I flagged your post and hope your project will go to oblivion, not that because it would not be nice but because you are using fucking serious dark patterns!

Like I arrive on the homepage, to give it a try, it is like "go, just type the description on the park and we will generate it", so I spend time crafting my requests, and when you validate, you arrive on a fucking login-registration-wall.

I'm not against needing users to be registered, but that it something that you should tell upfront before users waste time trying to use your tool.

And the dark pattern doesn't stop there, behind the registration-wall, you have another deceptive practice, a dynamic "loading status" like "connecting the dots", "mixing the palette", ... that is running to give the impression that the generation is running when it is not at all until your register.

Hey, thanks so much for the feedback although obviously hurts a bit for wanting something I just created for fun to go into oblivion.

I totally understand your feedback though. The issue is that AI costs a lot of money under the hood, and so we needed some way to know if a user was hitting a limit. Will think about how to make that more clear upfront.

Thanks again for your feedback.
