The output is quite cool, but why on earth have they locked interaction with it away in discord instead of having it available in the web? It basically guarantees that most people won't know about it, won't interact with it, and won't be able to view the results. It's just a deeply weird design decision.

I used to think that way too, but putting it on a social platform has a lot of benefits. New users who don’t know how to write prompts can learn from others and discover new artistic styles and concepts. It brought me up to speed much faster than DALL-E’s web based interface.

Probably has a split effect. I saw no way to interact without discord, close tab.

I for one will wait for secondary sources and if this is so great I might end up creating a Discord account. But not just to check out for myself if it's cool or not.

Same here. I'm not a gamer and Discord isn't a thing in my world. I simply closed the tab.

To iterate fast and get something in the hands of users. I can guarantee they want their app on every platform under the sun someday, but things take time.

But I'm sure this is restricting the number of users who access it as "people who use discord" is a significantly smaller number than "people who use the web".

This is obviously on purpose for the sake of the beta. Compute power is not free.
