#172Claude requires a phone nu.ber to sign up and the won't accept a Google number so they are completely un-usable. I would love to try their services, but they refuse to take my money.
Is this for the paid version? I'm using the free version, and it hasn't asked me for a phone number, but if the paid version requires a phone number, my reaction would be the same as yours: sorry, no.
I was unable to use the free version without a phone number.

Uuuh.. so take all my data, as long as it's native?

Does it allow you to create custom agents like OpenAIs GPTs? I can't find it in the documentation.

#178Yet another Electron app... In comparison, ChatGPT's awesome client is native.

#179if your "desktop app" gives me a cookie consent banner, i'm going to assume it's a pretty lazy effort to have a desktop app. i can click the "install page as app" button in chrome myself, thanks.
On the flip side, the ChatGPT desktop app is native on Mac and it's buggy and feature-incomplete compared to the web version.

I’m nearly 40 and I can’t use light mode anymore.
