    • + 1 I think it's important that people learn the capabilities and limitations of this tech, and this seems a great way to examine it.

Objections

  • Content is too cutesy and lacks practical utility

    From 1 comment
    • I wish it was more useful and less cutesy. The cutesy ChatGPT stuff is fun, but doesn't have that much utility or clear reusability. Tagging might be enough to help? At least if…

  • Screenshot-based uploads are hard to reorder and prompts are too long

    From 2 comments
    • Cool idea. My only complaint is that I found the UI for uploading screenshots pretty cumbersome, especially since they weren't initially organized in the order in which I had…
      Imnimo on HN
    • Hey this is cool :) I posted a couple of interesting ones, thank you. Some of the most interesting prompts are very long, by the way. It would be good if you'd let me instead…

  • Google-only sign-in is a privacy concern

    From 2 comments
    • Hey, neat idea. What's the reason you have to have a Google account to login? https://imgur.com/a/q9uGZgo

    • Sign up with Google only. Reminds me of some thread in the comments of this other post today. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33917962

  • Images failed to load due to bandwidth limits

    From 2 comments
    • Is it me or have the images stopped loading?
      OBFUSCATED on HN
    • Sorry about that - the site exceeded my plan's allowable bandwidth on Filestack. I upgraded to a beefier plan so it shouldn't be an issue anymore.

Requests

  • Support text-based sharing instead of only screenshots

    From 2 comments
    • Super cool idea, thanks for building and sharing! One possible suggestion for future iteration: I think it's a bit of a shame that everyone's been sharing ChatGPT outputs almost…
      nickvincent on HN
    • Thanks, totally agree about sharing screenshots. I originally started building the site intending people to share text-only examples, but it gets complicated with the formatted…

  • Add tags, sorting and categories

    From 2 comments
    • Great project, thanks for sharing! I think it would be more useful if there were more ways to sort and organize the content. Right now there's only "Front Page" (I assume that's…

  • Add discussion comments on submissions

    From 2 comments
    • This is fantastic! One thing I’d like to see however would be discussion of each submission, Eg HN style..
      indigodaddy on HN
    • Agreed! Comments didn't make the cut for the v1 but will ship soon.
      matt1 on HN
  • Offer email sign-in or GitHub sign-in

    From 2 comments
    • How about GitHub? I refuse to use Google to sign into anything except Google.
      granneman on HN
    • I'll likely add email-based sign up at some point, but it increases the likelihood of spam compared to allowing Google OAuth only, so it made more sense for this v1 to exclude it…

  • Build a Chrome extension or bookmarklet to save transcripts

    From 2 comments
    • Suggestion: make it a bookmarklet[0] instead of an extension. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bookmarklet

  • What is the copyright status of ChatGPT outputs for commercial use?

    From 1 comment

  • r/ChatGPT subreddit

    From 1 comment
    • There is also the r/ChatGPT subreddit for even more prompts. My impression is that the prompts on reddit tend to be more story/writing/roleplay oriented than the ones on…
