Nice interface at a first glance, for sure can be useful for users who would find using the actual thing too cumbersome. How does performance compare to the native app? Is any form of hardware decoding/encoding like h264_nvenc available? (I guess not?)

I would imagine the only way to use NVENC directly from a browser would be via WebCodecs.
~4x slower than native for encoding, which is acceptable for clips under 5 mins. No hardware encoding -- WASM is CPU-bound, for now. WebCodecs could bridge that gap in future.
