#62I struggled to use it but it seems like it has potential and I starred it. I love how you land us right into the editing experience. Maybe there's a way to add some kind of short fully featured demo video when a fresh visitor lands? I made an open source fully static web data science studio ( https://ohayo.computer/ ) and it made a big difference to have some simple templates on a fresh session. I hadn't thought of a…

#63I often close tabs by mistake, and there doesn't seem to be a confirmation dialog when closing the tab (or otherwise navigating away from it) while I'm actively working on an unsaved project. Is this something that could be added?

Only if the prospective employer was confused and thought they were hiring a business exec rather than a developer.

#65Sorry for responding to relatively unimportant usability details rather than to the core of what must be a tremendously difficult project. But as one purpose of this app is to showcase your work, perhaps my feedback isn't completely useless and certainly not meant to offend. When I open the home page, I see almost nothing right out of the gate. There's no contrast at all. It's all tiny dark symbols on a vast black ba…
I just want to push back on the contrast part -- you'd be right for most apps.
But video editing requires a dark interface with low contrast, so that it doesn't disturb how you see the video itself.
If you're working on a relatively dark nighttime scene, then bright UX icons would be kind of blindingly bright and impair your ability to work with the footage.
Just look at the interface for something like Adobe Premiere and see how dark and low-contrast it is. It's that way for a good reason.
The usual visual accessibility concerns simply don't apply here because if you have vision problems then video editing is probably not something you do in the first place. In the same way that DAWs (digital audio workstations) don't have accessibility features for the hearing-impaired.

That's not how things work: when you are hiring a software engineer/developer, you are not looking for someone to produce code by the spec (a "codemonkey"), but to question any assumptions and demands before commiting to them.
I wouldn't expect a "business exec" to worry about download/upload speeds (though I'd note that the claim here is that it's all locally running, so inefficient memory usage is likely a bigger deal), so a good software developer would partner on defining the roadmap.

The vast majority of software and businesses are replicative.
If you only hire devs working on unique businesses or those with a sound business case you won't find many. They'll probably be too busy running successful businesses.

#70A meta comment: the level of attention people are putting into their responses is wonderful. No trolls (except perhaps for those two deleted comments, which itself is great). Nobody trying to score points. Just people being helpful.
