As far as accessibility goes... yeah, the lack of semantic markup is pretty shocking! I'll remember to prompt for that next time I try anything like this.
I just tried it in VoiceOver on iOS and the page was at least navigable - the buttons for the days work - but yeah, I'd be very ashamed to ship something like this if it wasn't a 20 minute demo (and I'm a bit ashamed even given that.)
I'm running "Make open-sauce-2025.html accessible to screenreaders" in Codex now to see what happens.
it's concerning these vibe coding tools must be coerced into semantic markup
could that be solved by prefixing every prompt with a reminder?

Definitely. If I had a Claude.md or agents.md or whatever in that repo saying "make mobile friendly sites that use semantic HTML and are accessible for screenreaders" I bet I'd get much better results from them.

would have been fun to see how conference wifi handled that :)
It's also <div> soup and largely inaccessible.
These and other issues could be fixed fairly quickly with a little care (if anyone cares).
Yeah, it turns out those speaker avatar images are 1MB+ PNGs! And there are 170 of them.
What a fantastic cautionary tale about vibe-coding on a mobile phone (where performance analysis tools aren't easily available.)
I just fixed that with Codex - thanks for the tip: https://chatgpt.com/s/cd_6879631d99c48191b1ab7f84dfab8dea
