I tried, but hadnāt been able to test it, because I donāt own (and hopefully donāt ever have to own) a apple device. (personal antipathy against that company )
I donāt really have any feedback as I donāt fully understand what the app is there for.
Is it just a sort of sybil protection or is that app actually managing the wallet, including private key management and stuff?
In general I donāt like the way to force users to use a specific (new) product to use a faucet.
Some promotion is ok, but forcing users to use a special kind of wallet is too much.
Especially in the way coinbase does it with their additional mainnet balance restriction,
it introduces an additional risk to users, who need to use that new wallet theyāre not familiar with to fiddle around with mainnet fundsā¦
Think about the scenario where faucets are mostly used:
A developer built some smart contract and wants to test it on a testnet.
He probably deployed something before, using metamask / hardhat / other toolings, so heās familiar with that.
Now he needs some testnet funds and is suddenly forced to use a completely unrelated product he doesnāt really need and actually donāt want to use, just to get hands on some testnet funds.
Thatās not really Developer friendly.
I think itās not even helpful for the app operator when force-onboarding users that actually have no real interest to use their product. Of course, it pushes user counts and looks great in marketing reports
But I think new applications should onboard users by offering some great feature, so users actually want to use that product, instead of forcing them by using the rare testnet funds as the actual āfeatureā.
However, I donāt want to prejudge your faucet - as said I havenāt been able to test it
If youāre just using the app as a sybil protection to check for the apple id or so, thatās something different in my eyes. A little bit over-protective, but thatās up to the faucet.
Sorry if that wasnāt what you wanted to hear, but youāve asked for it
I tried testing it already some weeks ago, but couldnāt proceed without the apple stuff.
I didnāt write yet, because I donāt always want to nag around about new faucets.
Like others youāve probably invested a lot of time to build it up and if you didnāt steal funds to run it and donāt sell these funds for profit, itās definetly nothing to critism too much
