**#A quick edit to address something important and provide a disclaimer: **
Thank you all for your feedback! This project was “vibecoded” with Cloude AI and serves more as a “proof of concept” for what could be achieved with AI assistance. I’m just a tech enthusiast, and I’m excited to continue exploring new possibilities. I understand there’s a real concern about “AI Slop,” but that’s exactly why I’m sharing this project with you all so that experts who are interested in the idea can offer guidance or even help improve it.
I’ve noticed that many people with home labs prefer to update their applications manually instead of relying on other apps that automate the process. Often, they have to check each one individually. That’s where Vigil comes in. The primary function of Vigil is to centralize the information and give users clear visibility of which applications are outdated, their current version, and the newer version available from several sources. This way, you can decide what and when to update.
To be honest, I hope it ends up being useful to others as it is for me.
If you have a few minutes, I’d really appreciate you trying it out and leaving a review or suggestions on the repo or even here. I’d do my best to answer most of the comments.
haha that’s ok bro, have you rant. I’m a Mr. complainer myself. Although, I’ve been trying really hard lately to avoid “unnecessary or premature criticism” and this shit is one of the hardest things I’ve ever tried. Regarding the security concerns, I absolutely agree with you that this is top priority and mandatory. That’s why we set testing environments for this type of things, right? There’s a common feeling that I’ve noticed from the tech community regarding the usage of AI that to me is similar to “musicians vs DJs” or “classical musicians vs Jazz”, I’m sorry if this analogy isn’t the best one, but these are the communities that I’m more familiar with. Some are really opened, others are absolutely against and concerned (rightly so to some degree) and others fall in the middle. I think what we’re experiencing is more of a huge paradigm change, a clash of personalities and the natural fear of the unknown and changes. Maybe the most excited people are really the ones who knows very little and have no idea of the negative potential of these tools or perhaps the so skeptical ones are those who don’t know yet how to reconcile this shift and what to make out it. Who knows? I’ll end up with my rant too… I hate the “enshitification” of the internet content because of AI lol. I’ve read somewhere that the AI text have surpassed the human generate one in the web :,( Lots of people have claimed that my comments “look like AI”… as if they would be that good at identifying it anyways. I’m not a bot by the way. I just found that Lemmy feels more genuine than Reddit (let’s leave this rant to another time).
Peace bro!
