I posted this for the htmx-curious, who can use fake emails and fake data, because you're absolutely right: no one should be signing up for random sites with their real info.
I am an HTMX enthusiast, I'm not so worried about privacy and such, it's just a barrier to a good demo. I should click that link and see something that knocks my socks off -- that's a good demo. Providing an email and password to log in for the demo would be one way to grease those skids, but I really should see something on the first page that makes me interested.
That's fair. I'd probably go through the effort to do that if I was trying to promote my product, but I'm just here promoting htmx/webawesome. Or, more specifically, I've seen plenty of comments on HN asking if anyone has examples of real sites using htmx, and there's been surprisingly few, so I just wanted to do my part and add one lol
