Great app, but I wish it was available as a desktop app, similar to Natron, rather than just online. Some people may not have the capability to access the app online.
Would you use a macOS native application for 2d animations?

If most people use 20% of the features of an app, and you create an app that covers these most popular feature really well I think it's fair to call it an alternative. It doesn't say "full clone" or "feature parity".
I could not seriously pretend of a 'feature parity', if I can match 10% of features, that should good enough for most users. I'm not expecting the next Marvel movie to get its SFXs done with PIkimov.
The cool thing about the word alternative is that it does not mean "drop in replacement".

You can have a local program which hands off rendering to some other server (eg. A cloud render farm) but which can also render locally. I believe blender can do this, for example. Nothing web specific about it.
> Nothing web specific about it. Except I have to have those servers to run it on. It's the basic premise of why cloud vs onPrem. I didn't think that really needed to be stipulated at this level on this particular forum.
You can make some software which supports local processing and cloud processing.
That software then does not require servers to run on, since it supports local processing.
In this way it remains accessible in the future and scalable right now. (Assuming local processing would be slow enough to hurt the experience)
Honestly, I didn’t think this concept needed to be explained at this level either.

#284Pikimov sounds like some russian guy's name. An odd name for a project.

it is so easy to avoid Google analytics as a product developer nowadays that this is really a misplay (e.g. goatcounter, etc.)
It is so easy to avoid GA as a web user that i’m surprised anyone concerned about this isn’t using an blocker that blocks GA scripts and requests themselves.
why not both?
