Show HN: Guess The Painter – A web based simple(idea) but hard to play game

Feedback from someone who bounced within the first second because of the signup requirement. I would like the play it but honestly I couldn't care less about the leaderboards.

Just finished creating this quick game idea. The idea itself is not that complex but it's surely hard to play the game. So, basically you'll be shown paintings(mostly old ones) and you have to guess the name of the painter. You get to see your stats, and a global leaderboard.

I didn't want user's to register for the game. But to store leaderboard data I had to implement signup. But it's only being used to create the leaderboard, nothing else.

I agree with the others, the signup made me bounce immediately. I think it could be interesting to do as a versus game, where you could share a game link and compete with your friends.

Why does this require a login?
