Doesn't ask for an account to upload a picture, but as soon as it's done uploading you MUST create an account or you won't even see the final result.

I really have a problem with this, as it even uploads the photo first and only THEN asks you to sign up. That means you can't even delete the photo without giving them more data. It's just "safe and secure in the Amazon cloud" forever.

All unprocessed files we removing automatically, they are stored securely, no need to worry. We will think about how to make the registration form better, thank you for your feedback

Hello, my name is Denis, and I'm CEO of neural.love: thank you for your feedback, the account needed to deliver you a result, generation could take around 5-20 minutes. If you will close the registration popup your uploaded file will be deleted automatically. However you are correct, it is not as transparent now that we would like to ask user to register - we are in beta currently, and your feedback is important for…

Denis, first of all: really cool product!

It’s also fair to ask for registration in order to prevent abuse / record consent for terms and privacy.

However, it would be best if you asked that before uploading the photo. Many people seem frustrated that their data was processed and now they must create an account to see the result/delete the data.

Once again, it looks great, it’s just an expectation/transparency issue :)

Edit: If it’s ok for you to disclose this, what kind of infra are you running on? Just curious.

We will change the way registration works on Portrait HD today, thank you again for your feedback :) It will ask to register before the upload itself

We are on Amazon architecture right now with 15+ servers, 5-20 minutes only because there is a 600 tasks in the processing line and it's quite long, we have launched it today

Thanks again for warm feedback :)

Ho'boy. Last thing you should do is tell people on HN not to worry about security. :)

"Created 34 minutes ago Waiting in a queue… You will get an email upon portrait generation." Not sure if this is legit or just a way to collect data. I find it odd that it has been 34 minutes and my image is still in queue.

Sorry for that, there is 600 tasks in a queue right now, we are working to make it faster :)

I just uploaded something but I won't create an account. How long until my data is deleted?
