Thanks, Twosdai! My initial hesitation about adding a database wasn't really about technical complexity, but more about keeping the product and design simple. A few questions came to mind:
- Do we need accounts? If so, would that add too much friction? If not, could we identify users anonymously through a browser-generated ID?
- As more trees are generated, will the visualization become difficult to manage? Perhaps we only display a subset of them?
- How should we handle inappropriate or offensive inputs? I imagine we could use a moderation library or filter.
My main goal is to keep the experience lightweight and focused on the generation itself. That said, if a database would make participation easier and lead to a better overall experience, I'm definitely open to it.
What's your take? I'd love to hear what's on your mind.
So that's why it tries to log me into Github, to make a PR so I can add my name? Yeah, a simple database would be much better. Loses most users right there
Really cool!
Why does adding a name require a PR? Could it be handled with a database instead?

Thanks, ericfr4! If more than one person finds it valuable, I'll add a simple database.
I just added a tiny database. Please try it again. Thanks for this valuable suggestion!

I just added a tiny database! Although you've already submitted a PR, thanks for the great suggestion! I really appreciate it.
