We're launching iconicoal.ai — what do you look for in a free stock photo site?

We built iconicoal.ai as the public gallery for the COALS AI platform. Free-tier users generate images on COALS, those images go through quality review, and the ones that pass get published as free stock photos for anyone to download.

A few things we did differently:

- Every image is originally generated by the platform — nothing scraped, no reference images, no recycled databases

- No account needed to browse or download

- No watermarks on downloads

- No upsell or "premium" gate

We're launching soon and genuinely want to know — when you use free stock photo sites, what frustrates you the most? What would make you actually come back to one?
