The app looks nice.
However, I'm curious what dataset was used to train the model behind this app. Did the artists whose work was included consent to their art being used for training?
This space is ridiculously crowded and the value-add of most of these services pretty 1. low and 2. identical. If you can't hook me I'm not going to bother with any friction in the pipe. I'd bet you're seeing massive drop-off between your landing page and anyone opening the app.

I would love to know too. Finding decent vectors for stencil work was difficult before “AI”, now every site is full of AI slop.
If you know anything about flowers or botany, every search result for a given plant is full of AI generated amalgamations of different species that no actual artist would call what it’s labelled.
If I were able to somehow generate my own and ensure accuracy that would be amazing but I’ve yet to find a suitable tool or workflow that doesn’t involve going back to school to learn illustrator or back in time to develop artistic talent.
Edit: To be clear I don’t mind paying for graphics at all, but it has become 100x harder to even find what I’m looking for to do so because of the torrent of crap!
I think you've answered the question. It's really easy to generate slop now. AI to build a standard front end, AI to generate content. It's like geocities again, but no labours of love; not much labour at all.

more users than content raises concerns with me.
Why are there so many text to vector/SVG subscription services being promoted on HN? What's the best open source model for this?
I don't know the absolute answer to this but this one looks pretty good https://replicate.com/ideogram-ai/ideogram-v2a
