Show HN: TravelGPT Adventures: Your Guide to Experiencing the World with GPT

Can't you give us a hint of what this does before demanding an account sign-up (although, I imagine it's just a "you're a travel advisor" prompt for an LLM API, possibly with some context from scraping relevant websites).

Have any of these "anonymous startups" ever taken off?

I don't know why someone would build a project and not attach it to their own identity. Like their personal blog, Fediverse- or Twitter-account. Feels kind of cold. Before I sign up with something, I would want to see who is behind it.

This one seems particularely scary as it is part of a web of similar sites which all do the same thing: Ask for an email to access a simple frontend to the OpenAI API. I wouldn't want my email to go into that pool.

I have been watching Show HNs for over a decade now and as far as I remember none of the sites that hide who is behind them have ever taken off. Or are there any counterexamples?
