Makes sense lol, it's all great advice so far though so I'm pretty happy with the responses and everything. Plus there were some things I hadn't thought much of, like trying to reassure users that I'm not doing anything nefarious with their email when they log in with google.
But that's what the nefarious people would also say...
It should be possible to show the editor without the login-wall, but with the text input being disabled and be replaced by a pre-defined input like "Write me a story about bunny rabbits" (I don't know what your app is supposed to do so this is my understanding after reading the scant descriptions), and tell the user to hit "Generate story!" - but when they click it, the mock-up won't be talking to ChatGPT, instead it will just get a response (or one of several bunny rabbit stories) you've stored as text.
That way you don't need a login-wall, and no one will abuse the project and eat up your ChatGPT tokens (is that the reason for needing a login?).
One of the reasons is that yes, although not the main reason. It was just easier to add a login so I can more easily save the stories they create and show those same stories to the user when they want to
