How does VibeKing know which tool built an app?
Makers can state it when they submit. For app builders that leave a fingerprint in the sites they build or host (such as a hosting subdomain, badge or generator tag), VibeKing also checks each listed site and counts it only when the marker is unambiguous. Editors such as Cursor and Claude Code leave no marker, so they rely on the maker.
