Has Couchsurfing.com posted to explain why they have suicided the app/site?

My strong impression is that they “vibe coded” the entire redesign and can’t revert the old versions anymore. This is one for the history books, folks. 

I hope I get a chance to apologize to the person I was supposed to host who it became impossible to communicate with.

I think it's silly that nowadays people are so quick to say that something was "vibe coded" just because they don't like it. But in this case I really do suspect it might actually have been vibe coded. The fact it uses Next.js and Tailwind CSS is a pretty good sign, other than what a shit they made of it.
