Congratulations! The app and the site looks really cool. A very very small issue on website. In the FAQ section it says "Every files gets processed on your device only" I think "files" should be "file" there. Nothing really important, just my perfectionism :) Keep up the good work!

Maybe I'm old school, but I won't "buy" (rent?) subscriptions for software. I expect to own it outright, at to receive at least security updates for a reasonable time period.
Do you expect to receive a free car every new model year after buying one outright?

#63Excited to play with this! Noticed early on you ask for device password. I understand why you are doing it but this is still pretty sus, any other way to install the libraries as needed w/o pw?

#65* The "* If the upper image crop handles are all the way at the top, they aren't clickable, they don't show the resize cursor. When you drag them it moves the window instead of the crop handle
I have a few suggestions:
* I'm not sure how feasible this is, but I think video should have a similar combined crop/flip/rotate UI instead of separate ones like for photos
* It seems like batch processing is a first class notion in the app, which is definitely very handy, but I think maybe it should be a mode toggled by a radio? I think a lot of use cases are just one off uses, in which case the UI can be made a lot simpler. If I'm just working on one file, I would prefer to be dropped right into the tool editor rather than having to click edit.
* 2 devices for the extended license is still a little too limited in my opinion. I would make it so authenticating the app to a computer requires access to the email that purchased it, and then make the extended license unlimited. I don't think you have to worry about that getting used for a team since it would require access to the email account.

#67how are you able to get around ffmpeg licensing since it is client app which requires you to open your code if you use ffmpeg GPL?
Re: Show HN: I completed shipping my desktop app
#68Earlier quoted context omitted.
It does not require that you do that. It only requires you to open source any modifications you've made to ffmpeg.
it is slightly more nuanced, if you do static linking it is considered derivative work and does requires you to open it. Since the app is based on ffmpeg which is GPL(core is LGPL) i am curious to know how it is getting used.
