    Why does this need a Google sign in? I know it's been mentioned by others but hard pass.

    Landing page nailed it, aesthetically.

    ok so what makes this bloody brilliant is that it can claim to have the modern features of windows with the online user account requirement LOL

    Why do I need to sign in with Google? So you can scrape my email? Why not just ask for my email?

    For everyone wondering why the google sign in is required it's because the "app" gives you 5 free tokens to play with. It needs to be able to track that and just using google as your identity solution is way easier than rolling your own.

    "Sign In With Google" -- nope! Not drinking the verification can for your novelty toy. That's how people's data got scraped off Facebook by Cambridge Analytica.

    I described minesweeper and it came up with something, so that's fun.
