Typed out an entire prompt on the homepage, hit enter, was redirected to sign-up & completed it. My few hundred word prompt wasn't saved/persisted. :'(

Having dealt with similar problems on the implementation side it's incredible how in this day and age it's still so difficult to pass state through sign-in or sign-up.

Half of the reason appears to be how the Oauth 2.0 standard is written - it purposefully forbids browser-specific items like the hash fragment in the URL. For passing state you have the "state" field but, despite the name, its original purpose was to prevent XSRF attacks, not store data.

Vendor libraries don't go to huge lengths to help here, as they settle on complying with the standard.

Why not just use OPFS?

Thank you for the feedback! we will consider them both for the website and the product. We have several examples in the product, we will push them to be present on the webpage

No you won't. This is just corporate soothing.

Show us the results. Don't talk about the future. Everyone can yield empty promises "in the future". That means nothing.

Requiring login after getting user input is a dark pattern.

This bad implementation of it makes it even worse.

I hate it with a passion and I will boycott services that do those inconsiderate things to me.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Mobile is tricky, since such design software are very difficult to use on a small mobile screen. We are looking into it though. How was the generation?

It's not tricky. I literally told you how it should look like on mobile. Still generating, 53 minutes.

As a counter point, I would not like your proposed design.

Why would you use 50% of the screen space when you can have 100% and flip between prompt and render?

Whilst a valid complaint, I'd not even entertain a response with this attitude.

What if you're redirected to a different origin? Not a common use case, but it does occur when you e.g. have several services and select where to go in the sign-in form.

Ideally one should be able to pass structured state throughout, but all we have is `state` really.
