Just a note that your front page doesn't look great when using dark mode on Firefox Android (in particular the stabby 't' disappears into the background leaving "Screenshots that sick out" which is quite funny but not what you were going for!).

you mean aside from the fact that it requires downloading a huge multi-purpose program that starts at $21/mo which is built for significantly more than just those features and the user must use a lot more brain space for what they want to be a simple task?

Do it for free with Photopea. And this would be just about one of the easiest "Photoshop tutorials" there is to follow.

Photopea is nice, but their website is not friendly. I could see why people would prefer to pay and have a simple website to use.

Why do you need to use a snide tone to convey your point? Just make it in plain language, don’t be rude.

Yeah fair, I'm one one today. I genuinely thought this was a joke at first. But you're right, I should just put my money where my mouth is and make a github pages or similar that replicates this functionality as something that you can download and keep forever, how hard can it be? It's utterly disgraceful to charge money for something like this as a service, but that doesn't excuse my conduct in response. The implica…

Why?

I was wondering : is it a client side JS transformation? Yes.

Then how will the developer monetize it? Sending it to server for something, anything? No, rather watermarking the image client side. Or NOT doing it if you pay.

It would be interesting to watch this project succeed. I want it to. That will mean there's good business case in similar projects.

Six months later, an "I made $xx from this app" will be a more interesting post than the project itself. $xx can be any amount. Even if it's not that high.

What if a corp signs up as a consumer and uses $1 pops?

Mr. TotallyNotCorporate which makes 20 orders a day? Totally not a corp. Just add "more than N screenshots a day are considered corporate usage with an according plan", ask to upgrade, ban.

Just let them give you $20 a day.
