Bonus bug report, underscores in filenames seem to mess with things. E.g. DCS_0035 and DCS_0036 both resolve to DCS_(1), overwriting each other.
This is a big issue and I'm pushing the fix update ASAP!

#112Earlier quoted context omitted.
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?
My car comes with free recall servicing (security updates) and a manufacturer warranty.

There’s some similar apps… maybe not one that combines all these though

You can just right click any HEIC File and convert it instantly to JPG from the Finder.

#115They way you present the pricing makes it seem like a subscription. I really needed to look twice to notice that is actually not a tiered subscription. I would highly recommend to change the way you present the pricing to make it not look like any other AI-SaaS.

#116Looks great, beautiful landing page and it looks like a labor of love! - Most of the page titles are the (same)[1] which doesn't seem good for SEO. Each of the pages like "Pricing" or "Compress Your Video Files" should be differently named. - The "video compressor" tool would be much more useful if you could enter a target file size. This is a frequent use case, if you want to send a video over email or social media…
Does SEO really matter still? I have seen a few videos that show how the SEO algorithm works a few months ago, at least googles, and you basically can't optimize in that regard.
The app developer showing his desktop app here is also a part of SEO, so it always matters.

#117I was wondering how you got around licensing issues, looks like you require the user to install ffmpeg and imagemagic separately which at least respects the license.
Just a question seeing as you are targeting Mac as one of the platforms. Did you concider using AVFoundation for some functionality on MacOS? Similar with Microsoft Media Foundation on windows? Although both of those would have less supported formats than ffmpeg licensing is much less of an issue.
If you ever do want wide support without the pains of having the user install ffmpeg then for video MainConcept is what I've generally seen used.

#118What about lossless cut? The only good tool I used is Machete. Avidemux is all right but less stable.

#120Keep up the good work. Both desktop and cloud apps solve problems for users, but there is no doubt a different kind of old school PC era charm in using the former. There is a sense of freedom that comes from the ownership of software and platform while you work with it.
