Feels like we're burying the lede here focusing on firefox/chrome or having to login when it's really damned impressive that you have an entire video editor in the browser.

So it seems like codec support allows viewing individual frames, and you've got some kind of ffmpeg script, and some kind of totally canvas based ui. There's a lot of cool tech in here showing some really interesting possibilities. Congrats on that!

What kind of ui library are you using for this btw?

I've built the UI library myself, it's written in C++ and is drawing with OpenGL. (translated to WebGL by emscripten) Javascript is only used for the browser-related parts. The point of this is that the javascript layer can be easily replaced and the project built for other platforms. (for example it runs on iOS natively: https://apple.co/3QVAYAq)
