yep sorry about that, that's to avoid spam bankrupting me on the backend costs.

Out of curiosity, how much is a HN front page appearance costing you on the back-end?

If you’re willing to share of course. I think many HN readers would be interested to know how “kicking the tires” traffic on an AI product like this compares to a traditional web app cost wise.

I don’t think it’s a bad thing. Keep the sign-in!

But also a demo would be cool!!

I built a Twitch bot hooked up to one of the avatars, you can try it without signing up (as long as you already have a Twitch account): https://www.twitch.tv/heyastrocyte

The idea is basically an AI twitch streamer, you talk in chat and they respond. In this case it's AI Naruto!

Thanks for the feedback! I'll put together a short demo as well.

Even a short YouTube video will be enough.
