It looks really cool, best of luck commercializing it however it seems a little too simple for that. It produces an image almost exactly like I've takes a photo of my monitor, so I could just take a photo of my monitor rather than buying the HD option? It's also possibly a bit too easy to replicate in an hour or so (e.g. apply image as a surface texture in threejs and screenshot/canvas-capture that, together with sta…

It was about 20 mins using React Three Fiber (not counting a bug filing related to their npm dependencies).

Why would this be a subscription? It could just be a standalone app for $10 bucks and you'll probably get more lifetime revenue that way compared to having a subscription, because in a year more people will buy for $10 than will subscribe and stay subscribed for long enough to overcome that revenue.

Right. I (reluctantly) accept subscriptions if there is something the company does for me every month - in this case it's a javascript app that runs in my browser. There is no countervalue per month, making it unattractive.

Yeah, my impression is that monetizing could be worth it for professional bloggers, but then it would need to be more than a one trick pony like this.

I'm also not sure if this is the only effect the app can do.
