I signed up on iOS, Sign In with Apple, cause I don't go around giving random companies my actual email if I can help it

and sure enough, I was right to do so: They don't even let you remove your payment method afterwards. Every other store, Steam etc., lets you.

No way I have enough trust to install their desktop app after that, so I just want to try it through their website..

Can Sign In with Google, but not with Apple

so you gotta open the Passwords app, copy your random email, paste into the website, then copy the OTP from your email..

It's been that way for at least a year

The desktop app was clunky too the last couple times I tried it a few months ago

and the AI itself hasn't been that hot compared to ChatGPT/Codex either: https://i.imgur.com/jYawPDY.png

So all the Claude hype posted on HN seems like a case of the emperor with no clothes to me

(P.S. The thing I just now tried to do on Claude hit the weekly usage limit after 2 minutes)
