In the README it says

> Do I need an account to try it? Not for the core breathing biofeedback; that works without creating one. Some surrounding features in the app use an account; the part this repo is about does not.

I downloaded the app based on this, but you can’t use it at all without creating an account. Please review your AI’s output.

You are absolutely right and I am sorry. The README is misleading. The core detection runs without an account in the code, but in the published app you currently can not reach it without signing up. README is corrected and I look at adding a guest mode. Thanks for catching this.

Fair question. I do use tools sometimes to correct long reads, but the content (and thus the mistake here) is mine. I should have checked the README against the released app before posting. The README is corrected now, and there is a no-account path for the browser biofeedback demo.

When commenting on HN, please don't copy+paste anything from an AI tool (including a translation tool) into the comment field. This is against the guidelines and stirs up negative reactions from fellow community members.

there is a no-account path for the browser version of the biofeedback feature now.
