Definitely excited to see how it holds up to daily use.

So far it gave me exactly what I wanted at the top for all of my test queries that were well formed.

As for asking “ignorant” questions both your service and the goog failed where phind gave me an actionable starting point (after a prodding follow up question: https://www.phind.com/search?cache=hmul4znpn7y4ei6qa64fosmc )

Unsure if this sort of thing is even a goal of your project, but you won over a new user.

Wish you and your team all the best.

I have such fond memories of driving around listening to these tapes.

The anticipation of the inevitable good time as I opened a case and put the cassette in the stereo led to the cover art making my heart race. Even just looking at the thumb nail of this video gave me flashbacks to the pure joy of a child.

His obsession was Motown and the rhythm and blues of that era and I still love that music and claim it “raised me”.

This company, and my fathers curation, is absolutely responsible for forming me into the person I am today.

The tapes were a complete education of that moment in time in music, and we listened to them on repeat for years.

I sometimes wonder what is lost by the infinite scroll of contemporary streaming services.

When we’d listen my siblings and I would rotate on picking our favorite tunes. My siblings would change it up and pick different tunes from the options each time their turn came around, but, much to the frustration of everyone else in the car, at the age of 6 I only ever wanted to hear one song: “Rescue Me” by Fontella Bass.

Still one of my all time favorite songs.

Unsure about you all but there’s only one reason I might use a square of toilet paper as a bookmark.

The problems you present seem easily managed with an option to sign up while limiting certain use cases to those using the service anonymously.

I like a limited local first design, and a “demo login” with a simulated fully featured account that I feel allow a person to make the decision to share a piece of their identity with our product without any stress or coercion.

I tried to acknowledge that they may think the sign up is necessary for them, and that is a completely acceptable decision to make. I was just pointing out that it carries the risk of turning away weirdos like me.

If I was to build something in the LLM space I would likely try to glean some answers to these questions by cold emailing the phind team to ask them what considerations went into their decision to provide their tool in the way they do.

Chiefly, a desire for privacy and anonymity. A signup will identify my interactions with an endpoint dedicated to me circumventing other privacy and anonymity measures I take such as fingerprint resisting and use of VMs and VPNs.

Also, sharing my email puts me at risk of having my email forwarded against my will or without my consent, as well as potentially clogging my inbox with endless "promotional updates".

Finally, I am unable to make an informed decision whether the risks of sharing my email with this company is worth the utility of the tool it provides until after I try it.

I think a fair response to your question is a question of its own: What do they want with my email?

If the sign up is a necessary barrier for your needs is for you to decide, but I just wanted to let you know that I was excited to try your product for my wood working and 3d printing needs until the required signup.

Just some anecdata that even a little friction can be a hindrance in people using your product.
