Short version: Two seperate "vibe-coders" used Claude to create an app--which turned out identical. And then the coders went after each other.

I looked at the replies to this post, did some more digging, and found the actual story is even weirder.

BOTH projects were generated using Claude. So you have two people - both generating the same app from the same training data - having a public throw down over who copied who. Kind of embarrassing.

No, the other app was published on GitHub just a few weeks before, it can't be inside the training data.

It's more likely this: Claude code can and will do web searches to integrate the prompt if too generic or dubious, found the competing GitHub repo with the same name, got the claude.md with all the description, features and inner details, and rebuilt the copy on that.
