Only related to this:

>P. S. Photopea runs in a web browser and I think 60% of businesses do not trust such tools, as they are used to "own" the software and have it in their device (even though Photopea never uploads any singe bit of data, everything runs in your computer). It will probably take decades to change that.

Honest question, can it not be made to run (still inside the web browser) locally?

I am not familiar with the software, but how does it work in cases of poor/intermittent internet connection?

Hi, I am the creator of Photopea :) When you open Photopea.com, about 1.5 MB of data is loaded to your computer (most of it Javascript). Now, you can disconnect from the internet and use it "offline". It works the same as MS Paint, Photoshop and other programs work :) using your CPU, your GPU, your RAM.

Have you considered just straight-up bundling the functionality in a standalone Electron app? I'm sure businesses would eat it up.

Thanks, then "nothing" (or next to nothing) would prevent it from being delivered just once (talking of a hypothetical licensed/paid version), saved and then run when needed even with no internet connection or when (if) photopea.com is inaccessible for whatever reasons.

Personally I don't have any need for it professionally, but generally speaking the "online" approach has been and is a (psychological) show-stopper for other "online" programs (but mind you I am old and not necessarily right or representing any number of businesses ).

I think he is probably wrong about that. My experience has been that corporates hate installing anything other than Office (they don't really like that much either).

What they do want though is a feeling that you will still be around in five or ten years so their assets don't end up being stranded.
