This app was released when it's very clearly still in its preliminary
You will be stuck at login unless you have an invite code. So it's clear only certain users are supposed to have access to this app. Which begs the question, why was it released and not on beta testing when it clearly isnt ready for the general public
Response from developer
In a world of endless AI bots, I built cove to be a place for real people to share their art and experiences with other real people. As of today, I’m confident there are no bots on the platform and this is largely due to invite-based access that requires an existing user to vouch for someone by giving them their invite code. Thank you for your concern, but this is not in beta, and the invite-code requirement is by design!
