Am I required to sign up after setting it up? Why that was not requested from the beginning? Quite a dark pattern right there.
We tried to keep the setup process slim: Step 1 is install, step 2 is pin (I guess technically this could be moved later but in testing, without pinning it, users couldn't find it to do the other steps), step 3 is required to make it functional at all (blame chrome manifest V3). Would your preference be to sign up before that?
You can install the script above (copied here: http://tweeks.io/share/script/bcd8bc32b8034b79a78a8564) to remove shorts, no login required :)
> I expected to be able to create a script for myself locally.
When you click to generate a script, a (non-local) LLM assists with the generation. We have tried hard to make something work locally, but it isn't viable with current tech. I apologize if that wasn't clear from the post.
> Why would that lead to spamming requests?
The unfortunate truth of public launches like this is that there are always some bad actors/abusers. I've launched without auth in the past and been burned. Even today, I can see people spamming email sign ups, poking around different endpoints, etc.
Totally understand the friction that auth introduces, and I'm sorry for your experience.
