epstein.md: a 927,400-character file trained to strip every AI-slop design cliché

shippernow released epstein.md, a 927,400+ character .md file specifically trained to skip every vibe-coded AI-slop design principle: no box shadows, no emojis, no 'LIVE' badges, zero blue/purple gradients, and it religiously avoids the 350 most common AI words (delve, vibe, seamless...).
The author says it's the result of 11 months of 8 hrs/day Twitter doomscrolling, aimed at design-needy indie hackers. Critics in the replies mocked that the company's own website is vibecoded and questioned why it got funded — turning the launch into a mini AI-slop drama.
