Welcome to Hacker News. And what a post for your first post, too :) Omniclip is already at the level where I could have used this for a recent project, for which I had to inset a video inside a slideshow (I ended up using pymovie, but it was time-consuming without a GUI to help me align everything). As for feedback, I think an undo system could be a good next feature. I really appreciate that it's FOSS!

I 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?

I think I would be able to add that, also your project is saved every move, either when you move some clip on timeline or on canvas/player

Thank you so much for working on this! I strongly believe that we need as a community to invest in an open source video editor based on the web using WebCodec. I did a talk last year to beg people to work on it! https://youtu.be/0cb0Bq4gLPo?si=7sPcAuH_9CDzM4xg

Let me know if I can be of any help. vjeuxx@gmail.com

Ah, thanks - I see it now! I was trying to use Ctrl-Z and didn't notice the button.

> I get that it's all client-side, but that is not an advantage to people working with video files, which are often large, and upload speeds are often the biggest bottleneck.

This comment seems strange to me, can you explain it better?

I would guess that for most video editing, source files will generally be either on some form of local storage, or will hosted with a cloud storage provider. Unless your server side editor is also providing your storage, I don't see how this is a benefit. Source files will generally be significantly largers so waiting on uploading material till after you have the finished result seems better for slow connections.
