What inspired you to make this?

I fully expected this to be complements for the output you get from those tools for some reason, that AI generated look. No idea why anyone would want that though.

On a barely-related note, I'm getting a little tired of job openings at startups that emphatically require Shadcn and Tailwind for dedicated frontend development. Shadcn and Tailwind are crutches for "fullstack" devs -- if I'm a really accomplished frontend developer, they make little sense for me to use and hamper what I can do for you. Just a peeve.
