Sure thing, but it would be great to be able to see examples of the app on a mobile device when visiting the site. Otherwise I have zero incentive to open it on my other device. My 2 cents is don't bank on being mysterious. Show us the goods without making us sign up, change devices, or work for it.

I personally loathe this trend of making us login after giving us a prompt box.

Just show us the app, your github does this well! Otherwise your lost in the sea of AI marketing pitches that overwhelm us daily.

It's honestly not so much being mysterious as much as the UI is not usable on mobile. I don't think we'll support mobile for a while given the extra design constraints that it imposes.

I do too, and am very aware of how HN/other engineers feel on this topic. It's mostly a way to get around abuse and access issues. We have a pattern moving forward for guest accounts, but couldn't prioritize it in time for this launch.

I think not needing to sign in is a good way to kick the tire which helps growth as well. So point taken to prioritize this higher. Thank you :)
