Looks interesting, but inviting users to try your service, letting them put in effort (in this case typing a prompt) and THEN forcing them to login is considered a black pattern in my book.

I understand some form of rate limiting is necessary, but this bait and switch setup always feels like a kick to the face.

Yeah, it says it will create an SVG in seconds, but seconds later, there is no SVG. Did not occur to me that I had to log in, but probably won’t as I cannot be bothered to follow black patterns…
