Nicely conceived! This is the kind of feature Apple ought to have already delivered with on device models and private cloud compute. Sending many whole screenshots to an indie mystery box, though, should be a non-starter for anyone without the skills to verify what any given update to this app is doing. Your website's featured use case highlights the risks (to you and users) unintentionally well: "How do I export my…

thanks for your comment Ryan!

to answer your question regarding screenshots - I am quoting a previous answer "Ourguide only takes a screenshot when the user asks for the next step.

Edtech companies that offer learn by doing curriculum (look at acloudguru, aquired by Pluralsight) offer labs where they expect students/learners to open their dull tutorials or instructions in a separate browser tab and then follow those instructions to achieve a learning objective .. your product could fit there to hand hold and educate users on all the different cloud technologies.. in short you can fuck a number of boomer edtech companies by making ur product like a education copilot and letting learners use it to learn stuff interactively .. learn how to secure s3 buckets in AWS .. learn how to configure backups or whatever ..
