OP here. Thanks for the advice. I have been considering a few different options. Perhaps I could have a preloaded screenshot with the UI already initialised, so I immediately can show off the functionality? I don't know what is the best approach.

Yeah, I don't want to upload my data to a random website I've never heard of, just to see what the heck it does. You NEED a few examples, otherwise users will just close tab.

    Maybe it's imgur but this looks so bad. A tweet with examples would be better choice if you can't update on the website quickly

  > Yeah, You sound so cool when you start a sentence with "yeah" for no grammatical reason, as though answering a question that no one asked. I bet you're really laid back and were probably smoking a blunt and exhaling a massive cloud while you typed your comment. Did you personally innovate this conversational technique?

    What even is this criticism? An ad hominem attack based on a single word and your extreme displeasure of it?

        Do you think I give a shit about what you think of my superfluous words? Huh? Do you have anything substantive to say about the comments themselves as opposed to a hyperfixated diatribe based on a single superfluous word? Because everyone and their grandmothers is bored of your “holier than thou” soapbox ramblings about how you perceive random people on the internet. And just because you clearly don’t get it, the word “even” can be used for emphasis when something you are reacting to is absurd. Crazy thing, English, eh?

        Nobody’s ass is hanging out except the whiny pedant who has nothing better to do than to go on ad hominem-filled diatribes based on nothing that is grounded in reality. And who’s comments are clearly absurd enough to get downvoted and flagged. Because they in no way shape or form are about the topic at hand. I wonder who that person is in this conversation. Once again, and for the last time, do you have anything to say about the comments themselves, or are you just going to keep breaking the guidelines to get your rocks off on insulting others and their grammar over a single word?

  OP here. I understand this instinct. In this case it doesn't actually get transferred, but stays on the client, as stated in the footer: "Image processing is done in the browser. No image data is stored or transmitted."

    You should make that much clearer, maybe even by running it in a codesandbox, and submitting that link to HN. I think it might be received better than when marketed as a service (and also, if the process is client-side, why is there a subscription offering?) Think about Figma. They don't charge for how many drawings you make - that would seem ludicrous, especially since most of the compute power required to use the product is expended during client-side code execution. So instead, Figma charges you for using the app itself, but only once you want to add another collaborator to your private projects (at which point you're obviously happy with the product and probably willing to pay). If you want to monetize this, I would encourage you to think along those same lines. You are building a product for somebody - but for whom? You can answer that question by letting people use it for free and seeing who likes it the most - marketers? news article editors? - and then building more features to focus the product on their use case. Don't think about charging by volume - think about getting consistent usage from users who face this problem often, and then figure out how to integrate into their existing workflows. Then charge them money to do that.
