer: No. Do I let my car be fixed by a shop when I know they are dealing with stolen parts? Clearly NO.

I definitely stand for hand-crafted code, created by humans that know code and specifically know what they are doing. Thus I entirely refuse any form of Vibe-Coding results.

Remember, you are not a creator or author of the software, maybe a composer or co-author with the AI tool in use. I state an obligation to name this fact in your publication. People have the right to know that in advance.

You possibly might name it silly, but this is my principle or way to fight against that overwhelming AI robbery.

Sure, I get why you’d say that stolen code is being used. But following your logic, isn’t that exactly what using open-source code is all about? In that case, would using “free code” or “other people’s code” count as stealing from them?

If someone makes code available for others to use—and eventually adapt to improve it—that’s called sharing.

Note: I don’t speak English, so I’m “stealing” the language by using a translator.

I understand Alfreds view… But I and many others I think say thank you for your work :wink:

No. The license mostly allows using the code as it is or forking and republishing it after adjusting it to your specific needs. Then I’m still recognized as the originator of that work. The AI thieves don’t care about this.

Apples and pears. Sorry, the topic is too serious. For me, it’s EOT here.

You’re calling me a thief and trying to brush this off—that’s not cool, buddy.

Anyway, thanks for the feedback. Next time, I’ll be more careful to provide more details in what I share.

END OF DISCUSSION.

Wonderful, I never completed my own css hack, also using AI a bit of course, and I will test this you have submitted. Thanks.

I made a bug report at your Github. 2 weeks ago. Do you pay any attention to your repo?

Okay, let me see and I’ll resolve if is a bug. FIXED!

I can see that.

Will check again oncoming days.

Re implemented the theme, found a new bug. This time I was able to fix it. You have a bug report on your github.

Would it not make sense to actually follow up on your bugs and close them as they are solved or how do you even use github ?

Are you developer too? Maybe you can suggest fix for it

The fix is in the bug report, did I forget to describe it? No it is there. More bugs on the way once I localized them in code and see if I can replicate their behaviour between tests.

I would not really call myself a developer, but I tend to mess around with code occasionally, and all that has gotten so much easier the last three years with AI helping me do the heavy lifting. Then again, looking at @alfredb here, I spend a lot of time testing and changing / correcting things so it works perfect and the way I want it to. The thing I can not check very well by myself is that the code is safe, but I use 2 different AI’s and a LLM to do as many checks as possible and test as much as I can, both in a prod and a test environment.

As I mentioned, it is a tool, and tools can break or be used in the wrong way. It is up to each one of us to have the moral compass and decency to make sure you don’t cause mayhems.
