Cool idea! I approve of the privacy oriented design. But it looks like you didn’t actually test this on iOS as automatic text correction is completely broken.
Also your website appears to have been written and generated entirely with an LLM. That doesn’t inspire trust.

There’s no better way to get a lot of testers than to have a Show HN.
I’ll confirm - there are cursor bugs on iOS. Both on newlines and autocorrect.
I’m personally more forgiving of an LLM “helped” site, if it looks like there was a human in the loop for the process. An LLM has more context about the design goals and architecture than the reader, so if it’s an informative page, I’m not personally bothered.
But I’m probably in the minority.

A human is needed to show how app’s technical features are relevant to a particular audience with a shared social context. As the LLM is not (and should not ever be) a participant in that social environment, any marketing it generates will almost certainly land as tone deaf or presumptuous.

That’s the “human in the loop” part. Use the LLM to generate a copy and the human to refine it.
If you think successful campaigns these days are always entirely done by humans, then I’m afraid you’re mistaken.
Also, I know that LLMs might sound wrong to many, and I get where this is coming from.
For me, AI gives me, as one lone developer, the power to create and implement these ideas. It helped me translate and do so much more. I agree this may create a feeling of distrust, and I don't think it should not replace thinking.
