I agree. Without this post, if I visited the page without any prior knowledge, I'd have no idea what this is about, and would have no incentive to sign up.
The only way I'm showing people this website is a personal text or this hacker news post, which I would hope gives enough context.
I also saw your other comment about the "test" account (didn't feel like replying on both places). Thank you for that.
This looks pretty cool, and is definitely useful! Do you have any examples of what the printed out cards look like? Perhaps in comparison to real cards
The red bordered cards are the ones I just printed, real cards are on the right. Also all are US sized, the real yugioh cards are slightly smaller than that.
I tried to get a couple diff angles and card types. Like I said, totally good enough for my use cases!
Wizards of the Coast is relatively litigious. I'd expect a Cease and Desist if you get any traction with this.
I think the problem is money changing hands which isn't happening.

Yeah I wonder why https://scryfall.com/ never gets a C&D. I think the problem is money changing hands which isn't happening.
Love the idea and technology - I’d much prefer if the output of this was an MPC order since that’s how almost everyone is making proxies these days. Getting my entire cube printed was only about $100 and they are indistinguishable from real cards.
Imagine a proxy only tournament of any card game, where you have to submit your decklist ahead of time and it is waiting for you when you arrive, ready to play and keep.

TL;DR: Use them all you want for play testing but don't use them in events or for trading.
Edit: They DO want a watermark for proxy cards, not sure they enforce that much since most proxy sites make it optional.
Having your home page be just a login button is a bit disappointing. There's no screenshots and no information about how it works (or information at all for that matter), which doesn't really convince me to create an account (in my mind, the process of picking a deck and printing it is not one where requiring a login would be obvious, so some more "convincing" might help). I don't want to sound mean-spirited, but I'd…
If you want to play around with it, try account hn@example.com with password hackernews! I didn't add any restrictions on email registration because I hear you that actually creating an account can be a chore. Exposing web services to the public internet without auth seems scary, which is why I rarely do it.
