Yeah, I don't want to upload my data to a random website I've never heard of, just to see what the heck it does. You NEED a few examples, otherwise users will just close tab.

I uploaded a screenshot of the front page of hacker news https://i.imgur.com/aTqN3qA.png

Maybe it's imgur but this looks so bad. A tweet with examples would be better choice if you can't update on the website quickly

OP here. Thanks, that's good to hear. I got journalists at a couple of the big newspaper players here in my country (Norway) to purchase subscriptions, and after seeing these pop up in articles rather often, I felt that I had sold myself short with the $5 monthly fee. One of them (VG.no), is like the 2nd biggest site in Norway, with 70 million visits a month. I guess I'm bad at business.

$5/yr is too much for the casual user and too little for big newspapersq

Nit: It’s 5/mo not per year

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 i…

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…

I seem to recall a similar discussion yesterday. I agree with you but I think I'll sit this one out :)

I may have made some bad choices in the past 48hours. Yr def making the wise choice. <3

I'm sure you put a ton of work into this, so it's really unfortunate that I can barely tell what this really does or why we should care. Also the "Ready to go pro?" thing seems very rushed and presumptuous. Like, I'm not even sure I'm ready to go "Free" yet

I'm surprised to read this — while the examples could be more cleanly presented, I felt like the title for this post and the initial gif on landing show what this does reasonably clearly. I do see what you mean about the PRO part.

I mean, the fact that it’s not properly protected doesn’t really give you the moral right if “don’t want to pay”.

If the author was that serious about this as a business they would've done it server side -- or better yet sold the unburdened source code at a one-time price.

If you are running someone else's code on your computer you are entitled to change it, morally. The fact that most other programs make this hard to meaningfully do is another problem.
