The website lets you type in an entire prompt, then tells you to login, then dumps your prompt and leaves you with nothing. Lame.

Got caught out by this just today. Just wanted to try out because it appeared as if I can try it out.
I noticed ChatGPT and others do exactly the same once you run out of anonymous usage. Insanely annoying.
Hn does that too. You've typed out a long response, oh sorry you're posting too fast. Please slow down.
It's intentionally hostile and inconsiderate.
Rule #1 when typing longer texts into webforms/textboxes: ALWAYS do a CTRL+C before you click submit.
At least on HN you can Go Back in your browser and restore the page before submission with your post in the box.
But it would be _much_ better if when you hit reply, it gave you a message that you're "posting too fast" before you spend the time to write it up.
That's because you're in the bad user doghouse.
You don’t lose the message though, so it’s infinitely less annoying
