The site doesn't seem to understand what anonymously means: "Continue with Google"?

What's the point of having a barrier of creating a throwaway email to post a story?

Think this is funny. How did you make the website? Asking out of of curiosity, it looks like one I made with Windsurf a while back

haha, it will look similar because I coded it with claude and gemini 2.5 pro. During brainstorming I just asked claude to make static html mocks and this is the best version that I was able to achieve. I feel like improving color scheme but AI peaked at this color theme as is unable to give better results

Is this "the future"?

Someone whips up and deploys something with an LLM, but is unable to change a colour scheme because "computer says no".

At the same time you need to register and provide an email. How confident are you about what to do when there's a leak?

fun concept, but why require sign up at all? anon posting seems central to the idea and spam could be managed through creative system design, at least in the early stages

Actually before even visiting - I'd sign up. I make plenty of mistakes in my personal career learning but how you learn from screwing up is what I'd want to learn about from others so I'd be. inclined to post about my own. To err is to human and all that
