- nicely designed app, great work! - sliders on the right side are very difficult to use, instead of hover to select it would be better as click to select - have some sort of onboarding that lets me know I need to put in my api key

Thanks yousifa! I see, yeah, there’s no expectation for hover sliders, I’ll consider making them drag-only.

What led me to experiment with hover was that three-finger drag is not the default macOS behavior and therefore native controls have to be dragged through click-press, which I always found too cumbersome for how wonderful the MacBook trackpad is.

Good point on the onboarding. I considered prompting for the key on first start, but then I thought one would try to run first or anyway, which is when the field pops up now. I’ll make something that can be then extended to having other providers, custom endpoints, and local models.

Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate it.

I made the parameter sliders hover–and–click. Thanks again!
