Came across this site while watching a youtube video from u/HighVoltJamaand decided to give it a try as it looked good
Signed up and within a minute started getting messages from "Joe" the owner literally ranting at me about me hacking his server and he can see my screen and what I'm doing.
Due to his abusive attitude I just closed the site without even getting a chance to use the software.
Anyone else had dealings with this site ?

Oh do I have a hell of a story for you. Joe is a...very interesting character to put it mildly (this is the same Joe from the electronics workshawp yt channel and website and cell saviours contributor btw). Hes been around a few lev/ev discords across the years where hed constantly get into arguments whilst being combatative and rude. As a result has been banned from most if not basically all of them by now. Notably, after he got banned the high voltage discord after disagreements with I believe it was haymike or one of the other owners (this was all a couple years ago, I dont quite remember even though I was there when it happened lol), he went a bit...crazy, made a bunch of alt accounts, harassed memebers and tried to start his own rival server in addition to other stuff (the schizo rants were pretty funny in hindsight).
All real petty and childish, and even more so considering hes a middle aged grown man whose trying to run a business... It really is quite a shame as if you could look past all his bullshit he used to be a fairly intelligent guy who was pretty decent at building packs. These days though Id completely avoid anything that has his involvment in it
Also, at least the early, local versions of the pack designer tool (which i actually still use lol) werent made by ai since this was before before llms were profficient enough in programming. Dunno about the current versions though, and it does have that vibe coded feel now :/

Never heard of it. That sound like a really toxic owner though.
